The village of Waterloo, New York is named for the Belgian location where the French dictator Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated. The village is located in Seneca County, New York, and in an unusual arrangement, it is one of two county seats. The other county seat is located in Ovid. If you want to stay in a small village in New York, consider a discount hotel in Waterloo. There are fewer than 6,000 people in the village, and most of it is inside the town of Waterloo. However, you could find a budget hotel in Waterloo that is actually located inside the town of Fayette.

Waterloo has earned the name of the ‘Birthplace of Memorial Day,’ and the Memorial Day Museum is found there. Since the town sits between two of the main Finger Lakes, you can enjoy the New York lake district when you stay in Waterloo. Both Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake are worth a visit.
