This is a very fun place to stay. The motel is clean, the beds are comfortable, and the rooms are very quiet at night. As soon you arrived you will see a Howe Cavern gift bag at your room as a welcome gift. I love it. The motel main office is located on the same property and has a nice cafe that serves a delicious breakfast and lunch until 3 pm. and open in the weekends. They cavern tour is fun and the place is beautiful and clean the tour guides are very knowledgeable and make the tour fun. The gift shop is a great place to purchase merchandise and has a nice selection of stones, crystals, souvenirs, and clothing from Howe Caverns, and they open weekends until 5 pm. The staff are Howe Cavern are very welcoming and Mr. Dave, the property caretaker, is very nice and helpful. This is a kids friendly and disable, friendly place. My special needs teenager loves the trip and the cavern tour. We love it so much. We are planning to return for the apple picking season. The only concern I had it was that at night everything was close even the main office, and the soda and water vending machines were not working properly, bring some water and snacks with you for your stay at night because if not you might have to go somewhere else to get water or something to snack on. They don't provide ice machines like other motels I stay in. They do have a coffee machine in the room and a small refrigerator. The trip was a nice weekend getaway. I definitely recommend this place.Rooms: Very comfortable and clean.

Howes Caverns Motel is run by the Howes Cavern. When you're checking into your motel, you actually have to go to the cavern to check in. That's how you get your key. I attached the paperwork and the inside paperwork that is given to you when you come to the motel. You can see on the paperwork that there literally cannot be any emergencies or you'll get charged for them. We had something crawling above our heads the enter night. It sounded like something running fast in one room and something tiptoeing in the other room. This would not have been on their emergencies so we didn't call. We were woken up with pounding on our door from room service. We were not ready to get going at 8:24 in the morning so we had to get dressed to answer the door. Check out is by 11, which is normal and fine, check in had to be done by 3:45 or they would let us know where they were putting the keys? Needless to say, we checked in by 3:45. There were no food options, store options or any accommodations available after 3:45 PM. Do not have an emergency, they will charge you. Our experience was not pleasant and we will not be back to the motel. The pool was closed and that wasn't an option for us to do either.

The room was nice when we walked in. And booking was easy over the phone. The positives were also the tv and mini fridge. The view was nice too.However, the bed and pillows were hard and extremely uncomfortable. The AC, which was right next to the bed, was the loudest I have ever heard. The water pressure in the shower was so weak that it was difficult to bath. There was a bug in the shower when we woke up. The coffee maker still had old used bags in it. I ended up sleeping very bad.

Exceptional, above expectations stay for a motel!!We had a great time at this motel. The view was spectacular from the window. Double sink bath sink, big bathroom with nice shower. Toiletries were high quality, coffee and tea were provided. Very clean and modern. We enjoyed our stay, and it was above our expectations. Will come back for sure.

Clean, spacious, gorgeous view. We got the stay and tour package which included free fudge and a 9 lb gem bag the kids were able mine themselves. The pool is small but soooo refreshing after a day in the hot sun (we started the day at the Herkimer diamond mines). The cavern tour was awesome. The cafe was just ok.

My fiancé and I were impressed with the motel room, it was clean, quiet and cozy. We stayed at the motel and then went to the Howes Caverns. We had a blast!We got the stay and tour package, so we got free 2lbs fudge and a bag of hidden gem stones. The view from the motel is breath taking, I can’t recommend it enough.Rooms: Room and bathroom have a good sizeNearby activities: The day before Howes Caverna we went to the Secret Caverns and Old Stone FortSafety: Safe and quietWalkability: It’s not walkable but we found Walmart 10 minutes away driving

We booked in late August, but I got called in to work. I rescheduled for late December with absolutely no issue. No question. Quick and easy.We drove up after Christmas and stayed for 3 days. What a lovely, little room. The room and bathroom were very clean! The staff was great. Very accommodating.The tour was fun. I’m ready to drive up on my next vacation!

Compared to other motels I have stayed at, this was one of the best. Room is modern, with a nice air conditioner, and a great view, clean and comfortable. I was there for one night, but more time would have been enjoyable.

The motel was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. The view alone is worth the price. The room was very clear and well kept. The property was well kept and had a pool. It was a relaxing get

The room accommodations were perfect. 9 adults; 4 rooms. Rooms were comfortable and CLEAN. Not one complaint from anyone. Rooms were nice size, beds were comfy, had microwave and mini fridge and other amenities. Cafe was perfect for breakfast and lunch. We were also able to enjoy the inground pool which was very clean and clear. Great place for families. There was a great selection of local places for dinner. Would recommend Middle Village Pasta & Grill, in Middleburgh.

We booked a room and a tour for the next day as a package. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, the water pressure was excellent, and the view from the parking lot was also quite nice. It was quiet there and after a good night's sleep we checked out and took the 90 minute cavern tour, which was great! It's an easy walk since they've made a fairly level brick pathway and there are only a few stairs here and there. As a bonus we got free fudge and a free bag for sluice mining in the package.

Took a mini trip just to see the Caverns. Was a toss between the Howe Caverns Motel and a local Hotel. Motel reviews were great so I decided to stay there for the two nights. First of all - the view is simply amazing - cannot be beat; I'd stay there for a week just for the view alone - and every single room has that view. 2nd - the room was clean, comfy - and the bathroom even had two rooms - one with double sinks! And a full size ironing board! 3rd - nice sized fridge. 4th - friendly knowledgeable staff and easy to reach service. The food in the cafe is fantastic - small menu but everything we got was hot and delicious. Pool was clean and in a great sunny spot.To summarize - if you're looking to do the caverns (which was great btw) and need a place to stay - look no further than the Howe Caverns motel.
