    We had a truly lovely stay at the Benn Conger Inn. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. The lady who greeted us was incredibly kind and made our experience even more special by preparing a fresh breakfast for us every morning - something you do not always find, and it really made a difference. The hotel is located in a quiet, small village, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. Sometimes it's not about the rooms or the building - it's the genuine hospitality that makes a place memorable, and this stay was a perfect example of that.

    Top notch place, comfort and value. Breakfast was delicious and homemade. All the essentials for a hearty, great start to the day breakfast. Location was fantastic for us since we wanted to explore all the things the two largest Finger lakes have to offer. Best of all that stands above everything else is their personal touch and hospitality. One particular moment sums it all up. My wife had accidentally left some personal items behind. We were already so far away that couldn't go back, but Drew at the Inn was able to track the items down and personally went down to the post office to ship them to us! That's a personal touch I really didn't expect but I should have actually, since the moment we stepped foot at the Inn it really was a white glove experience from the start and of course even after we left! Lori was an amazing host as well and we felt immediately at home with her, in fact it was her childhood home, so no wonder she and Drew treat everyone as true guests to their home. Thank you Lori and Drew!

    Wonderful place to stay while exploring the Finger Lakes region!

    The only suggestions to make a great stay even better, would be to have a variety of pillow options and to have a non-pork/beef breakfast meat like turkey/chicken or veggie sausage on hand for guests who don't eat pork/beef. These are things that have been available at other places we've stayed.

    Everything was perfect upon arrival. Shelly made sure we were comfortable and was extremely helpful and attentive. The property was very quiet, great for a good night's sleep after hiking. We were in the Dempsey suite and enjoyed the porch with a view of rabbits and deer in the morning and evenings. Breakfast was delicious. Depending on the day there was a combination of fresh fruit, muffins, waffles and cinnamon bun French toast, as well as eggs cooked to order daily. The location worked great for exploring all the lakes and state parks in the area. Ithaca was 20 minutes away for any type of restaurant or store one would need.

    Sidewalks in front of the house were old and uneven, not the fault of the Inn.

    Savory breakfast options could not cater to our dietary needs (no pork). However we spoke to Drew who was more than happy and interested to work on this feedback to ensure more inclusivity.
