Top Horseheads Hotel Reviews

Meadow Court Inn

8/10 Good

"Meadow Court is a large property on a busy highway leading into Ithaca, but once I closed the door I couldn't hear the traffic. It's a good place to spend the night (s) without spending a lot of money. The beds are clean and comfortable, the bathroom is clean, the shower works, there's hot water & some basic toiletries, but not much room for stuff, and no towel rods. There's a coffeemaker that's bigger than one cupful. The baseboard heat works from a thermostat. The AC unit in the wall works too. There should be instructions in the notebook about the climate controls. There's a fridge & microwave in the room, but no on-site breakfast. The restaurant on the property is closed, but there are other eateries in the suburban neighborhood. I don't know if all the rooms are like mine, but i found it adequate for my needs as a single traveler who is not too fussy."

Arnot Grand Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The hotel and room were very clean. The location was convenient to Corning Glass Museum, Watkins Glen, Ithaca and other finger lake parks. The breakfast included scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, cereal, muffins, bread and English muffins. There was also a waffle maker and packets of oatmeal."

The Hotel Laurel at Seneca

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend vacation getaway. We love this place! It's not the fanciest place on Seneca Lake, but for the price, the upper level balcony view of the lake is so worth staying! We spend hours just sitting and looking out (awesome morning sunrises.) The room is pretty basic but provides what you need. We chose the room with the king bed, very comfortable and plenty of pillows. The shower took a while to get hot, but then it was more than enough. Staff was pleasant and helpful and no breakfast is provided (Restaurant on premises.) Parking is right in front of unit so easy loading and unloading vehicle. Not the first time we stayed here and will not be the last."

Courtyard by Marriott Elmira Horseheads

10/10 Excellent

"Top shelve hotel, nice breakfast but not free. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Longer drive to the finger lakes. We drove to furtherest point north that we planned and tasted are way back to the hotel. I thought the coffee at the situation could have been better. No hot tub as well."
