Repeat visitor. Absolutely NO frills, not even coffee, but the beds are comfortable and the air conditioning works.
This place needs a deep scrub. I don't think my room had been occupied or entered for a while.
Rooms aside, the staff is always pleasant, welcoming, and helpful.

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.

Rooms are okay for price but not reflecting the high rating given to them.
However, restoration work is going on in this hotel where painting and other disgusting smells all around the common area. This is not mentioned anywhere. So disappointed.

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.

I had to make last minute reservations and Econolodge Elmira was easy to work with and reasonably price. They were helpful on the phone when I was call about a late night arrival to the airport and trying to find transportation. The ELM airport is small and closes up rather early so taxi service was sketchy.

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!

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!

The hotel is getting a lot of work in the hallways so it was pretty messy. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Bath nozzle was very loose and falling off the wall. Shower was very hot the first day but not hot the second day.

They were currently under construction to upgrade so hallway walls and rugs were being replaced but the room was completed, clean and comfortable. The staff was very attentive and helpful and it was a great price. It was easy to find and convenient to the Horseheads fairgrounds. The driveway needs some repaving but they were filling in the potholes, irs been a harsh winter for pavement. In all, I would stay there again.

It was fine. Room was a little cold and not much blankets so we turned up the heater. Front staff friendly. The biggest issue was the bathtub was really slippery. I had to be careful while showering and plant my feet firmly on the sides. When I told my family, they didn’t shower bc they didn’t want to risk injury.

Third and last time I will be staying at this location. The hallways always reek of some sort of perfume I assume is used when cleaning the carpets or something. Way too overpowering. We went through 4 key cards because the locks were so touchy and not working well so the keys timed out and stopped working often. The remote for the TV was dead, there were no tissues within the room, and there was a weird smell in the AC to which we went and got lysol so it would smell better. Will not be staying again.

Price was great but that's about it. You can do better.
Microwave, refrigerator and tv cords all ran behind the same cabinet. There are only two outlets and only the microwave was plugged in. I had to go to the desk and get an extension cord, move the cabinet myself and rearrange the cords.
The floors were not clean and the flooring is separating. The door lock worked separately, and the hot and cold water for the sink is plumbed backwards. Lamps were not plugged in. However the bed was comfortable.

The best part about this location is the staff and ownership! Flying in late to Elmira forces travelers to get a hotel when the car rental desk closes early. This means struggling to go anywhere! After trying Uber, Lyft, and a local transportation company we were stuck at the airport. One call from the front desk and a van picked up my family of five and luggage in time to still get dinner at the Applebee’s next door! Life saver.
