Best Western Hotel Grand Victorian Inn, Sayre

Stayed here while sadly in town for a funeral. Aside from one of the beds being broken on one side and the eggs at breakfast leaving something to be desired, it was a quaint, quiet stay. Would come back.

Dear meganhP5194AS, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay at the Best Western Grand Victorian Inn, Sayre, PA.

My husband and I stayed here for a family wedding. Upon checking in, our first impression wasn't a good one! The glass on the entrance doors were dirty. Check in was easy and pleasant and we headed to the elevators. They were also dirty on the outside and the doors were smeared. They have two elevators, but only one was working. I was worried about our room. Our room was very outdated but clean. Also, it was very dark. The lighting was horrible!There was a broken handle on the dresser. Soon it was time for the wedding. The room looked very pretty and the bride looked amazing! Now, the food, it was delicious! I was very pleasantly surprised! We had a very nice time! I am aware that this is a pet friendly hotel and that could account for the smeary doors, but someone needs to stay on top of that!

The hotel in the casino was sold out, so we ventured into the nearby town of Sayre, PA. The hotel was conveniently located next to a highway exit, and was quiet and well staffed. The room was spacious if a tad outdated, but the price made up for that. The from desk staff was polite and helpful, and the breakfast room was quite large; no problem chowing down the ample fare at one of many large tables.

The Best Western in Sayre was beautiful! Very clean, excellent customer service, friendly and willing to do anything that was asked. We had 50 rooms in a group block for my son's wedding. In addition we had the Princess Room for hair and makeup with lunch for the girls. Perfect room and the food was delicious. In addition we ran a tab in the bar and were provided with wrist bands to signify who was on our tab. Pizza was brought in for us in the bar. Every aspect of our weekend was perfect! Thank you

My wife and I decided to stay here again and we were very pleased with everything, like always. Mercedes was super nice to us at check in and she was polite and energetic and that's a great vibe when you check into a hotel. We had a couple of minor issues, but they were resolved in a quick and efficient manner. Our room was very hot when we walked in and we didn't receive any of the wake up calls that we requested, but everything was taken care of. John and Stephen were apologetic and accommodating when we had those issues and definitely made things right for us. That's how it should be at a hotel. The hotel is in a quiet location right off of NY Route 17 and there is no noise from the highway. We will definitely stay here again and again

This Hotel is a bit out dated! Scratched word in the elevator, old busy rugs, older furniture. It is clean however! That is more important to me than the overall decor. The staff was scarce but there is no real complaint about the stay there. Bed was ok as well, not uncomfortable but nothing that makes you want to stay even longer. Tv was small, and choice of channels was limited. We ended up falling asleep to watching a movie on Netflix on our phone! Breakfast had a decent choice.Again, average about what you would expect!

The inn is just off I-86 in a quiet location free of road noise. The breakfast meals are good served up by very nice staff, frankly everyone working at the Inn are very pleasant and go the extra mile to meet your needs. The bar also serves as the onsite restaurant that offers good fairly priced meals and offers craft beer from a local brewery. While not used, the fitness center, hot-tub, and indoor pool make this a good winter stop. The entire hotel is non-smoking.

The rooms are outdated and dark. The furniture is severely worn, scratched and dull. The chair and foot stool were frayed and severely worn alonf witht the drapes and curtain. The room was very dark and the flourescent bulbs were yellowish in color. The fridge and microwave blocked the aisle so you couldn't fulley open the closet door. Because of the blockage you had to turn sideways to get by.

The State Fair in Syracuse, the Balloon Festival in Dansville, Watkins Glen and Senica Lake, and visiting friends in Binghamton and Montrose.

The Best Western in Sayre is a nice and comfortable hotel located right off the highway. The location is great for us, but we wish the hotel would get a facelift/update soon. It appears to be stuck in the 80s and needs a good renovation. Staff is very friendly and we will stay here again as it is close to all we need. It would just make a better impression for all guests if it received an update.

Right off Rte 17 (86). 15 min from Tioga Downs. 50 min from Lakes & wineries. Room was very clean and comfortable. Free breakfast was good. Indoor heated pool and jacuzzi with large workout room. Plenty of parking. Would highly recommend staying here.

Stayed at the Best Western for 2 nights while attending a family reunion. The hotel is very nice.

This was a return visit for work with the church, and this time in Sayre, PA. As before, the room, one which is handicapped accessible, was clean, comfortable and quiet. We did not ask for any room service as we maintained the room ourselves. We did secure needed towels and wash clothes and garbage bags. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast options were wonderful. We had a busy weekend, but our hotel was a great place to rest and relax between activities.

Rooms and common areas are extremely clean. I was impressed at how clean bathroom was. Housekeeping does a fantastic job. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was outstanding and if you're looking for one of those fabulous waffle makers, they have not one, but two. Blueberry and regular batter was available. Staff is very friendly. There's a bar and grill type restaurant in the hotel that does a very nice job. Even though they gave us the wrong room key and I walked in and most likely frightened some poor lady, I'll still give this hotel 5 stars based on the type of experience I'm looking for when I travel.

The outside looks nice. Looks like they are remodeling the front of the building. The inside needs work. Got a bite on the back of my neck. Had to be while I slept didn't have it before. Couldn't get air conditioning control to a moderate temperature. The walls have to be very thin. Heard our neighbors enjoying themselves last night. [email protected] The breakfast buffet wasn't that good On the positive side the front desk ladies were pleasant and helpful. Giving us suggestions on where to eat. Great job ladies.

