We did not stay. Nobody at Check-in desk but a paper & key. Used key to look at the room. Did not match advertised pic & was not suitable. We put key back on desk (still no one there) and left to go somewhere else.

Whispering Winds was our option for a couple of nights while in town for a wedding. Looking for a more cost effective stay, they were a great option. It was easy to check in and out and within a 3-5minute drive to all we needed.

Front desk staff was extra considerate, called to verify late check in.

The manager was extremely friendly and helpful and made the experience decent. The property is in fair condition. We unfortunately were housed next to some very rowdy people. The place will work for you if higher end properties are not available or you are just looking for a comfortable bed.

Summary: An overpriced, faded, unmaintained property with a shower I wouldn't step into.
What a disappointment! I figured staying on old US20 just outside of Skaneateles would be pleasant. In entering the driveway, it was obvious the grounds are not maintained. Grass uncut, "farm art" vehicle parked in front, poor paint, etc. I could go on.
Somewhat like an Airbnb there was no one to check in with, but rather a phone number to call to get the lockbox key code. We got in without any fuss. The only time we saw any "caretaker" was the morning after to collect payment (he came to our room door to do this). Any notion of a nice "family motel" does not apply here.
The room was (once) as pictured but the interior of the building was at least as bad as the exterior. The bed was OK. The bathroom was in desperate need of a remodel, and even without the there is no excuse for its dirty condition. The shower curtain had substantial mildew along the bottom, and the floor of the shower was quite dingy. (Irony alert- there is an envelope on the dresser so you can be sure to tip the housecleaner. Is there one?)
A terrible value- possibly the worst value of any stay in the last 20 years. Expedia won't let me mention cost. I would urge you to avoid this property.

The door to our room was an inch off the ground allowing bugs to come in. They were all over the room. There was no way to check in when we got there. Finally the owner showed up. I do not know how this place has an 8.4 rating.
1.0
The grounds were not kept up. Shabby. Pool closed and broken. We were put next to a room with a trashed car and loud and abusive “guest”. Will no be back. Sad place

Showed up pretty late our first night and the owner had called me to see when he could expect us to arrive. Owner was very helpful. Room was clean. Certainly not a 5 star hotel, but good enough for a 2 night stay. Bathroom was a little small, but clean and we had no issues. Window A/C unit was pretty loud, but we kept it running all night for some white noise. Beds were comfortable. No complaints.

Clean and comfy room...an old fashioned look motel with a pool (which unfortunately wasn't working the weekend we were there) but so much to do down in Skaneatlas, NY..very pleasant owner. Flat screen TV, fridge and coffee maker in the room. Chairs to sit on right outside your room...no need to stay in a big fancy hotel when this little gem is waiting for you.

Small roadside motel. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but room was spacious and clean, and management was super courteous , friendly, and accommodating. Would stay again !
5.0
The property manager went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed - way above and beyond our expectations. The room was very clean and there was covered parking right outside the door. There was even an outdoor sitting area complete with a citronella candle! It was also a nice surprise to be given a list of local places with a short description about them and what they were known for. We would definitely stay here again.

Old fashioned mom and pop motel that we love. The curb appearance is a little shabby, but the room was clean and perfect for our one night stay. Close to Skaneateles and Auburn which was convenient. The owners were very personable.

I wasnt sure at first about the rooms because of how much cheaper they were than everything close by, but was plesantly surprised to find a cute, clean room with a comfortable bed, plenty of pillows and the option of snacks! The shower water stayed hot for an extra long shower and had a hanging shelf for toiletries! The covered parking is a hige plus, and there is also outdoor seating with a table to relax outside. I only wish I had come later in the season when the pool is open!

Very conveniently located with an easy check in and check out. The room amenities, including 2 luggage racks, and a comfortable bed were fine. The shower was awfully small.

Cute motel with car ports for each room. Very clean.

Each room was its own individual bungalow, parked under the adjacent carport. The room was very spacious, good sized beds, had a refrigerator & coffee maker, also complimentary beverages & breakfast bars. No one was in the front office but they sent me a text message informing us of our room number, the door was open & key left inside. We would definitely stay again.

When we arrived the clerk was just leaving around 6pm. The email I received from Expedia said the front desk was open until 9pm .The clerk was nice and reopened the office to check us in .She had no idea that Expedia has them listed with a desk clerk until 9pm.The clerk said that they sent me a email regarding late check in I never received that e mail. I did show the clerk the email I received from Expedia stating open desk until 9pm.
Over all It is a nice place .The setting is more of a cottage than a motel. We did not stay long enough to use the pool so no comment there. Continental breakfast consisted of 2 orange juice 2 apples 2nutrition bars and a bag of cheezit ,coffee maker in the room and 2 pre packed coffee filters half and half in fridge
I recommend calling ahead if you will be arriving after 6pm

Super convenient to Beak and Skiff Orchards for a concert.
Clean. We literally just slept there.
Had an old moldy smell to it but running the AC took care of it.

Very nice retro motel. New owners have given a facelift and know it needs major reno but as is it's very nice.
Right now if they could increase the light in the room and have an animal secure garbage area that would be great.

Relaxing place , nice tables outside in the shade by the door, a little musty in the room but the A/C took care of it. I would stay there again for sure
