    Perfect location. Felt like an apartment comfy couch

    We spent 3 nights in the Majestic Suite. It was perfect! The separation between the bedroom area and the living room was great if one of us preferred to sleep longer in the morning. The location is excellent, just walk down the stairs and explore Market Street. We really liked how private it was, it’s a boutique hotel with just a few rooms. The bed was so comfortable as was the living room furniture. There’s also a table to dine on if you choose to order takeout from the restaurants nearby and a beautiful desk and chair if you need to catch up on work. The WiFi was great. I would love to come back again, Corning is such a cool town and the area is beautiful. We spent an entire day at the Corning Museum of Glass, and made our own glass paperweight. Also went to the Rockwell Museum which is just steps away from the hotel and spent a day hiking Watkins Glen which was spectacular.

    Stayed overnight on a drive to Maine. Restaurant beneath was closed, had to text to get code to get in. Room was large and clean. Probably slept better without chance of bar noise below.

    This place was beyond our expectations. The room was huge. You have to make sure that you can climb stairs to get to the room as the description states. Wonderful place to stay in the Gaffer district. We were disappointed that the stores and shops were not open but we were there on a Tuesday and not the weekend. Clean and spacious. Would not hesitate to book again.

    Room was little dark. Maybe bright light bulb can help?

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This is the perfect location! Just down the stairs and you are in the middle of the Gaffer District. Its also an easy walk to Corning Museum of Glass. We parked the car and never needed it again all weekend.

    . great town and great visit.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The property was in a great location with easy walking distance to everything we wanted to do in Corning. The bartender was great in getting us into our room. We attempt to use any of the kitchen facilities as we were only there one night. The bed was comfortable. The room was very spacious. The room was a little dark. I think just replacing a few of the lightbulbs with stronger ones would’ve helped.

    To many stairs and no elevator. This should be in your advertisement. The shower had mold and curtain smelled. I feel the price was too high for what you got. I don’t think I could recommend .

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The accommodations weren’t as historic or charming as we’d hoped. The property could benefit from a bit of a refresh. That said, it was comfortable, served its purpose for a one-night stay, and offered good value thanks to its convenient location and free parking.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Would highly recommend both the hotel and restaurant. Definitely will return on our next road trip. Thanks to all the amazing staff and their hospitality

    Excellent location Dim lighting. Noisy poorly functioning a/c. Somewhat smelly carpeting.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Large and clean room

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    21 steps to the second floor was a bit of a climb, but we survived 😁 Great accommodations, large room, nice mattress and furnishings. A bit of confusion checking in, but sorted out quickly. Right in the middle of the historic district.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nice, small inn in the heart of a charming town.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I did like being downtown Corning, and there was plenty of parking it was on the second floor and the only way to access it was going up and downstairs, and I didn’t realize that at the time I rented the property

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We had a HUGE room with fireplace overlooking Main Street. Surprisingly quiet considering the location, which puts you right in the middle of the action. Plenty to do (and eat 😊) within walking distance.
