"Good location on the Chemung River. Grand new hotel; everything was clean and shiny. There was an on-site restaurant, but it didn't have windows. Ask for a room on the 2nd floor so you can see the river.2017-05-25"
"The fridge was so loud that it kept us awake most of the night. The front desk clerk said there was nothing she could do. Don't stay at this hotel.2017-04-15"
"A terrible experience. Some hotel employees wore masks, but others didn't. When we got to our room, we noticed white paint all over the floor. The floors hadn't been mopped, the TV was on, and there was dirt in the corners of the bathroom. The wardrobe handles were on the inside, and we were never told that there was a coffee maker and hangers inside. The bathroom sink was clogged. Housekeeping woke me up vacuuming at 6:30 AM. No breakfast because of Covid. I was uncomfortable just going to my car because of the unsavory people hanging out in the parking lot. Don't stay here.2020-07-06"

"Short drive to grocery stores, mini marts, gas stations, a liquor store, and restaurants. The room had a fridge with a freezer. The hotel staff provided helpful directions to Niagara Falls. Great complimentary breakfast.2019-09-23"
"Close to a mini-mart, gas stations, stores, and restaurants. Corning, NY was about 3 miles away. The hotel and room were clean, comfortable, and pleasant, and I liked the subdued decor. The employees were cheerful and welcoming. We stayed here twice in one week; the 1st room was fine but didn't have a fridge. The 2nd room had a fridge with a freezer. WiFi was free. The evening clerk set up a new TV remote control and welcomed us back when we returned. The morning clerks gave us printed, detailed directions to Niagara Falls. Good complimentary breakfast with hot food and gluten-free cereal. No elevator. The bar was friendly and had a TV, and a basic dinner menu was available. 2019-09-21"

HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