We had a wonderful time at your Best Western in Sayre! Mercedes and Kacey we're wonderful and took care of us at the front desk. Our grandkids had a BLAST playing racquet ball and swimming at the fitness center where Carol, Patrick and Cindy were AWESOME!! We ate at the restaurant and Trish was great, but we adored Denelle on our 2nd night she was AWESOME with the kids, the CHEF Dylan was AMAZING and prepares DELICIOUS meals the kids ate like never before even asked him for his chicken finger recipe. ?? Our room was clean and tidy thanks to Levon! Our breakfasts were just as DELICIOUS and the ladies did such a wonderful job keeping everything so neat and filled up thanks to Janet, Sandy and Machelle. We couldn't have had a better time thanks to everyone for making our stay so ENJOYABLE! We will definitely be back!!! Kimberlee and George Williamson Springwater,NY

We stayed 2 nights during Memorial Day weekend, undoubtedly one of our best stay. Hotel itself is clean, well appointed, room we stayed had fridge and microwave which worked well for us, but I guess it's the people who makes the difference. The staff is very nice and helpful, particularly the servers at the breakfast were very prompt in refilling the food, addressing individual needs and above all carrying lovely smile all the time. A real value for money.

I feel most hotels aren't as nice in person as they are in photos. But this one holds up to the photos. The hotel has a nice gym: free weights, elliptical machines, treadmills, etc. and even a racquetball court and saunas. The pool and hot tub are nice and the temperatures were where they are supposed to be. The breakfast included donuts, cereals,fruits, bagels, etc. plus scrambled eggs and bacon. The room was clean, but beds were a little rough. Overall, for $87 total, I thought this hotel was a great deal!

We stayed at the hotel from Friday to Sunday for a friends wedding and upgraded to a Jacuzzi suite for a very modest charge. The hotel is very well maintained and in a quiet setting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We very enjoyed our stay. The pool is especially nice, it's heated with a hot tub and great views of the grounds. While is we didn't use the fitness center it looked very nice and many other guest were taking advantage of the wide selection of equipment. While the menu is limited, we were presently surprised how good the food was at the Nite Train lounge and reasonably priced the drinks were.

Likewise, we are just 40-minutes from Binghamton, NY and the home of SUNY Binghamton. The Corning Museum of Glass is just 40-minutes away in Corning, NY. Plus, we are just one exit away from Tioga Downs Casino. We hope that you will stay with us again. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald,GM

My wife and I had a pleasant experience at this hotel. The Hotel has big parking, but it has potholes in it. The staff was friendly. The food was average, and the breakfast was the same every morning with a small variety. The room was clean and tidy, and they have excellent housekeeping service. The Internet is free and works well. For the money, one pays they offer good services.

Ac didn't work.. cigarette smoke came in window from outside. Being the Ac didn't work, we opened the window to get the cool evening breeze. Only to have the bar patrons and the hotel staff smoking below us, we were on the2nd floor, cigarette smoke come into our room. When I mentioned it, only thing I got, “I make note of it”. Very disappointed.

Dear William C, Thank you for providing us with your distinct insight on your most recent stay. It does allow us to take stock of our strengths and identify any perceived weakness. I do appreciate your frustration that you were unable to bring your room temperature down quickly to your desired temperature preference. However, our air conditioner units in the guest rooms all work fine. The air conditioners can only bring the room temperature so fast to a very cool 65-degrees. I hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a superior experience. But if you choose to camp out it a tent instead, we wish you the best. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

My unpleasant experience started at the entrance doorway, where there were several people smoking next to the door. Next, the musty stale smell as I entered the lobby was also unsettling. My room had the same musty stale smoke odor. When I checked the bed linens with an ultraviolet light the result was disgusting. There were numerous body fluid stains all around the bed skirt on both beds and one of the bedspreads had numerous fluid stains. If the reservation had not been pre-paid by my employer I would have immediately left the property and stayed at the Hampton Inn nearby. My previous experiences with Best Western have been mixed with one very positive in Haifa Israel and one bad in Des Moines Iowa. I will do anything within my control not to stay at another Best Western.

Dear tbill84701, It is unfortunate that you felt our hotel was not in the same condition as the Best Western Haifa, Israel or a Hampton Inn; we strive to provide a clean, friendly, and welcoming environment. Our guests have told us that they found our hotel to be clean, comfortable, spacious and in immaculate condition. Our goal here at the Best Western Grand Victorian Inn is to provide every guest with superior service, from a friendly and warm greeting that our staff offers to each guest as they walk through our front door, to the polite and pleasant manner with which our staff answers phone calls and checks guests in and out. We offer each guest a sincere “thank you and safe travels” as they leave to go on their way. Our friendly housekeeping staff does a great job at keeping our guestrooms and the hotel, clean and fresh. I do thank you for providing us with your distinct perception of the hotel and the service that you received during your most recent stay. It does allow us to take stock in our strengths and identify any perceived weakness. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

The hotel has a very friendly staff, the rooms both guest rooms and banquet rooms were nice and well kept. Liz and the other girl with the grey/purple hair from the front desk were very informative and helpful when we needed things. The one housekeeper was super friendly and had such an upbeat personality I wish I would have caught her name so I could mention her by name. Wish more hotels would have staff like this one Though things in the hotel were great, it was a little odd about the front doors, I went out late at night and when I came back in I noticed the doors were not locked nor did you need your key to get back in. While traveling and staying in different types of hotels and knowing Night Auditors from other hotels and being a former hotel employee myself, I know there is not a lot of other staff on hand overnight so not have at least a key to enter was interesting.

