We arrived here the day after last summer's tornado - the electricity was just restored as we got there. The room was great and a real bargain. There was a sitting area, small kitchen, and the bedroom was secluded in the back area. The staff was fantastic.

If you want fancy smancy, this isn't the place. If you need clean, functional, roomy living quarters. You found it. This lodge is locally owned and operated. Check in was super easy. The super nice staff stayed at the office waiting for late arrival. The unit we had was perfect as it gave my husband the space he wanted and... More

If you're looking for a hotel with whirlpool tubs, fitness center, continental breakfasts, room service, then this is not the place for you. IF your looking for a great family owned hotel in a small town neighborhood with warm, friendly proprietors, and need a place to rest your head and relax then this is the place. The hotel is not...

The hotel is very old as well as the furnishings. The windowsills in the bedroom were filthy. The musty smell of old carpet permeated everything. Couldnt believe what they charge for this room. I do agree with another reviewer that it is a smokers paradise. There were ashtrays outside of everyroom on the windowsill as well as every stairway.

The Coachman Motor Lodge is a wonderful family-owned place to stay, located in a quiet residential small-town neighborhood. My family and I stay there every time we stop in Elmira NY (once a year, on our way to Keuka Lake). The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, and the price is affordable (they have an AAA discount, too). Each... More

The room was clean. The beds were very comfortable. The staff was pleasant. Unfortunately, someone had smoked in the room excessively before we arrived. What a shame, the smell of the room really ruined this hotel.

The Coachman is great place to stay long term or even just a couple nights. They have made some updates to their furnishings including- new sofas and lazy boy chairs, as well as flat screen wall-mounted tvs. The layout of the rooms is perfectly described in previous reviews so I won't elaborate additionally. They did get rid of the grill... More

We stayed here for a week while waiting for our housing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are very clean, however, you are truly living in 1970. The furnishings, bathroom, carpet, and even some of the cookware is very old. Just an FYI they have some interesting characters that frequent the car wash next door.

We have stayed at The Coachman many times when visiting family and friends in Elmira and it has become our "home away from home". The rooms are always perfectly clean, the beds are excellent, the showers are fantastic, the rates are reasonable and the location is easy to get to. What more do you want? The Coachman is owner-operated, and... More
