We stayed at the Bird's Nest on a 90+ degree, rainy weekend in July. The room was larger than expected but was in an annex building that was dark and musty. The power went out during a heavy rain storm. We checked out a day early at noon because we were traveling with our elderly Mother. She physically could not... more

This is the 2nd worst motel/hotel I've ever stayed at. 1. The rooms are very small 2. The beds are like sleeping on cardboard 3. There is dog poop on the front lawn, 4. The maids turn off the a/c when they clean the rooms, 5. There is no refrigerator or microwave 6. The pool is nasty 7. Don't take... more

My wife and I were looking for a motel as we drove through NY state. It was getting late and we found The Bird's Nest Motel. For $79 +tax ($90)/night we weren't too impressed. Unimpressive: 1. Sound: The wall are very thin. We were given the keys to the first room and when we walked in the room we could... more

Stayed two nights here in a king jacuzzi suite. As far as motels go, this place is clean, spacious, very well priced and has a great location. I found this place online and was hesitant to book without pictures of the rooms so i made a point of taking some for here :) more

This was a real find in the pricey Skaneateles area. It was inexpensive, quiet, pleasant, and very homey. We really enjoyed sitting outside in our Adirondack chairs and enjoying the dinner we had brought "home" from downtown Skaneateles. The resident black lab gave us a warm welcome. more

Three friends and I decided to spend our annual golf week in Skaneateles New York a great town to visit. We stayed at he Bird's Nest and had a wonderful time. The owner Bob Evans went out of his way to help us with golf bookings and to make us feel welcome. The rooms we had were quite spacious and... more

We've stayed at the Bird's Nest on numerous occasions and mostly have had good experiences. The most humerous time was their not allowing my grown, adult girls (age 24 and 27) to use the pool without a "grown-up" (me). Oh, by the way, they can swim, I can't. more

This was a nice mom-and-pop type motel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean and the property was well-kept. We did not get a chance to swim in the pool. Good value. more

We have been in to Skaneateles many times and always stay at the Birds Nest. The staff is always very helpful and the prices are very resonable compared to many others in town. "Come on, wireless internet for free, coffee, continental breakfast and a friendly dog to greet you." I do not know why someone would not stay at the... more