Very neat, clean establishment. Room, bed, etc. well appointed and comfortable. Was surprised with the size of the bathroom - lots of room to move around, extra space for storage of items, etc. The only problem/complaint I had was the fact that the front doors do not open automatically. Can make it difficult when pushing a valet card or carrying luggage.

No complaints except just don't eat at the restaurant as it is overpriced and not good. It is the one that is in the bar area. Other than the food in the bar area, everything else was superior!! There are lots of local eateries to choose from or you can also get delivery to your hotel room.

I've stayed at this hotel quite a few times and it's a gem. I go to Toronto about 4 times a year and this stop is usually about halfway for me. The price is fair. The staff is superb. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. The property is quiet and far enough away from the highway where you don't ever hear road noise. Even though there aren't many dining and shopping options that close to the hotel, Horseheads is about 30 minutes west of here and there are a lot more options, but it's definitely worth the commute there and back to stay here. This hotel is definitely excellent and worth every cent. The one thing I will mention that might be confusing to people who are unfamiliar with the area is that the hotel is actually in Pennsylvania, but it's off of New York Route 17 at Exit 61. The route dips in to Pennsylvania for about 2 minutes and that's where the hotel is. But like I said earlier, this hotel can't be beat. I will return again and again

Great hotel, friendly staff enjoyed our time there. Breakfast had a good variety and the area was clean and stocked. Room had a couple of repairs done that we could see but didn't affect our stay. The room was quite large with a separate room that had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and sink. Hotel had a quiet time so catching up on sleep was not a problem.

A nice hotel in a really old building, decor reflects old Victorian era. Rooms are clean, but be prepared that the building is a bit old, so the smell of old wood and stuff will be there. Nice lobby, room and mirrors; if you are looking for some ghostly stuff, this hotel can help u make the perfect video!

My daughter and I were at this facility prior to my surgery at Robert Packard hospital. The desk clerks were very kind upon learning I was having surgery , wishing me well.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Sayre, PA. I was passing through on a business trip, I got in around 1am and was greeted by Liz at the front counter. She was very friendly, polite and professional. I booked a king room and the bed was huge. The room itself is large too. Bathroom was newer minus the shower which had a more retro look. The shower functioned properly and had great temperature and water pressure. Everything was clean, which is really all I ask for. The included breakfast is pretty basic, it did offer bacon which was a nice option. The eggs weren't very appealing however if I had some salsa to add to it, they probably would have been better. I would stay here again if I have the pleasure of passing through.

We had a breakfast brunch after my grandson's Baptism for 24 people on 2/18/18. We had a private room, food was excellent, and the wait staff (Debbie) was very attentive without being intrusive. I have had 3 other events like this at the Best Western Victorian Inn and everything was perfect.

A last minute decision to stay here due to a death in the family. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my needs. The hotel itself had everything I could ask for - nice bar/lounge, fitness center (with racketball & basketball courts, indoor pool, full weight room and sauna in the locker room), very clean, spacious room and a quiet environment.

Dont know if stars are based on amenities but this is not a 3 star property...I would say 2 and 2.5 at the most. Aging, needs modification and would be nice before you book that the pool and whirlpool arent in service. Instead there was a sign at check in. They upgraded us to a jacuzzi room but the water pressure in the tubs there are so weak that the water started coolingmoff by the time i filled the tub high enough and also because of that if you expect a nice shower forget it...complained one other time in another room and nothing was done. Mattress was too squishy too

It was a very nice place for the price. They have a restaurant bar in the lobby, allowing you to stay in and not having to drive around looking for a place to eat.

Really felt like someone beamed us back to the Titanic's staterooms and not in a good way. Lighting was poor, decor was void minus a mirror, the carpeting made our allergies go nuts, and the mattress made it nearly impossible to sleep. Although quiet and clean, we didn't care for this hotel.

Overall value was amazing. Best hotel in the area. We were traveling through the area on the way to family, and admittedly, there are no nice hotels in this region. This one was a real surprise. Nice exterior and nice lobby. The staff was friendly and the hot breakfast good, given there is not a really nice diner around. Would definitely stay there again.

I needed a place to stay for one night on my way home for the holiday as I was attending a Christmas party and and not want to risk driving. Best Western Grand Victorian Inn Sayre provided the perfect stopover.

This hotel is very nice when you first walk in. The staff is polite. Our room was very clean. You can tell housekeeping pays attention to detail. The breakfast was great and the room for it was very large. We were on the top floor and it was perfectly quiet. The older hotels seem to be more sound proof.

Solid hotel for our particular stay for local wrestling tournament. Parents/Coaches took advantage of on site restaurant while kids used pool and workout facilities. Nothing fancy but enough to justify good rates.

I needed a hotel near the hospital and this is only a mile away. The staff was very friendly, very nice rooms for a reasonable cost especially if you are a AAA member. I got a great night sleep and a very good breakfast at no charge. I highly recommend this hotel if you will be in Sayre, PA.

Dear Bgl513, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay. We are thrilled that you found our guest rooms to be very clean, comfortable and the staff to friendly. The staff takes great pride in providing superior service to every guest every time. Our complimentary breakfast buffet is the best in the area. Many our guests are folks who are visiting the Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital to see friends or family in the hospital. We also have a lot of guests who chose to stay with us the night before or after an outpatient procedure. So, they won't have to travel long before or after their procedure. If you are in our area again and have the need for a hotel, we hope you will chose to stay with us again. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

I am usually a person who prefers to stay at Hampton Inn, but the HI close to the hospital was sold out. I decided to try The Grand Victorian/Best Western in Sayre. I was pleasantly surprised. While it is not fancy, the hotel is comfortable and clean. The staff members are kind and helpful. I would certainly stay again in the future.

