The location is great if you like bodies of water. The rooms were clean and are kept that way. It is a nice place but is worn and lost the crispiness of new things. Price is very reasonable. It is a big place for the small family to run. Like all people the owners have there days.
All things considered well worth it.

What a great place, charming clean rooms, wonderful and helpful owners, and a great price.

I called and made reservations for a single bed/suite which I was told had a full living area as well as a kitchen. When we entered our room I saw that we didn't have a full living area but one upholstered chair and a straight back chair. There was a charming small kitchen with an apartment sized stove and oven and a full sized refrigerator. Since I had paid a higher price for a full sized living area I questioned the owner about it the next morning and she apologized profusely saying that some of their help is still learning their job. She credited my card for the amount and cheerfully brought out some hangers I had requested for the coat rack in our room. She also had an extra chair placed in our room at my request so we would have someplace to put our suitcase other than the floor. The room was clean and fresh although if you're into up to date decor this won't be what you'll find here. There was also a lack of surface areas to place our belongings and their was no desk to use my computer so I used one of the straight back chairs in front of the upholstered chair. The bathroom lacked surface space for toiletries on their small sink. There is no hairdryer either but we carry our own. Other than these few inconveniences we really enjoyed ourselves. We slept well on the comfortable bed, everything worked in the kitchen, the wireless connection was great, there was a clock on the wall as well as the alarm clock, our entry door had a screen door as well as the security door and the porch that our entry door opened out to had a comfortable seating for seeing the trees and some visibility of the lake across the street. We will probably stay here again in the future.

I was visiting an elderly family friend in Penn Yan and since I did not want to make work for her I looked for a place to stay nearby. After reading the reviews I called Colonial Motel and was offered a great rate for the week I needed.

Upon arrival I was greeted by the couple who own and run the motel. I felt immediately at home. I was given a large "cottage" that was in a "duplex" but it felt completely like a stand alone cottage. It was incredibly clean and had all I needed to live for a week once I went grocery shopping. Full stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker w/filters. Dishes, silverware, cookware, cooking utensils. Shower/tub bath. There was a 'lounger" couch in addition to a queen or king bed.

On my second day when I asked the owners where I might purchase a camera nearby, they loaned me their almost unused camera for me to use during the week.

I would recommend this to anyone who is sick of chain hotel/motel rooms without character and with far better rates. The motel is across the street from the lake, very near to town, restaurants, grocery store, pharmacies, etc. It is also close to 2 libraries which I used when I needed free wifi.

As I was there to visit a friend I did not do much sightseeing or engage in nightlife, but it is a gorgeous area & I can't wait to go back to visit again, soon.
