I had a wonderful experience at the Relax Inn Elmira! The location is perfect — just a few minutes from Elmira Airport, which made my travel so convenient. There are food outlets and restaurants nearby, so grabbing a quick bite was never a problem. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the beds were comfortable — I had some of the best sleep I’ve had while traveling. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next trip!

No food or drink options, dead bugs on floors, bathroom mat dirty, beds squeaked when sleeping, walls had cracks and scrapes, door did not fit properly in the frame, additional charges at check in, tried to overcharge me for the room, bathroom walks above shower were wet, bathtub spigots were half hanging out, unable to turn off water in bathtub/shower…this place was a complete dump

Awful place

So im a travel nurse. I had called 3 weeks prior to my stay if they allow early check ins at morning. After my shift. Moat hotels accomadate me. Some dont. The ones that dont, its no big deal. As ill politely go sonewhere else that does. Well, i get told that i can check in early if there is room available. Totally understand if they are sold out. So the day of check in, i get told by said lady who is owner that i cant check in early . I asked her in a nice way why did she tell me i could a few weeks ago. Then she tokd me she does have a room , but i have to pay an extra night. Mind you its 8 am at this time. An extra night? Not when she told me i can check in early .. she insisted no hotels do that. I travel to city to city. Most hotels let me do it. Some dont. Thats why i call ahead of time. I told her econo lodge let me do this. She gave me an attitude and said i can stay at econo lodge then. I told i will ... do i call hotels.com. saying i dont want to get charged for cancelling reservation late. Hotels.com called owner. Kind of smoothed things over and she said she wont charge me an extra night if i come back... so i come back and she had the nerve to tell me i had an attitude when i walked in. I absolutely did not. Only have she told me i can go somewhere else, did i give an attitude . Issue 2- i didnt expect a 10 percent fee sign if booking reservations. I have never paid extra 10 percent fee after booking through hotels.com. ridiculous

The description on Expedia didn't do it justice. There was a very nice midsize refrigerator and a microwave. The room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I was disappointed in was that they tried to charge me an extra 10% fee over the price I paid Expedia when I checked in. The clerk said she would ask about taking it off and they did not pursue it so far. The desk clerk was pleasant and courteous. They made up the room without me asking! Motel was just a few minutes from the airport but was peaceful and seemed safe.

It's exactly what you expect for the price. A little sketchy and I could see the outdoors when I shut the door (add the weather stripping already). BUT the sheets were super clean. Also, the air freshener they used could be removed. It is too strong and impacts air quality. It's fine for $80/night.

Classic motel with basic comfort & amenities

This is a vintage midcentury motel tucked away on a side street. The lady who checked us in was friendly and welcoming. Our room was small as expected in a vintage place. Regardless, everything worked, the beds were comfortable, the linen crisp. The bathroom was renovated. Fridge & microwave were clean and useful. Wifi was quite good. The motel was set on a large lot with lawn, gardens, outdoor table. Good for birdwatching. The highway (I-86) is up a slope to the rear of the property; some traffic noise was audible but the A/C fan filtered it out. All in all a nice little place--we'd stay there again.
