Rating: 6.45

What guests think

Econo Lodge Hornell draws mixed reactions: several guests found it acceptable for a low-cost, no-frills stopover with friendly staff and convenient, quiet surroundings, while many others reported dated conditions and cleanliness problems across rooms and common areas.

Common room concerns include uncomfortable mattresses and pillows, smoke odors in non-smoking rooms, and missing or malfunctioning basics such as locks, TVs, phones, and drain stoppers. Facilities feel basic and aging, with inadequate outdoor lighting and weak hot water reported in places; a few reviews note ongoing renovations and on-site breakfast is very limited. Overall, expect a very budget, no-frills stay best for a short stop if you prioritize price over condition.

Can you say Bates motel?? The room appears to be clean when you walk in but the chairs, carpeting etc were filthy. We sat on the 2 bath towels we put on the chairs. The bathroom light has 4 bulbs - only one was lit. The parking lot around the buildings was not lit - since someone was in the room were were assigned, I had to walk to the office - in another building- in the dark to get things straightened out- it is not a flat area. A sign in the office asks you to bring your dirty towels to the office to exchange for clean ones if you were staying longer! It was an experience and we high tailed it out of there after our one night.

This property is under renovation and restoration but was clean and all staff were particularly wonderful. It has a bad wrap that I wish wasn’t talked about as it’s in beautiful surroundings and it’s being improved daily and the price was great for us being fixed income seniors. NO BED BUGS, towels were white as snow, shower had great water pressure and beds were clean. I was pleasantly impressed by the people and didn’t feel unsafe at all.

It was a decent place to stay and a clean basic motel. My room and the hallway was renovated with new paint and maintained landscaping. It is an older property but safe and clean. The staff was friendly but there was no daily housekeeping service. You have to go to the front office to ask for towels and toilet paper. There was a mini- fridge and microwave in the room. It can feel a bit isolated due to the decentralized motel design but I felt safe enough.

Outdoor lighting to find room inadequate. Only had a washcloth in the bathroom. TV didn't work and there was no instructions. Tried to call the office by darling zero as there where no instructions. Room could use update. Bathtub faucet drip, toilet seat cheap wobbly. Bathroom door can you send update. This is pretty much says it all.

This place was absolutely disgusting! Wads of hair in the bed sheets. Burn holes in the blankets. No drain stoppers in the sink or tub. Hair in the shower. Screen of the windows inside the room. No phone in the room. No outside light in the parking lot area. Painted spots on the walls. When I went to the desk to get a refund “Tara” charged my card again instead of a refund then I was told it could take up to 3 days to get my money back. I would never recommend this place.

The appearance of the hotel was very rundown. Our rooms were very shabby looking and cleanliness was in question. One room had sticky floors (I don't think this was because they were dirty but some sort of residue left from the cleaner that was used.) The second room's floor had areas of stickiness and areas that were so slippery you had to be careful not to fall. Could see outside through the cracks in the wooden trim around the air conditioners. Bathrooms were fairly clean but so rundown they felt dirty. No bath mats were provided. Fitted bed sheet had no elastic left on the corners and would not stay on throughout the night. Breakfast consisted of a choice of cold cereal or bagels placed in individual ziploc bags or a couple of pieces of bread also placed in Ziploc bags (didn't dare to eat after seeing the employees.)

Wow. This is the most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room was filthy, the sheets were dirty and had burn holes in them, the walls had damage and holes, the sink and tub were rusty and gross. The whole thing was horrendous and we left and went to stay somewhere else.

This was the worst place. It smelled like nasty cigarettes. The room was stuffy and the air conditioner did not work. There were dead bugs on the floor by the window. There was a hole in the wall. The bathroom light did not work and the electrical was exposed. Everything was dirty. Didn’t even looked like they ever cleaned. The wall paper was pealing off the walls. The flooring was missing by the bathroom. I couldn’t even stay there. I just left. No way could I have stayed in that filth!

I have personal pictures of the two hotel rooms I ended up in, in one night and it's definitely not worth the $120 dollars. I ordered a smoking room paid in full. And got a whole room that wasn't and was told that it was ok. The rooms are VERY dirty there was needle caps and rice in drawers. The housekeepers don't clean, the beds are like prison. One of the two beds had broken glass from a light bulb, and so much built up gunk, as well as sheets that don't fit th beds. I am so disappointed and dissatisfied. This place isn't how it use to bed anymore. My girlfriend is a full time housekeeper at one of the Indus hotels and that type of cleanliness in the econo Lodge is very unprofessional.

The girl at the counter, I forget her name but she had a blackwork tattoo with a moon in it on her inner left forearm, she was very very nice and understanding after a booking mistake. She did this while overwhelmed by people who appeared to be there for an extended duration. Whatever she's making, its not enough.
