Superbly clean and managed by a very nice lady. Location is great for day trips to Watkins Glen. Letchworth is also only about 60 miles away. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall, this place was great. I especially liked that our room had a refrigerator, microwave AND a stovetop! My one gripe is the curtains. They need to have double curtain rods so that the sheer curtains can hang close to the window, and the opaque ones can hang in front of them on the side of the room. This is how most hotels/motels help maintain guests’ privacy. This place had one rod with the sheer curtains in the center and the opaque ones on the sides, so it was hard to bring the opaque ones together at night. My partner would have preferred a larger table in the room, but that’s small potatoes to me. The place was clean, and the manager was kind. My partner and I both agree that we would stay here again.

Hidden Gem
Like everyone else said, don’t judge this place by the outside appearance. The rooms are renovated, so it’s a great deal for the price. I had everything that I needed. Lauren is awesome, very friendly and helpful! She deserves a bonus and/or a raise!! I look forward to staying here again!

Good things in small packages.
When I enter a budget motel I expect it to be dank, dusky, dingy, dim, and dark. This place was bright, clean and inviting. It has been newly renovated, and has a few extras like a shaving/beauty mirror, a hairdryer, a desk perfect for laptops, a swivel TV with two remotes, a countertop burner, fridge, micro, dishes and cutlery. It is only an 8 minute drive from Market Street and the Glass Musuem. You won't do better for the money.

Despite its rather unpreposessing exterior appearance, this motel - a very short drive from charming downtown Corning - is fine: clean, secure, with everything a weary traveler needs (except places to eat - but there are many about 7 minutes away in Corning). Nice clean comfortable room, TV, free WiFi, mini kitchen - bring your own coffee. If it just had a full length mirror it would be perfect.

The motel was small and unassuming but Lauren was very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious nicely updated and very clean. The price was affordable. About the only negative was that the pillows were not very comfortable but overall I highly suggest this property when staying in Corning NY

The Gatehouse is a "Mom and Pop" type motel located a few miles down the road from Corning, NY. I arrived a few hour's before the 3 PM check-in time but the owner/manager had no problem providing a clean, quiet room. It's an older property with about a half hour ride back into town for a meal or a visit to the glass museum.

From the outside you’d think you made a wrong choice but the inside of these rooms are way better. Fully remodeled, nice little kitchen with everything you need, bathroom was spacious, bed was super comfy. Was also nice to be able to control our own temp with the ac. Front desk woman named Lauren I think, she was super nice and accommodating. The only complaint I have was some dust around the bathroom sink, and when I dropped something I noticed a bunch of dust under the bed as well. Also we found old moldy bread in one of the cupboards, must of been missed by the cleaners, not a big deal since we only stayed one night, but I could see others having an issue with that. Overall it was a nice stay and I would definitely stay again if we are ever back in the area!!

Lovely room, nicely decorated and updated, clean and comfortable. The exterior of the building is nothing like the inside. Tv had utube and Netflix, great lighting, the bed was new but not to our liking. Windows had no blinds and semi sheer curtains (would have preferred to have full black out or full privacy option. Walls were incredibly thin and we heard everything. Overall lovely room and great stay, could have been excellent with the addition of another window dressing and an included white noise machine. Friendly and helpful owner, very accommodating.

Pleasant Overall
Overall clean place but both of our beds had hair (bedsheets didn't smell unclean though). Owner/management changed the sheets and pillow covers when we requested. Door was a bit tricky to unloock from outside but good instruction for check-in past midnight. Bed was very comfortable. Toilet chain kept falling off every time and we had to put the chain back in. Room was not as renovated as pictures showed online but okay for the season & price.

Our toliet was leaking and there was water on the bathroom floor. The shower had mold inside and the whole bathroom looked like it needed to be updated. I was coming back from a marathon but did not want to shower there. Cobwebs on the ceiling over the sink and flying bugs. Hotel staff was very friendly though and helpful and pleasant. It was an OK place but wouldn't want to spend anytime in the room. TV remotes couldn't figure out how to use them and there was no directions. No phone in the hotel to call anyone.
