Stayed here at last minute on way through finger lake region. Stayed in a room with a jacuzzi at the back. Staff very helpful and friendly with loads of tips for dinner in town. Breakfast was ok - bagels and muffins really. Room was quite clean though dont look too hard behind the beds... Rooms could probably do with a... More

I recently stayed at the Bird Nest on business and it was just perfect for us. Free FIOS internet and friendly staff. Sarah was very helpful in where the locals eat. I got a great kick out of the property dog named faldo. Played ball with him. They treated us like family. Price was right and the room was very... More

Wasn't horrible, definitely seen better. Close to town, but smelled a little musty. The front desk staff was very friendly. More

Excellent place and very friendly staff. Spacious and very clean rooms with air conditioning and very cozy. Not noisy at all as last year when we stayed at the holiday inn at Auburn it was very noisy and this was a nice change. They have a nice pool here too and the doggy at the bird's nest is very friendly... More

We met friends from Ohio, and met up with friends from Skaneateles, for a bike ride in the area. The Birds Nest provided a great place to stay at a reasonable price (prices for places to stay in Skaneateles are generally expensive). The pool was clean and very convenient after the bike ride, and there is an ice cream stand... More

This motel was recommended for it's location which did not disappoint us but everything else did. Rooms appeared clean but at a closer look were dusty, dirty, smelled like wet dog and felt unhealthy. By our 2nd night we worried about bed bugs. Didn't find any but the fact that we turned the light on to search was totally unacceptable.... More

Quaint family motel set off the main road and quiet, but right outside the village of Skaneateles....large room, queen bed, refrigerator, 2 comfortable chairs and table in room, clean carpets, ..lawn chairs and tables outside, pool, lots...

My wife and I have stayed here many times over the last few years while visitng family in Marcellus. I only dealt with the owner a few times when checking out, but the woman at the front desk was usually very nice and friendly. We've stayed in both the front motel-style rooms and the rear hotel-style rooms. All the rooms... More