Stayed here Thanksgiving night. Had a late check in and the staff was ready for me when I arrived, they were great! The room was well appointed and spacious, most importantly, it was, along with the bathroom, very clean. The bed was quite comfortable and the room was quiet. The included breakfast was well presented and offered good variety. The dining room was comfortable, bright and clean. The room rate was very competitive. When in the area this hotel will be my first choice.

It sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and all the amenities (Full Fitness Center that has an indoor heated pool, racquetball courts and more, Lounge/Restaurant, and Complimentary Breakfast) that our hotel has to offer.

Ithaca, NY the heart of the NYS Finger Lakes Wine Region, and the home of Cornell University and Ithaca College is a short 40-minute scenic drive north. Likewise, we are just 40 minutes from Binghamton, NY and the home of SUNY Binghamton and the Corning Museum of Glass is just 40 minutes away in Corning, NY. Plus, we are just one exit away from Tioga Downs Casino. We hope you will stay with us the next time you planning to visit the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Everything was decent, nothing exceptional, but worth the money. Food was ok in the restaurant, probably would eat somewhere else if I stay there again. Room was clean, heat was out of control in the room I was in.

Dear jonhC2943RD, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Our staff takes great pride in providing superior service to every guest every time. To that end, when you checked out and told the Front Desk Clerk that your room was too warm for you; she immediately informed our Maintenance Staff. After a carefully examination of the unit they discover the only problem with the unit was that the thermostat was set to 88 degrees. Once that was adjusted to a normal room temperature (72 degrees) the cooled down. After a couple of days of monitoring the room temperature to ensure that was the only issue, we returned the room to service. Our Housekeeping staff does a tremendous job making sure to return all thermostats to normal temperature after each guest has left. Unfortunately, we must have missed the thermostat in that room. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you and we hope that you will choose to stay with us again the next time you are in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

The staff was so happy and friendly. I received a courtesy call shortly after arriving in the room. The room was spacious and very clean. The jacuzzi was wonderful. The bed and pillows were the best. I wanted to buy the pillow. The TV worked well. There was a directory and a guide on the TV so you could navigate the TV. FABULOUS!

The Sayre Best Western rooms are large, comfortable, clean, and well equipped. The value of our stay was excellent. Location is also excellent. The front desk attendants were friendly, polite, helpful, and truly happy to help us. We only had one complaint. The breakfast was poor. The attendant was nowhere to be found. The coffee was cold. The garbage cans were full. Everything else at the hotel was superior.

We are pleased with our stay. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was good. Indoor pool and hot tub was clean and relaxing. Easy access from the hyway and plenty of parking. This hotel should be listed as a Best Western Premier property.

The only issue was the room phone, it did not work, the replacement did not work, so the wake up call in the morning was ineffective. Maybe part of daily room service should include a check that the phone works correctly!

My wife and I have stayed here for 5 years now, each time for about a week. The hotel is well maintained and the rooms are comfortable. The staff is about as good as they get. The breakfast is well done and hot with eggs, breakfast meat, cereal, waffles and lots of extras. Checking in and out was easy and quick. The swimming pool is very relaxing and the have a spa attached.

Surprisingly nice for the very reasonable price I paid. The exterior garden is really beautiful. Nice décor inside if a little shabby in places. Very nice and helpful staff. They got me a rollaway bed at the last minute and gave me a new key (after checking my ID) when I left my key in the room. Clean, comfortable room. Breakfast average. Would definitely stay there again.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Best Western a few weeks ago. Not only did we have the reception there, we also had a block of rooms booked for family. Everyone loved their rooms, breakfast, and friendly staff. The reception was great! We worked with Tracy, and she made everything as easy as possible. Our guests are still talking about the food, and the decorations. With such a big family, the Best Western was the perfect place to host such a large guest list. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our wedding! Thank you to all the staff at BW, including kitchen, housekeeping, fitness, and front desk! (My dog also LOVED that he got treats. Yay for pet-friendly!)

Decent accommodations. Definitely not a corporate hotel as there were tons of contractors smoking outside the main lobby. Had a mysterious $30 charge on my credit card, but Discover took care of it. There is a really no other chain to stay at in the area unless you want to pay big bucks at the Hampton.

I would definately stay here again and highly recommend!!!! Love the decor and the look of the "old,luxurious" hotel feel. Definately an " adult hotel" not one where the newly of age come and party. The double beds are not huge, but very very comfortable. Breakfast was good, the pool was very nice but did not like the fact that you had to sign a towel out and in at the pool. Also the housekeeping staff might want to take a look behind the beds, and vacuum there. We found sunflower seeds on the floor, and had been there for a while. No huge issues, but simple things that can be taken care of.

The BWGV has been a favorite stay over for us for many years. The staff is friendly all through the hotel from the front desk to the lounge. The hotel has a noise curfew that helps keep it quiet come bedtime even when they have large groups. Beds are very comfortable!

The room was grungy. Yellow lights and grimy carpets. The bathroom saved the room because it was good and clean but the rest of the room needs improvement. Its time for the hotel to be updated. The breakfast though was well done, very nice room bright and cheery and good variety.

My parents and I stayed here for one night while we were in town. I think they could use new mattresses, but it was clean and the staff is very friendly. We ate at the train stop lounge which didn't have an extensive menu, but was quite tasty. I appreciated the continental breakfast. Make your own waffles, a yogurt topping bar, eggs, sausage, little donuts, bagels, fresh fruit. Definitely nicer than the run of the mill continental breakfasts I've had other places.

