Relax Inn

The staff at Relax Inn met me with a friendly smile and was very courteous. The facility was dated, but was immaculately clean and everything worked. I'd stay there again if I was ever in that area.

This is a vintage midcentury motel tucked away on a side street. The lady who checked us in was friendly and welcoming. Our room was small as expected in a vintage place. Regardless, everything worked, the beds were comfortable, the linen crisp. The bathroom was renovated. Fridge & microwave were clean and useful. Wifi was quite good. The motel was set on a large lot with lawn, gardens, outdoor table. Good for birdwatching. The highway (I-86) is up a slope to the rear of the property; some traffic noise was audible but the A/C fan filtered it out. All in all a nice little place--we'd stay there again.

Wrong listing: Per property description, the rooms should have been non-smoking; breakfast should have been included. The rooms had bad smoking smell that did not go away with heavy air freshener sprays; bathroom door had no lock; main room doors were barely locking; windows had no locks; linens were stained with burn holes.

No food or drink options, dead bugs on floors, bathroom mat dirty, beds squeaked when sleeping, walls had cracks and scrapes, door did not fit properly in the frame, additional charges at check in, tried to overcharge me for the room, bathroom walks above shower were wet, bathtub spigots were half hanging out, unable to turn off water in bathtub/shower…this place was a complete dump

The description on Expedia didn't do it justice. There was a very nice midsize refrigerator and a microwave. The room was clean and comfortable. The only thing I was disappointed in was that they tried to charge me an extra 10% fee over the price I paid Expedia when I checked in. The clerk said she would ask about taking it off and they did not pursue it so far. The desk clerk was pleasant and courteous. They made up the room without me asking! Motel was just a few minutes from the airport but was peaceful and seemed safe.

Liked: Location - Just off I-86 & easy to find. MAJOR shopping area within 1 mile so found Dinner, stuff we needed, Breakfast within minutes of Relax Inn. Even with I-86 just behind the Inn we didn't hear it unless outdoors. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Room was clean. Beds were excellent. Not So Good: Room was somewhat worn. Paint, caulk, bathroom fixtures need touchups. (if you redo the bathroom, consider adding Grab Bars in the shower.) Overall, we would stay here again if our route/schedules permitted. If you are expecting a resort experience you will be dissapointed. If you are looking for a place to stop for a night or two, the Relax Inn is perfect. (The backyard is perfect for a quiet picnic with a table and chairs.)

This was a basic motel - older and somewhat worn but fine for the price. Front desk person was very pleasant and business transaction was easy. Would stay again.

very affordable motel,old building and amenities but friendly staff, recommend for 1 night stay

Convenient location, basic place to stay, nothing fancy.

Comfortable bed, was clean but door to bathroom falling off hinge. No counter space. No ice no coffee.

The sink and shower both had hair and soap in them, the bed sheets had hair on them. Something on the night stand that should have been wiped up. It wasn't a deal breaker though. Would stay here again. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

Clean quick place to get sleep while workibg in the area

Whole room was very dirty and smelled of smoke so bad we got headaches.

Very clean. Comfortable room. Great location in the center of everything and 15 minutes from Corning glass museum. Quiet. Restaurants and shopping nearby. Nice staff. Great price!

Clean and quiet. 15 min from Corning Museum.

It was a nice stay. Quiet and very clean.

I would give this hotel a 1/5 stars because (1) poop stain on toilet (2) cracks in bath tub (3) microwave dirty on the inside

Location of the motel is really good. East facing The room smelled of ciggarettes.

Gloria did a great job. On the morning of my last day someone banged on my door at 2:47 am which was alarming. This person started banging on room doors for the next half hour.

It was a nice stay. Quiet and very clean.

First off had trouble getting a card key that worked. Floor didn't look like its been vacuumed or cleaned. The edges hada lot of build up of dirt. Hair on bathroom floor and sink. Bed was very hard and uncomfortable. The only thing convenient was that you could park by your room. I will never go here again.

Motel was just a few minutes from the airport but was peaceful and seemed safe.

Snowing outside and the card key did not work (I had to go back to the office to get it programmed), refrigerator had mold in it (photos upon request), top of the door did not fully close (warped), smoke alarm battery dead (continuous beeping) so I had to take it down since no response from front office.

So im a travel nurse. I had called 3 weeks prior to my stay if they allow early check ins at morning. After my shift. Moat hotels accomadate me. Some dont. The ones that dont, its no big deal. As ill politely go sonewhere else that does. Well, i get told that i can check in early if there is room available. Totally understand if they are sold out. So the day of check in, i get told by said lady who is owner that i cant check in early . I asked her in a nice way why did she tell me i could a few weeks ago. Then she tokd me she does have a room , but i have to pay an extra night. Mind you its 8 am at this time. An extra night? Not when she told me i can check in early .. she insisted no hotels do that. I travel to city to city. Most hotels let me do it. Some dont. Thats why i call ahead of time. I told her econo lodge let me do this. She gave me an attitude and said i can stay at econo lodge then. I told i will ... do i call hotels.com. saying i dont want to get charged for cancelling reservation late. Hotels.com called owner. Kind of smoothed things over and she said she wont charge me an extra night if i come back... so i come back and she had the nerve to tell me i had an attitude when i walked in. I absolutely did not. Only have she told me i can go somewhere else, did i give an attitude . Issue 2- i didnt expect a 10 percent fee sign if booking reservations. I have never paid extra 10 percent fee after booking through hotels.com. ridiculous

The staff was very friendly and nice.

I had a wonderful experience at the Relax Inn Elmira! The location is perfect — just a few minutes from Elmira Airport, which made my travel so convenient. There are food outlets and restaurants nearby, so grabbing a quick bite was never a problem. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and the beds were comfortable — I had some of the best sleep I’ve had while traveling. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I’ll definitely be staying here again on my next trip!

The motel cancelled my reservation without calling me and left me with no place to stay. They gave my reservation away and were "sold out" when I tried to check-in.

Location of the motel is really good. East facing The room smelled of ciggarettes.

All was ok good deal for what it was. You don’t pay 100 and get a 200 dollar room. You get what you pay for. Staff was good and room was ok for a place to sleep. Lots of food choices around. Would stay again.
