Everything worked well for us; friendly welcome, very large room with 2 double beds, all clean and comfortable, great shower (over bath). There is also a swimming pool open 12 hours a day and a fitness centre. All good for the price paid.

Hotel's Favourite
We had a room on the second floor and it was clean and quiet. The front desk was cordial and efficient. We decided to try Anthony's Restaurant inside the hotel for breakfast and it was a great choice- pleasant waitress and good food.

It was a wonderful experience. The room was clean, lots of pillows and towels. Pool was warm and clean. If you want gourmet coffee go spend hundreds more elsewhere. Anthony's Restaurant had excellent food, not inexpensive but worth the price. Service was great.

Honestly, beautiful hotel, not a 4-5 star by any means but what really messed us up was the restuaraunt they allow in there. Went for a wedding, accommodations ok, bar super over priced for a wedding and food was absolutely terrible. We tried the restaurant downstairs the night. Before and we’re super disappointed. I don’t leave bad reviews, and this was enough to do so. Their “homemade Alfredo” tasted like vomit the day before and unfortunately was served to the wedding party who also felt the same the day of the wedding. Roast beef was tough and gross also another fan not so favorite. Salt potatoes had something on them, but it wasn’t salt. Green beans, not too bad! I added an entire jar of Parmesan. Honestly for what they charge, hire the hotel for a “decent venue” PLEASE HIRE MCDONALDS AT LEAST FOR YOUR FOOD!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLY. Top three worst food I’ve ever tried.

We chose this hotel because 1. I am a Choice Hotel member and 2. It’s close to Corning which was our reason for traveling here. From check in with Sheila, to housekeeping, to both restaurants, the service was positively excellent! Bed and pillows comfortable. The wall mounted HVAC was difficult to regulate……either too cold or too hot, but we were gone a great deal of the two nights we stayed. It’s too bad the hotel is so shabby; carpets everywhere were very dirty, furniture out dated and also dirty, the key cards worked 50% of the time, this hotel needs some updating and with the staff they have in place it could be perfect. Thanks to Sheila for her help with the key cards!

We happened to visit the area during a busy week (when the local hotels had jacked up prices). But this hotel was relatively cheap. No free breakfast. Room was ok and fairly quiet but AC wouldn’t shut off. Hotel is pretty old and worn. I think it used to be a Holiday Inn.

What a worn out hotel. Grounds are worn. Lobby is worn. Halls are dreary and dark. Rooms are worn. Would not stay here again or recommend to anyone. Staff not present when I checked in - had to wait for them to 'appear'. No free breakfast - just a dumpy restaurant. Very disappointed.

Stayed here on a long road trip. Place was quite busy, hosting a wedding reception, when we checked in. The hustle and bustle had us worried about noise, but fortunately, our worries were unfounded. Staff was professional and unflustered by the flurry of activity near the front desk. Public areas of the hotel showed some years of use, but were not dingy. The key card reader for the entrance closest to our room would not accept my card, even when the front desk refreshed the card. The ice machine (First Floor near Entrance A)emitted a strong burning smell when we used it. The machine needs to be looked at by maintenance. Hotel restaurant offers a full service menu. Hooray! If not for the defective card reader (A MAJOR PITA when you have your hands full) and the ice machine that smells like an impending electrical fire, the hotel would have gotten a higher rating.

If you live for the nostalgia of the forgone glory of Holiday Inn, this is your place. Step back in time to 1990 and reminisce over the period furniture, peeling wallpaper, stained carpeting, cliche restaurant with shoddy overpriced food (Didn’t Jimmy Buffet knock Holiday Inn in “Cheeseburger in Paradise” in 1978??), the musty dusty hum (more like a rattle) of the antique heater/AC (kudos to mechanic keeping this beast running), and funky stench (Note: when a hotel is running the air conditioning in April when its 50 outside, they’re trying to keep something from growing). We specifically chose this property for its indoor pool, not realizing that we needed a separate reservation for pool time due to COVID restrictions. We were kindly offered a late checkout so we could claim the 12:45-1:30pm time slot. Thanks but no thanks, we’re not sticking around for pool time. Gotta admit, they really do cater to four legged guests. An extra $50 and you get a doggie gift bag with some treats and a poop bag (hint hint). There is ample grassy space to walk dogs. Unfortunately, others must have forgotten their poop bag or didn’t get one because it’s quite the mine field. Watch your step! For the same price, and the lack of pool time, we could have enjoyed a much nicer, newer, modern hotel in Horseheads, Ithaca or Corning.