The hotel was fine and very busy at check in. It needs some major updates and some serious landscaping. The trees in the parking lot were in serious needs of pruning. The breakfast was the typical cold eggs and some mystery meat. You could hardly see in the bathroom mirror to put on makeup or to shave due to lack of lights. The mattress was hard and uncomfortable.

Very average kind hotel with nothing very attractive. The biggest problem was there was no smile at any of staff it looks like they are not interested at all. During check in or check out not even courtesy to say hello or welcome. Breakfast was big chaos none of the staff member seems to be interested in helping. Though it's quite place but still I would suggest to look for another property at same price.

Dear Ajay, I do thank you for providing us with your distinct perception on the service that you received during your most recent stay. It does allow us to take stock our strengths and identify any perceived weakness. If there is one thing I do know, our staff is not disinterested with their work or our guests and the service they provide to our guests is friendly and a bulk of our guests have told us. Our goal here at the Grand Victorian Inn is to provide every guest with superior service. From a friendly and warm greeting that our staff offers to each guest as the walk thru our front door. To the polite and pleasant manner that our staff answers phone calls and checks guest in and out, even while some of those guests choose to verbally abuse the Guest Service Agent that is helping them. To the sincere, “thank you and safe travels” our staff offers each guest as the leave to go on their way Our complimentary breakfast that includes a make your own waffle station that has assorted toppings to add to your waffle, scrambled eggs, breakfast meat (bacon or sausage), assorted muffins and bread, assorted cereals, three fresh fruits and oatmeal station that has several assorted toppings to add to your oatmeal. A yogurt station that also has toppings you can add to make your yogurt of choice even more delightful. Plus, we serve coffee, tea, two types of juices, whole, 2% and almond milk. The breakfast was extremely busy Labor Day weekend due our full house each night. I'm sorry that you felt the Breakfast Attendants did not refill all that we have too offer for breakfast fast enough. The rest of our guests that weekend were raving about how quickly the food was being restocked. I hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a superior experience. But if you choose to stay elsewhere, we wish you the best.

My husband and I stayed here on our way to Letchworth State Park. We weren't expecting much for the price and we were very happily surprised. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The fitness area is basically a true fitness center, not just a treadmill and weights. We were impressed that there were two racquetball courts, as this is something we often enjoy when vacationing, but don't find in hotels, just full-scale resorts. The pool and hot tub looked clean and nice although we didn't have the opportunity to use them. The room was well-appointed, attractive and clean. The bathroom was a nice size, as was the room. Will definitely make it a point to come back.

Not knowing ahead of time where I'd pull off for the night until moments prior I found this gem. I was looking for another one. Great looking lobby I noticed right away! Due to this I didn't think it would be in my budget. The friendly lady working have me a price that was good and I choose to stay vs find the cheaper one I was searching for. With the pool and hottub being down for the day I was there I got a room with a jet tub. Wow!! What a great room! Lots of space, very clean and well kept. Extremly quiet room from and wonderful bed. The tub and bathroom were both great. The halls were very sharp looking. And the room for breakfast was huge and well done. Nice selections and good quality!

Colton and I just wanted to say thank you to all of the incredible employees at the Best Western Grand Victorian Inn. You truly helped our day run smoothly and everything was absolutely perfect. Your staff has an attention to detail that left us feeling super comfortable and I knew we were in good hands. From the months of preparation, to the rehearsal dinner, to the wedding, you were amazing. Thank you for "holding our hands" and helping to guide us through the planning process. We couldn't have pulled it off so wonderfully without Tracy Sutton and the fantastic staff. We have received nothing but compliments from every single guest that attended our special day. Our rooms were superb, very clean, with fluffy soft pillows that you just melt right into. We loved everything about our experience! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! Mr. and Mrs. Lawton!

Decent hotel with an excellent breakfast included. Good value for the price. Nice stop on the way out to western New York. On-site restaurant and bar available for weary travelers. Pet-friendly and apparently a popular location for events, since a wedding rehearsal was in progress!

Dear 790nancyo, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. Many of our guests have told us that they find us to be a convenient stop (exit 61 on I-86) on their way to western NY from NYC or the east coast. We hope that we will see you can soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We were trying to book a hotel in nearby Ithaca, NY. As it turned out, Cornell University was having its moving in weekend when we were going for a tour at Ithaca College on August 17th and 18th. This Best Western was a blessing in disguise, not only significantly cheaper, $75/night directly through Best Westerns sight, hotels right in Ithaca avg $150-200/night. It was a relatively short ride to Ithaca, about 35-40 minutes, which we knew when booking the hotel. Because of this we were able to stay two nights instead of one, and were able to visit the college for a second day of tours. It was a very nice hotel for the area, rooms were nice, beds comfortable, A/C worked very well, nice pool hot tub and fitness center. Oh I almost forgot, the Continental Breakfast was excellent and amazing, among the choices for food; make your own waffles, bagels, toast, muffins, cereal, milk, juice, fruit, eggs, sausage, and outstanding coffee. This hotel is right near the highway, nearby was a gas station/mini mart, as well as 3-4 restaurants. We didn't try the restaurant/pub inside the hotel, but it gets great reviews here on TripAdvisor. It really out stay enjoyable as well as affordable.

Beds were comfortable, room was clean, breakfast was very good for a continental, pool and fitness center close at 9p on the dot! But if you are an early bird, it opens at 6a. Lounge food is basically a bar menu, but service was great. Front desk was a bit overwhelmed with only 1 person on a weekend. Overall, it was a good stay.

