Lodging at the Gaffer Inn

It’s perfect for families.

Great rooms right in the center of the Main Street of Corning.

The entrance from the outside had a bit of a boarding house look. It was initially a bit off-putting - ‘Is this where we are staying?’ Once we got inside and up the steep stairs, all was well.

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.

Our second time staying! Love the room and love the area around it. The AC wasn't working too well but it wasn't horrible. We'll always come back

Nice big space clean. Close to the Corning museum and restaurants in the area.

Perfect location, beautifully appointed, very comfortable.

The hall light behind the door is in a weird place and gets banged when the door opens

Loved this place! That said, the "entry" is through the back of the building parking lot, up what appears to be an old fire escape, passing by the restaurant vent fan, on the way up to the second floor. All i kept thinking was, Im in deep trouble now (wife cursing and swearing under her breath). The unmarked door opens to a civilized hallway and closes securely behind you. The room, which is more like a suite, is wonderful! It has a separate bedroom and living room, with a fireplace. The view of Gaffer St. street below is excellent! Very cool art on the walls. Thank goodness the room was as nice as it was, because that entry looked a little sketchy. For the type of old building this is, having a "hotel" above the restaurant, the entry makes complete sense. While the building wasnt designed for this, its a great suite at a great price.

This property was a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay. It had a lot of room to spread out and almost seemed like a studio apartment rather than a hotel room. It was on top of a restaurant called Burgers and Beer. I didn’t feel the same sense of cleanliness there, but the food was good. Next time, I would skip the restaurant.

Easy check in room was great.
