Econo Lodge Elmira-Corning  |  Hotel in Big Flats Airport

They are in the midde of renovations so driving up may look odd (chairs stacked on side of building , carpet rolls stacked off to the side, etc) but dont let that dissuade you as that is the outgoing stuff and thise stacks are under cover to be taken to the dump. I had 2 rooms over my stay (had to change room as I messed up and miacounted the dates and had to add a new day but the room i was in had already been booked for that night ) and both are remodeled and clean. No major issues with the ac or anything (one small issue with the TV remote but that was just low battery ). All in all a good price for a good hotel. Its not the 5 Seasons so no big frills but its a solid hotel for a nice basic stay.

This hotel is currently in the middle of a refurbishment. The available rooms have little amenities and are pretty basic. No alarm clock and the furniture was pretty warn. Bed mattress seems newer, but the sheets, thou clean, were clearly well used. Air conditioner was operational, but the exhaust ports were broken, damaged. Even though this was a non-smoking room, there was a strong hint of cannabis in the air upon first arriving. This seemed to go away after a few hours with the air conditioner on. The bottom line, in a pinch this place would do, but it's not recommended.

There were lots of construction materials everywhere. The doorknob wasn't working well, the shower curtain was ripped, the room smelled stale, the bathroom door was too close to the toilet and the bathtub. You can barely fit in the bathroom. They should do some maintenance on this property.

Room was clean. Had a damp smell. Very basic. Fine for just a quick stay

The room was clean. The staff was very thoughtful and accommodating. The property is currently being refurbished, so there’s a bit of dust here and there. All very temporary, I expect the place will be in mint shape once the refurb is complete.

The place is being remodeled so there is stuff laying around outside but not a big problem. The driveway needs repaving because of the potholes. The staff was nice and helpful. The room was clean, but the tub is very slippery and needs some grippies on the bottom. All things considered I would stay there again.

The rooms were definitely "well worn" and could use some basic attention. Two safety concerns were identified in the room, including a smoke detector that had been taken off the wall and a non-functional security chain at the door. On the up side, hotel guests received a discount at the adjacent Dairy Queen!

Under renovation. Nice new mattress. Renovated room but the work is a bit sloppy. Old armchair, etc. Good water pressure in shower. Helpful staff. Great price for the area. NO BREAKFAST. Lots of shopping close by. But it's Econo Lodge, so don't expect wonderful.

Wonderful front desk manager when I checked in, very friendly and welcoming. She was also super accommodating the next evening when I had asked for a blow dryer. The room was very clean. I enjoyed the stay and it was an excellent price point.

The Econo Lodge in Elmira was undergoing a lot of renovations before and during our stay, which changed some of my reviews from Excellent to Good only because of the clutter and distractions necessary for the renovations to proceed. Our actual room was perfectly clean and tidy since it was recently renovated/remodeled itself. Staff was extremely friendly and very prompt with needed assistance (like when the hot water was inadvertently turned off for an extended period during a room remodeling elsewhere on our floor). If I had any complaint about the property at all, it is the lack of any sort of breakfast provided for guests. Just a coffee maker (decaf was not working - only regular) and juice dispenser were provided in what used to serve as a breakfast area. Sometimes when heading out at 6AM, it's handy to be able to pick up a bagel or pastry on the way out! We stayed at this property for 4 nights to attend our daughter's graduation from Cornell University about 40 miles north. I'd actually recommend it for families in similar circumstances each May that don't want to pay the $1000+ per night rates in Ithaca around graduation time (that are mostly fully booked a year in advance anyway). The 45-minute drive from Elmira to Ithaca is absolutely lovely so was no obstacle to our having a wonderful experience soaking in all that Ithaca, the Cornell campus and the graduation ceremonies had to offer:) Overall, I would rate the property an 8 out of 10 - excellent for the price paid!