The reservation process and welcome when we arrived was easy, pleasant and customer-friendly - we called the hotel directly - Penny was awesome! Room, pool, hot tub, full breakfast, distance to other shops and attractions, - all within 10 miles - some 1-2 miles. Gas and small store directly across street and parking at hotel was great. Location one short turn off the main highway. Would stay there anytime!

We were there for 7 days, everyone was very nice and helpful, from the front desk, to housekeeping to the restaurant. We were greeted when we arrived and every time we left the hotel. The rooms were very clean, beds were comfortable. It was close to Highway 17 and I-86. Due to the flooding the bridge going east was washed out. If people are interested in the Tioga Casino I-86 can get you there. We had cool weather 40's to low 70's due to the resent rains.

When I checked out at 5 am I asked Liz if she had any coffee made and she asked if I would like cream and sugar.

The room was a good value at $71 and had an excellent breakfast, among the best we've seen. Having said that the facility is clearly beyond the hey-day of its prime. Exterior of building and parking lot are in need of maintenance and upkeep. Interior is worn and chair in room had big tear due to wear. This would be easy to fix but for whatever reason is not a concern of BW parent or the local owner. Still, all in all, worth the price.

I stayed for five nights. The place was very clean and well kept. I enjoyed the use of the pool and fitness center. Service was above and beyond. Breakfast was served from 6-10am everyday so you could sleep-in and still catch breakfast...awesome. I had no problem sleeping. The bed was wonderful. Service was great!!!

I was away on business and brought my best friend along for the trip. This hotel was the right price range (under $100), the rooms were large, clean and comfortable, and the pool and hot tub were clean and updated. Even better, as it was a weeknight, we were the only ones there! Great value for the money.

We stayed one night to break up a trip from Buffalo to Englewood NJ. The woman at the front desk 10pm was pleasant and provided effortless check in; and out (express check out). The room was clean and comfortable (rm in the 400's) not near the ice machine. Glad to have had the refrigerator. The pool was closed for a late night swim but we did enjoy it in the morning before a full breakfast with something for everyone. We really wanted to stay on our return trip but we went a different route.

I was leaving the Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital late Sunday night and needed a place for a single night. Driving back to Route 17 I came across the Grand Victorian Inn and it fit the bill. Nice room with very affordable rate. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was very good.

Dear wmcleve, Thank you for your quick review of your recent stay. A number of our guests are folks who are visiting the Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital to see friends or family in the hospital. We also have a lot of guests who chose to stay with us the night before or after an outpatient procedure. So, they won't have to travel long before or after their procedure. If you are in our area again and have the need for a hotel, I hope you will chose to stay with us again. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Traveling from Michigan to Long Island, we took the scenic route on I-86. This Best Western had decent pricing and located perfectly for an overnight. We were encouraged by reviews and have another to add that is positive. When you check out and reflect while going up the road about your stay, we found no negatives. This hotel has a warm staff, clean comfortable rooms, nicely decorated facility, and a very good breakfast to jump start the day. Whatever management and staff are doing, keep it up, you have a winner.

This is an excellent hotel; however, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think that this place might have been something else or maybe it was just another brand name hotel and Best Western bought it. It might have always been a Best Western, though, but there is something "different" about it. It's not necessarily a bad "difference" either. Anyway, one thing for sure is that you can't beat the room prices. I looked at prices in Elmira, which weren't as bad as compared to room prices in Horseheads, Corning, or Painted Post. The prices in those place are quite high. But not only were the prices high in those three places, most if not all of the hotels in those three places were booked up as well - as in no rooms available this week. I think it may be because of the race track opening at Watkins Glen, but I am not sure. But getting back to this hotel. It was well worth the price even though it was about 35 miles from some of the tourist attractions that we wanted to visit. That distance isn't bad when most of it is along I-86. The hotel has quite a few amenities - an indoor heated swimming pool, a complimentary, decent help yourself breakfast buffet (which had all the usual items, and the items that needed to be fresh were indeed fresh), an on-site, reasonably priced, and decent restaurant/bar that had what I would say a very limited menu, 2 elevators, and a pretty well stocked fitness center that unbelievably had 2 racquetball courts one of which doubles as a single basketball court. My sons and I took advantage of the racquetball court. The fitness center has a name - Express Fitness that seems to have non-hotel guests using. There is also a tuxedo rental business which seemed a bit odd - Rockwells. And there were several meeting/banquet rooms. The hotel grounds are nicely maintained. That is, of course, except for the unused delapitated outdoor basketball court that was overgrown with weeds and small trees. It doesn't look like it had been used in over 15 years, maybe longer. Oh, but there is ample parking. Check-in was fast and easy and all the front desk personnel were friendly and each greeted us every time we past the front desk. And since the hotel is pet friendly we brought our 2 dogs. At only $10/pet/day, it was the cheapest pet fee that I have ever encountered. Upon entering the hotel with our dogs, the front desk person offered many treats for our 4 legged friends. That was a nice touch. The room itself is not the largest that we have stayed in, but it was adequate. The double beds seemed to be too old and are in need of being replaced. Queen sized beds would be a positive addition. The refrigerator came in handy, but it was noisy, and there was also a microwave. The flat screen TV was pretty good, too. We brought our own pillows as we usually do, but theirs were ok. And the a/c worked just great and wasn't too noisy. The bathroom was a good size, too, however either the exhaust fan was either not working or there wasn't one, we could not tell. The water pressure in the shower was perfect and the water came out hot when I needed it to be hot. We also ate in the restaurant the 1st night, and I must say that even though the bartender doubled as the waitress, she did an excellent job. Upon check-in we received a 10% discount coupon for the restaurant for each day of our stay. Even though the menu didn't have a lot of choices, the items that we chose were quite delicious. And it looked like the bar patrons were enjoying themselves too. The hallways were quiet the 1st 3 nights as there weren't many people staying at the hotel. The last night, however, was a little different with people singing Happy Birthday just after midnight. Thankfully the hotel enforces an 11pm quiet time, so that proved to be sufficient. The last amenity that I'd like to mention is the indoor heated pool. It is a decent sized pool, and there is a separate jacuzzi. We only used the pool one night as the other evenings seemed to be too crowded. The one odd thing about the pool was its location. To get to it, you had the take the elevator to the basement, walk through part of the fitness center, and then walk up a flight of stairs. This might be a bit of a problem for the handicapped person. You also had to check in at the fitness desk before using the pool. Check out was fast and friendly which was no surprise. After talking with the front desk clerks upon check-out, we learned that the hotel is used for multiple gatherings – weddings, proms, etc. Maybe that was the “difference” that I spoke about earlier. All in all, we were very satisfied with this hotel and we would stay in the hotel if we were to be in the area again.

