The Inn at the Gaffer Griill is on the second floor, up a steep flight of stairs, through a narrow door marked #60 West Market Street. You "check-in" with the bartender at the Gaffer Grill at #58 who hands you the keys to the room. There is no service to speak of so if you prefer having a concierge or... More

The bar/ restaurant downstairs is under renovation. Daytime noise was as you'd expect--had they bothered to give you a head's up to the situation in advance of arrival. It also resulted in the fireplace being out of service. Supposedly radiant heat was set at 70. I had to call for service when setting the temp control on the wall down... More

OK, we just stayed last night. I had some mixed feeling as I made the reservations. However I went forward as the location is outstanding and the rooms are quite simply exceed some high end trendy hotels. We stayed on a Wednesday night; no live music and not noise isses as all. The most I got was the normal talking... More

Slow service, undercooked food, expensive, average tasting drinks. The place used to be so much better, but the owner seems to be more concerned with chexking out his young, female patrons. Check out the Cellar or Three Birds instead. Much better value, service and food.

As others have said, the rooms are wonderful. Felt like we were in Europe again. However, the stairs weren't the only problem. Several bulbs were burned out which the staff in the bar had trouble replacing. You don't really have anyone to help you if you need anything before lunch time. We tried the internet the first morning and they... More

This was probably the best room we've stayed in. Found it on the internet and read the reviews. I felt like we rented an apartment instead of a room. The town was so quaint. I recommend going Tuesday through Saturday. Many stores aren't open on Sunday and some not on Monday. Sidewalks roll up at night. Was a great trip!

I read all the reviews prior to arriving for our vacation. So I purposely went up the front stairs to our room. We stayed in the Tiffany which was fabulous. It was everything everyone described. The first night we were there we ate that the restaurant and I must say that was the BEST steak I have ever eaten. We... More

OK you have to get past climbing up the fire escape to get to your room, but once you turn the knob and enter your suite you can't find a more luxurious spread!! Book early to get one of their 4 rooms, situated above the Gaffer Grille, very classy. My room was enormous, with king bed, leather couch and sitting... More

Vacancies were scarce for the night we wanted to stay in Corning but my wife found the website of the Inn at Gaffer Grille, called them for information since it showed they only had four units and we're used to motels, not B&B's, 'though this is not a real B&B. We took a chance and booked two rooms, our friends... More

I was bringing my new girlfriend home to meet the parents and to a wedding in the area so I booked the Majestic Room for a 2 night stay (didn't want to subject the new gf to 2 nights in the parents guest bedroom). I grew up and lived in Corning, NY for 18 years. I can confidently say that... More
