Hotels in The Finger Lakes
32 properties in our New York State selection sit in the Finger Lakes. Compared on review record, price reference and what the property itself offers.
What the selection looks like
Across 32 of the 32 properties in the Finger Lakes, the August 2026 snapshot ran from $115 to $499 a night, with a median of $168. Treat those as reference points rather than rates you can book today.
Review scores here have a median of 8.9, and 28 of 32 sit at 8.5 or higher. We rank on a review score weighted by how many reviews it rests on, so a perfect score from a handful of stays does not outrank a strong score from thousands.
Within this set, 5 of the 32 list a pool, a far higher share than anything in the city selection; 12 list a pet-friendly policy; the mix is mostly 17 hotel, 8 bed and breakfast, 3 motel.
