First in for most the rooms were ok! Thats about it, everthing else was bad. The service bad , the people rude. I got charged an extra 30 dollers for a tissue holder that was never there. Please when your in town. try some where else. just cause its cheaper does not mean its better. Thank You

I live near this motel. Every day I get "offender" notifications from the police department telling me about all the people that live at this motel. I don't understand why they allow these people to stay there on a permanent basis. There are a lot of children living in this area, and is not very far from several schools. There... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at this motel because it was the cheapest we could find and in a convenient location, but we weren't exactly sure how nice it would be. We both were truly surprised at how nice it was. As soon as we walked in the smell of fresh laundry hit us in the face. The bathroom was... More

Came to Elmira for Thanksgiving. Man, where do i begin? Completely dirty, broken heat, lightbulbs blown out in most lights, remote didn't work, hair all over the bathroom, no soap, tub clogged. There was just dirt everywhere too. That's just the gist of it as far as the room goes. No need to keep going with that. Now to everything... More

I was in town to visit family, and my brother and I booked a room at the MTMI. Upon arrival we were exhausted and went straight to bed on the dingy, cold sheets, as the heat in the room barely worked. When we awoke we found a moldy ice bucket bag, and a used condom in the corner of the... More
