Clarion Inn Elmira-Horseheads

Clarion Inn Elmira-Horseheads

8/10 Good
"This place was absolutely disgusting!!Room was filthy and smelled horrible!!Mirrors were dirty along with the bedding!! Wallpaper was ripping off the bathroom walls and dead bugs were in the bathtub and on walls!! Charged me $50.00 for my dog when they said animals were free!! After seeing the room they're was no way we were going to stay there and left!! Talked to the front desk clerk before we left and her only response was I don’t clean the rooms!! I only asked for a refund for my dog and the incidentals and would take the rest up with Expedia who I booked through!! Front desk clerk was horrible but I will say the only positive experience through this mess was the nice manager who I will give a thumbs up too!! Do not stay here!!! BTW you eat the cost and Expedia won’t reimburse you!! This is a hell no!!"

"Location was fantastic. Room deck was nice, as was the common area deck with fire pits. The owners did a good job of modernizing yet maintaining the nostalgia of an older motel."
