My teenage kids and I were in Elmira for a wrestling tournament and needed adjoining rooms. Wendy at the front desk was kind and easy to talk to , readily accommodating my families needs. Rooms were immaculately clean , property was perfectly maintained , and the beds were super comfortable. This place was everything my kids and I needed at a reasonable price- if we are ever in the area again we will absolutely stay here.

Really nice room -- carefully renovated and clean, well laid out, bright with lots of lights, good heating/AC, even a variety of pillows. Quiet because it is set back from the road. Friendly and helpful staff. A motel stay head and shoulders above most of my hotel stays.

This was an older building but completely refurbished. From the roof to the pavement to the interior of the room. And all was redone in a high quality level, not just a good cover-up painting. I travel all around the country, and the new-ness and cleanliness rivaled many newer big brand locations. Comfortable beds, and very, very clean rooms. The grounds are nothing special, but a great, comfortable stay (was there for three nights). Would definitely recommend for the money. Had to drive 20 minutes either way for food, drink, or coffee, but all good. Great stay.

When we arrived, check-in was very easy. I believe it is a family-run establishment. Everyone we spoke with was very pleasant. The room was clean and fresh. Honestly one of the first places I’ve stayed where I was comfortable walking around in my socks. I would stay here again next time I am in town. Only compliant is that they have road bumps at both entrances and they are too steep, had to come to a full stop and really push my car to get over them. But, I’m sure too many people were racing through, forcing the facility to install them.

Very clean and newly renovated. Back from the road so very quiet. We will definitely stay here again! (Didn’t like the crowded/uneven experiences we’ve had at the local larger chain hotels.) Note: They hadn’t installed their new sign yet, as of writing, but we found it easily with map directions. At night “Rodeway Inn” sign was lit. Not a big deal, but the heater thermostat was abrupt at times, and stronger coffee would be welcome.
