What guests liked

  • Restaurants and dining options were within walking distance and highly praised for their quality and convenience. (3 reviews)
AI Sparkle IconFrom real guest reviews summarized by AI.

6/10 Good

The room was spacious and somewhat clean. It is more just a room than an Inn, no reception, lobby or lounge. I prefer doublets, but there was a thin sheet as your sleeping cover. Location is perfect, in the heart of Corning, very close to all cafes and restaurants, walking distance to the glass museum.
Yehuda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Daria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a cool place to stay. So clean, comfortable, different. Great spot right on Market Street above a restaurant. We definitely will be back! Can’t wait!

Wine Trip

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.
Vanessa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very large, comfortable room right in the heart of Corning. Steep stairs to the room.
derik, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Anne Carter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Martha, 2-night trip

Great location but room #3 has an unpleasant smell and the bathroom has a faulty faucet.

Timothy, 1-night trip

Greatly enjoyed our stay and the ease of accessing our room. Never saw any staff but didn't need anything so rated that average. But room was clean and quiet.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff. Very helpful staff. Room size is great. Only minus was a temporary ac unit that was a minor issue. Everything else was perfect at the hotel.
William, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Brett, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Ronald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Dennis, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed the location and property overall. The only thing I would improve on is the air-conditioning. It did not cool the unit efficiently but it was not that bad and we would definitely stay here again! Very nice, well kept unit in a convenient location. Comfortable bed and overall nice atmosphere.
Graziella, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

great stay in corning!

This is a great apartment type room in cute downtown Corning. It is spacious and clean and in a great location. The only downside is the couch bed. We had two teens with us and thought we could sleep 4 -- we were wrong. No human body of any size should have to sleep on that hide-a-bed. The suite is large and could easily accommodate an extra double bed or set of bunk beds if arranged properly and it would be a very comfortable stay for all involved. Otherwise the stay was great! Clean, easy check in and out, etc. highly recommend.
Kayla, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place! Amazing location! Soft bed!

Amazing location! Very cool place! We had the King sized bedroom, very clean and new carpet, well decorated, fridge, microwave, sink, little kitchenette corner. The bed was really (REALLY) soft, so unless you like sleeping in a marshmallow it may not be best for you. I need a firm mattress for my back, so ended up spending half the night on this excellent full length leather couch. Check in at the bar was a breeze. Parking for free right behind the building on weekends.Did hear a little music until about 11 but not bad.
Karen, 1-night trip

Definetly not superb

Alot of stairs and for the cost a motel would have been the same but room was clean. Did have to.restick cable box to wall and swith batteries in remote to get tv to work and a trip to store for ice as there is not hotel ammenities.
Debra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We've never stayed in an inn quite like the Gaffer Inn. There's no sign, no real personnel connected with it, and it's kind of like staying in a Speakeasy from Prohibition Days. You can only enter during your prepaid time period with a special code. To get to your room, you have to walk up steep steps behind an unmarked door in the front or a bit scary metal steps if entering from the rear. This place is not handicapped accessible and there is no one to help you with luggage or questions or recommendations. Nevertheless, why did I give this five stars? Well, once you get to your room, it is beautiful and clean. It was like having a nice studio apartment, interestingly decorated and equipped with everything you could need. This is not the place for anyone who likes cookie-cutter hotels or needs lots of additional services or feels uncomfortable with checking in and out without human contact. But, if you like unique hotels that are walkable to many of Corning's attractions and restaurants, I highly recommend the Gaffer Inn.
