“Well done HGI”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

I stayed at this Hilton Garden Inn for three nights on business. I was very impressed with this property for a number of reasons.

The hotel is ideally located about a mile off of the Interstate. The hotel is located within walking distance to an OK mall and a number of free-standing restaurants (Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc.). Within driving distance, you have access to all of the main big box stores (Best Buy, Target, grocery store, etc.). So really anything and everything you would need is convenient when staying at this hotel.

The hotel itself is your typical Hilton Garden Inn. It is a four-story property with on-site food/beverage outlets (the brand's proprietary Great American Grill and the Ernie Davis Lounge), a small pantry area to pick up water or snacks, a complete business center, a nicely-equipped fitness center (two treadmills, an elliptical machine, medicine balls, and a multi-purpose weight machine), as well as a pool and jacuzzi. For those who like to run, make use of the lighted parking lot, adjoining parking lot with the Hampton Inn, and the mall parking lot across the street.

While I did not partake in the dinner offerings, the breakfast buffet at the Great American Grill was excellent. A complete selection of a buffet and made-to-order items are available. HHonors Gold members receive the buffet daily for free; otherwise the buffet costs about $11/person. Offerings include, but are not limited to, bacon, eggs, sausage, breakfast potatoes, waffles, pancakes, omelets, cereals, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, toast, assorted pastries, juice, coffee, and milk. A chef is on-site to prepare anything you could want. Service was prompt and courteous. The Ernie Davis Lounge offers a nice selection of bottled beers, complete with some local IPA choices. Free coffee is offered near the front desk, and in the evenings four varieties of cookies are offered for free. Room service is offered.

The hotel facilities and rooms are clean and well-maintained. The beds are the brand's Garden Sleep System and are very comfortable. The workspace is large enough for a computer and some papers. WiFi and wired Internet access is offered at this property and the speed is fairly fast. A small microwave and refrigerator and part of the in-room amenities.

I give the property credit for offering most all of the TV channels in high definition - this is a rarity in my experience. Additionally, the TV channels are ordered alphabetically which makes it pretty easy to find the channel you want to watch.

While the hotel is very quiet, I appreciated the fact that the in-room HVAC unit's fan could be set to 'on' and stay running to provide background/white noise to help me sleep.

Front desk personnel were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable of the local area.

“Great Hotel in Horseheads”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband and I traveled to Seneca and Cayuga Lake to hit the wine trails. In the past, we've stayed at the Hampton next door, but when they were booked, we decided to give this hotel a try. The lobby, common areas and our room were all very clean and comfortable. We had no complaints. Breakfast is not included in the stay, and we planned on eating elsewhere, but the buffet smelled so good, we decided to stay for breakfast afterall. $11 (I think) for made to order eggs and french toast, plus waffles, pastries, cereal, bagels and much more. And it ll was very good.

Our first preference remains the Hampton, because they have large in-room jacuuzis, but this Hilton Garden Inn will remain a close second.

“acceptable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

This hotel was acceptable even though the a/c did not shut off and ran all night long. It got very cold in the room. Breakfast was the high light of the day. Front desk was helpful and considerate. Just an average hotel not "Hilton " quality like I would have hopped.

“Exactly what you expect in a Hilton Garden Inn”

Standard HGI building, good restaurant, nice rooms with nice furnishings, public areas are all modern, sparkling clean, and really nice.

I've stayed at a number of these properties around the US, they are always good and consistent, this one is no exception.

Near the airport and the highway, very convenient for Elmira and Corning.

“Good Stop Off of Route 17”

Nice alternative very convenient to Route 17 and only about 10 miles from Corning. Staff was friendly and the hotel was well maintained. Only complaint was that the room lighting could be improved as room was a bit dark. The breakfast was very nice. Hotel offered free Internet.
