Stayed overnight on a drive to Maine. Restaurant beneath was closed, had to text to get code to get in. Room was large and clean. Probably slept better without chance of bar noise below.

We had a HUGE room with fireplace overlooking Main Street. Surprisingly quiet considering the location, which puts you right in the middle of the action. Plenty to do (and eat 😊) within walking distance.

This room (#4) was so cute and nostalgic. I love the journal and the entries from previous guests. We were in town for my son's Cornell graduation and it was also glass fest weekend. We enjoyed our stay very much.

21 steps to the second floor was a bit of a climb, but we survived 😁 Great accommodations, large room, nice mattress and furnishings. A bit of confusion checking in, but sorted out quickly. Right in the middle of the historic district.

You have to look past the fact that the rooms are above Beer & Burger restaurant and requires the ability to take 1 flight of stairs. We had room #3 which was amazing! It was actually like having two spacious rooms. We enjoyed the ambience of the fireplace. It was a very comfortable stay. We also enjoyed the restaurant below.

Liked: Staff & service
The room was spacious and somewhat clean. It is more just a room than an Inn, no reception, lobby or lounge. I prefer doublets, but there was a thin sheet as your sleeping cover. Location is perfect, in the heart of Corning, very close to all cafes and restaurants, walking distance to the glass museum.
