Good price and quite area

Booked hotel because it was close area attractions, Watkins Glen International Speedway, Corning Glass museum and other great local attractions. Price was right but beds were old and a bit uncomfortable, everything else in room was ok and meet the needs for a weekend getaway.

Needs a face lift

Was in town for a family wedding. I found Elmira to be a charming old industrial town rich in history. But the mark Twain Inn is badly in need of updating.
