Great location! We loved how close everything was - plenty of restaurants, a supermarket, and a nice park all within easy walking distance. Free parking right behind the hotel on weekends was a bonus. Watkins Glen State Park is only about a half-hour drive away, too. The room itself was very clean, which we really appreciated.

The accommodations were great, unique, convenient and comfortable. When we checked in downstairs at Burgers and Brew JD went above and beyond to make sure our entire experience was great.

The location is perfect--walkable to everything we wanted to see and to many shops and restaurants. The only problem we had was regulating the air conditioning, even with the help of staff. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The Inn was very convenient to shops and restaurants and Corning Glass Museum was an easy drive. A shuttle to the Museum was a couple blocks away. The museum was also in walking district. The Main Street was quiet and charming.

What a fun place to stay. From the outside you didnt know what to expect. Once inside it was very different. It was like being in a very nice NY studio apartment. The exposed brick walls were great. Quirky little place. Though i would suggest a yellow caution strip on the front step into the street.

Two small issues. Their entry system is new and needs a little work and the stairs to the 4 room inn is quite steep so be careful if you have mobility problems. The rooms were huge and well appointed and very quiet despite the fact that they were above a resto/bar.

We go to Corning Museum of Glass as least once per year and this time we decided to stay overnight. The Gaffer Inn is above a restaurant that was recommended by friends. So we booked a room. It looks like an old brick facade on the outside, but the inside is quite the opposite. Our room was stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations. Great burger dinner downstairs and good watermelon hard cider.

The inn closes by 10 PM and the desk help gave us pictures and text messages so we could arrive safely around midnight - all worked out perfectly. Thank you for the guidance!