Dear Joe D, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your most recent stay with us. It sounds like you were able to enjoy a lot of the amenities (Full Fitness Center that has an indoor heated pool, racquetball courts and more, Lounge/Restaurant, and Complimentary Breakfast) that our hotel has to offer. You are right about our location. We are right off route 17/I-86 at exit 61. Which puts us 40 minutes south of Ithaca, NY, the heart of the NYS Finger Lakes Wine Region, and the home of Cornell University and Ithaca College. Likewise, we are just 40 minutes from Binghamton, NY and the home of SUNY Binghamton and 40 minutes from the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY and Watkins Glen and Elmira, NY are just a short 40 minutes drive away. We are also just one exit from Tioga Downs Casino. We hope you will stay with us the next time you are in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Had a nice stay at this hotel. Visiting area for a graduation and this hotel was close to where our family lives. The breakfast was good with a fair amount of choices.

I would rank this hotel high if it were not for the difficulty of access to the pool and hot tub. For a handicap person or someone who does not like running up and down stairs to change or go to the bathroom, this pool and hot tub is located in a horrible location. I booked this room to celebrate our 45th anniversary for the hot tub! I am 64 and have had two knee replacements and I cannot climb up two flights of stairs easily. I also would not like to have to change downstairs and climb upstairs to get to the hot tub and then climb down them again in a wet suit to change while having someone sitting at a desk watching my difficulty.

Was nice to get away for a night, but the romance package was a bit of a bust. They were out of champagne (didn't really care but was part of package) and the chocolates they gave us had expired. Room was fairly clean, but mattress and linens were a bit under the expectations for what we paid for the room. There is a window between the bathroom and bedroom which is odd. Breakfast was quite good, except for cheap paper plates. Staff was professional and helpful.

Second year which we have stayed here to go to the IMSA race at Watkins Glen International raceway. It is about a 40 minute drive to the racetrack but the hotel is much less expensive than the hotels closer to the track. There are other races at the track including NASCAR and IndyCar where this would be a less expensive place to stay. Free breakfast is great and their parking lot is quite large so I could find safe parking for my sports car. We plan to stay here everytime we go the the racetrack.

Dear Kathleen J, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your most recent stay with us. It sounds like you could enjoy a few of the amenities (on-site Lounge/Restaurant and the area's best complimentary breakfast buffet) that our hotel has to offer. We hope you will stay with us the next time you are passing thru our area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

A little dated, elevators a little sketchy, and the pool was awkward to get to, but overall a decent overnight stay. The pool was warm, the fitness center was larger than expected, and the breakfast had a good variety. The room was very clean and the staff was friendly and very helpful. Great price & great value.

Dear Caitlyn L, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your most recent stay with us. I'm happy to hear that you found our guest rooms to clean, comfortable and spacious. Many of our guests, like yourself are surprised at the size of our Fitness Center. It is not your ordinary hotel Fitness Center. Ours has a large heated indoor pool, a whirlpool, two racquetball courts, treadmills, and huge weight room with over a dozen pieces of equipment. The complimentary breakfast buffet we offer is the best in the area. I hope you will stay with us again, soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

I stayed at this hotel for one night to break up a long drive from upstate NY to Williamsburg, VA. Front desk was very friendly and helpful. This hotel is pretty large for a Best Western "roadside" hotel - because honestly I could not see any other reason to spend a lot of time in Sayre, PA. I chose this hotel for a number of reasons - the $88 rate, free breakfast, the gym and the onsite restaurant. Most hotel gyms are equipped with a couple of cardio machines and maybe some dumb bells. The gym at this Best Western is fully stocked with free weights, a full rack of dumb bells, weight machines and cardio equipment. Honestly, I think it's a gym open to the public but hotel guests can use it for free. The one downside to the gym - the equipment looks like it was donated from an abandoned prison - all of it has paint falling off and a lot of rust. While this did not affect my workout - it's definitely very old and worn equipment. I like staying in these type of hotels for one or two nighters because of the free breakfast - I don't need to pay $30 for eggs, toast and cereal. But what was nice at this Best Western - the restaurant on site for dinner. I didn't want to get fast food or order a pizza. So I went to the restaurant, had a seat at the bar and ordered a burger, with a side salad and a nice touch they have a selection of local craft beers on tap - bartender even gave me the remote to one of the TV's so I could choose what to watch while eating. Overall the hotel is traditionally decorated - a little old but did not feel worn. Hotel was clean, room had a fridge and a microwave - I think the mattress could use updating - it was soft but not pillow top mattress soft - more like - I've seen my share of guests over the years soft. If I were to ever stay in Sayre, PA again (highly doubtful) I'd probably return to this Best Western.

