Peaceful, clean, lovely surroundings right at the edge of campus beside the library. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient and the art collection on display lends an air of quiet elegance. Very reasonable price and excellent value. (Stay in Alfred-don’t waste your time and money staying by the train tracks in Hornell).

We were very satisfied with our room and furnishings. The room was exceptionally clean and did not have your typical somewhat musty smell. The staff was very courteous and knowledgeable. We even booked our room for next years reunion as we were checking out. We would recommend the Saxon Inn to everyone that settles for nothing less than perfection.

Our daughter is graduating AU and we will miss this place. In addition to the courteous staff and clean facilities it's very convenient to campus and the town of Alfred. We're from a big city, and this is like a mountain retreat.

The Southern Tier is not necessarily known for luxury accomodations, yet one can't go wrong with the Saxon Inn. I stay there multiple times each year when I'm visiting campus. The rooms are clean, large, and comfortable (if slightly outdated, but I understand that they're updating them now). The staff is wonderful, treating each guest as a friend with the... More

As a former Alfred State student, I love the Saxon being so close ( within walking distance) to everything in town ! I return usually twice a year for Sorority functions. The staff is always accommodating and pleasant. The coffee and continental breakfast is great, but we do miss the bagels ! Please bring them back ! The decor is... More

Convenient location located close to both schools in Alfred. Friendly and attentive staff. It is great to step out of your room and get a small breakfast, included in your stay, before heading out. Highly reccommended!

I recently stayed at the Saxon Inn up in Alfred for business, and have been hit with a slight level of disappointment since my days as a student at Alfred. When I started attending Alfred University back in the early 90's... the hotel was brand new and felt like it. The decor was perfect as well as the service. Today...... More

Located on the Alfred University campus and only 2 blocks away from SUNY Alfred, this is the perfect location to be close to the schools. The inn seems newly renovated, rooms are spacious and clean and the breakfast included in the mornings is an added treat. They also offer coffee/cookies in the lobby throughout the day.
