Whispering Winds Motel

Its quiet and the motel management are honest and trustworthy. Only complaint is the shower is cold and the coffee is week.

Great place for a little get away. Our room was clean and nice for the price. Staff was friendly.

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.

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.

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. ******* 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.

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.
