Holiday Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 09 Oct 2011 rated 3 out of 10.

There were no rooms available. The hotel gave me a room that was being serviced since they could not refund my money or provide me a discount. The room had a malfunctioning shower and a non-functioning AC/Heat unit.

Positives: It had a bed.

Negatives: Ugh.

Excellent place to stay, a little off the beaten trail with close proximity to the interstate.

Positives: Newly renovated clean rooms.

Negatives: Just atmosphere in the dining room wasn't finished yet.

..Fast service, very relaxing, just what me and my spouse needed for a weekend away, the people checking us in could have been a bit more friendly and smiling, but other then that it was a relaxing get away weekend.

Positives: Very relaxing.

Negatives: People were not as welcoming when checking in.

The hotel is in renovations, so this will change, but right now, it is a scary 70's flashback with chandeliers on the floor, plastic over doorways, plywood walls. I can appreciate that they need to make money during this time, but ack, did not want to pay for that view!

Positives: Plenty of free parking.

Negatives: Very dated.

I was very disappointed in this rating of 3 stars for this hotel. The fact they are under construction in no way influenced my opinion, this hotel should be a 2 - 2 1/2 stars at most. Old TVs, the smell and the old rugs in the hallways, made me feel as though I was staying at a Motor Inn.

Positives: Staff was friendly at check in, and the view of the river was nice.

Negatives: Smelled like a Motor Inn.

This hotel has a problem. On the weekends they cater to kids hockey and basketball teams and these kids cause havoc. I am uncertain what these bratty kids parents are doing during their stay. For the adult business traveler or pleasure visitor - they run the place like a regimented boot camp. After paying for the room, purchasing dinner and drinks, I walked into the bar with a drink from my room and was confronted by one of the male bar staff and interrogated about my drink and made to feel lucky. The cleaning staff is surely and banged on the door at 9 am (and woke us up) to come in and clean the room. The sauna was wrecked by a bunch of kids the night before and was not available for use. This staff is clearly been told to be very aggressive and keep to the rules, even with mature, paying adults who are know how to behave and are traveling on business. I would look elsewhere for a place to stay. Horse heads has several nice hotels which are much more accommodating to grown ups.

Positives: Nice staff in the restaurant.

Negatives: Run like a death camp - very inflexible and not accommodating to adult business travelers.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn, Elmira. The rooms were well appointed and clean. The indoor swimming pool was a nice size and the room it was located in felt very large and open. The front desk staff was very helpful with directions to local eateries and shopping.

Positives: We were located very close to the indoor pool, which was very convenient.

Negatives: We could hear voices in the hallway in the middle of the night.

This is a great economical hotel which suited my needs for the night. Very clean, very friendly, no complaints. However, if you have a family and are checking in late, beware the bar crowd that will undoubtedly verbally accost you when walking into the lobby.

Positives: Very clean, friendly staff, comfortable and good location.

Negatives: There's a bar next to the lobby, made the registration very uncomfortable and I was verbally harassed when walking in and out.

When we arrived, was told only a smoking room was available. Told the staff, we had a toddler that had breathing problems and could not stay in a smoking room, and was told nothing could be done. We asked the manager if we could switch rooms if a non-smoking room became available, was told no.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Only had smoking room.

Located in a very economically depressed city, this place deserves credit for even staying open. Not a lot of choices. I said here because my 40th HS reunion was co-located. I was prepared to be disappointed by the room and overall feel of the place, but was pleasantly surprised. The halls were clean and smelled OK. But the was room really clean, spacious, and attractive.

Positives: Impeccable room cleanliness, maid crew deserves kudos.

Negatives: The occasional loud slammed door broke the otherwise peaceful quiet.

My husband and were there to attend a concert at Tags Summer Stage and the location of the hotel was very convenient and easy to get to. We were so impressed with the accommodations and the cleanliness of the hotel that we wished we could have extended our stay! Thank you for providing us with such a quality place to stay at such an affordable price. I have to admit I was a little worried not knowing the area or any of the hotels but you did a fantastic job and I would go back to that hotel any time I was in that area.

Positives: Clean, comfortable, attractive, well maintained, people friendly. Wished I could have stayed longer!

Negatives: Can't think of anything I did not like.

Was an older hotel, but remodeled. It was better than we expect and very comfortable. Would stay again as it is near everything we visited? Wineries, shopping and historic places.

Positives: It was clean, comfortable and quiet.

Negatives: It did not include a continental breakfast.

The first night of my stay was unpleasant due to a draft in the door and a broken hair dryer. The next morning I spoke to the General Manager and she gave me a new room and gave me credit for the previous night!

Positives: Location and the staff.

Negatives: The first room I was assigned.

I stayed two days and the same trash was on the floor for both days. I was kept up until 3:00 a.m. with people in and out of their rooms. People in the hallway yelling and swearing, doors to rooms slamming. The key to my room did not work the second day.

Positives: Convenience.

Negatives: The room had trash still on the floor when I arrived.

This hotel is convenient and clean. I did not dine in the restaurant but It appeared to be very nice. The staff was very courteous and If we had mentioned the heating problem I'm sure the staff would have responded, but It was late and not convenient for us to change rooms or wait for a fix the evening that we stayed.

Positives: Very professional staff.

Negatives: Heater did not work, cool air only.

Hotel located in an isolated area in a downtown urban area. I prefer locations near interstates, malls or airports. The hotel was clean & neat but old and in need of a renovation.

Positives: Rate room was very clean.

Negatives: Limited exercise room no elevator.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 08 Oct 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

Good location, well maintained. Should think about including breakfast.

Positives: Location, highway access, quiet.

Negatives: Initial smell of the room. Opened the window.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 05 Sep 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

Do not go there.

Positives: Bad.

Negatives: The toilet overflowed.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 02 Sep 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

This room has one fold down double. We had to order a trundle. When we asked for it, we were told "I don't think one is available". Thank god it eventually showed up. The room had an outside door that was not sealed correctly. You could see the parking lot lights through the gap it the door and that made it even harder to sleep. The noise was bad, but the cold draft was worse. And did I mention the heat wasn't working? In the morning the toilet overflowed, and that is when we left. Got another room else where. I know riverside has better rooms, but they were full that night.

Positives: I left early.

Negatives: The toilet over flowed.
