Over the past 2 years, I have returned to Skaneateles several times, and my choice of accommodation there is definitely either the Skaneateles Suites (2 mi. outside of town) or this in-town hotel, both of which are managed by the same owners. I spent one night recently in their ADA-compliant room in town, which happened to be the one that was available at the last minute (see their website for great deals on last-minute accommodations). It is superb: roomy, with a huge walk-in shower, a desk, comfy giant chair, and of course a very comfortable bed. There is a wrap-around porch outside, where one can linger even on a rainy afternoon and enjoy the ambiance. All of their properties have excellent furnishings and every comfort one could wish for. If one is going to choose between their properties, I would recommend that first-time visitors to Skaneateles might like this one. Staying in town is a plus, because you can walk to everything, leave your car parked at the hotel, and easily enjoy all the activities and shopping. For an extended visit, or for those who want to explore the area and visit wineries or do other day-trips, I would recommend the Skaneatles Suites, which are just slightly out of town and are absolutely quiet, tranquil, and yet in the heart of beautiful surroundings and still close to everything. Either way, the staff at either of these hotels will make your stay a very pleasant one.
