My teenage kids and I were in Elmira for a wrestling tournament and needed adjoining rooms. Wendy at the front desk was kind and easy to talk to , readily accommodating my families needs. Rooms were immaculately clean , property was perfectly maintained , and the beds were super comfortable. This place was everything my kids and I needed at a reasonable price- if we are ever in the area again we will absolutely stay here.

It was a great experience. Everything was so clean like new completely. Staff is very polite and had no problem. The only one thing is make sure you don’t let mosquitoes go inside the room. Other than that. Everything is awesome!

Really nice room -- carefully renovated and clean, well laid out, bright with lots of lights, good heating/AC, even a variety of pillows. Quiet because it is set back from the road. Friendly and helpful staff. A motel stay head and shoulders above most of my hotel stays.
