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.

It's a place to lay your head. Couple bugs and spiders. Bathroom is old as the hills, but the bed had a really nice soft blanket on it.

graduation stay

We came for Elmira College graduation. A better breakfast selection than just coffee would have been nice.