Dear Mandart727, Thank you taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We may be a bit in the middle of nowhere but we are just minutes from everywhere. Our convenient location, right of exit 61 on I-86 on the New York State, Pennsylvania border, puts us just 40 minutes south of Ithaca, NY. The heart of the NYS Finger Lakes Wine Region, and the home of Cornell University and Ithaca College. Likewise, we are just 40 minutes from Binghamton, NY and the home of SUNY Binghamton and the Greater Binghamton Airport. The Corning Museum of Glass is just 40 minutes away in Corning, NY and the Elmira/Corning Regional Airport and Elmira are just a short 25 minutes away. Plus, we are just one exit away from Tioga Downs Casino. So, the next time you are traveling thru our area I hope you will stay with us a little longer and see just how close we are to everything. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

The employees were very nice, the breakfast was good and the room was nice and clean. The bar area was good and the drinks were yummy. We were only there for 1 night but slept comfortably and had a good breakfast to start our day.

Comfortable, value, a little dated. It is easy to get to the hotel, staff is welcoming and polite. Many amenities, such as pool, fitness room, Racquet ball courts (indoor) and bar/restaurant. Didn't get served at bar, so we went out to eat. Good place for cost. Comfortable and good nights sleep.

We hope you will continue to stop and see us every time you are passing thru the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We had a wonderful stay. The room as clean and the hotel had a outstanding breakfast and a fitness center that included a racquetball court. Highly recommend if you are in the area. Just a one day drive from NYC.

Room was clean and quite. We stayed one night for a wedding. Lobby was clean, did not use any admenties or stay for breakfast. Would stay there again if in the area. We had a room in the back on the top floor near the staiwell. Al ittle pricy for just one night to sleep

Nice hotel, just minutes off the highway. Staff was very friendly and accommodating as we checked in right up to check out. Pool and fitness area is located on the ground floor away from the guest rooms. Breakfast is included and is better than average for most "free continental breakfasts". The kids enjoyed the make your own waffles. Price is reasonable. Rooms are clean. Great quick resting stop for the money

Dear SharleneDias, Thank you for taking time to write a brief review on your recent stay. It sounds like you and your family had a great time. Our complimentary breakfast that includes a make your own waffle station that has assorted toppings to add to your waffle, is the best in the area. The full Fitness Center that includes a heated indoor pool and two racquetball courts is not your normal hotel gym. I hope you will stay with us again, soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Friendly, attentive service. Clean, comfortable accommodations. Great amenities - large, complimentary breakfast, swimming pool and Jacuzzi, mini gym with weights and treadmills, business center. I will go back again and again.

To the clean, spacious and comfortable guestrooms that will keep guests coming back. We hope we will see you soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Stayed at a Best Western recently in Vinton LA and found it pleasant. Coming through on business I decided to try the chain again so I booked the Grand Victorian. I pulled up and immediately questioned if i wanted to stay there. Parking lot empty and entrance was badly in need of repair with visible mold. After checking online for a room at the Hampton Inn which was booked I decided to go in and check this hotel out. First thing I noticed when I walked into the lobby other than a darkly lit space was a mildew smell. Still I pressed on and checked in. Counter staff wasn't un pleasant but also at the same time not very welcoming either. I went to my room via the dirty elevator and walked down the dark hall like a scene from the Shining. Room wasn't dirty but very worn and old. Gloomy like the rest of the hotel. I sat on the bed and booked a room down the street at the comfort inn. I walked out immediately and didn't even ask for a refund. I wanted out. I don't know what the other reviewers are used to in a hotel but they are way off for this property. Maybe it was nice 20 years ago but that time has long left this place.

Dear JeffbN449HF, It is unfortunate that you felt our hotel was not in the same condition as the hotel in Louisiana; we strive to provide a clean, friendly, and welcoming environment. Our guests have told us that they found our hotel to be clean, comfortable, spacious and in immaculate condition. Our goal here at the BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn is to provide every guest with superior service, from a friendly and warm greeting that our staff offers to each guest as they walk through our front door, to the polite and pleasant manner with which our staff answers phone calls and checks guests in and out. We offer each guest a sincere “thank you and safe travels” as they leave to go on their way. Our friendly housekeeping staff does a great job at keeping our guestrooms and the hotel, clean and fresh. I do thank you for providing us with your distinct perception of the hotel and the service that you received during your most recent stay. It does allow us to take stock in our strengths and identify any perceived weakness. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We stayed at the Best Western in Sayre, Pennsylvania while our granddaughters played in a softball tournament in Horseheads. Not the most convenient since the fields were 20-25 minutes away. This is not the fault of the hotel, just a quick comment. The room was clean, the breakfast was good and the room was very large, which isn't always the case. The fitness room was well stocked with equipment. The staff was very accommodating for us. We asked to go into the meeting room to be able to play cards and they had no problem with that request. The hotel was conveniently located to many restaurant option, fast food and sit down. Other options, i.e., Dunkin Donuts was very close.

Dear SBCoach37, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay with us. I was happy hear that you had a great stay. Our location right off I-86/Rt. 17(NY Southern Tier Expressway) at exit 61 makes it convenient for many of guests to get to many of the local area attractions, such as the NY & PA State Parks, Tioga Downs Casino, the NYS Finger Lakes Region area or to Horseheads for a softball tournament. Our clean, comfortable and spacious guest rooms are another reason why many of our guests return time and time again to stay with us. I hope you will stay with us again the next time you have a softball tournament in our area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

It was a nice, short stay at the hotel. We had a great time because even though it is an old building, our room is nice, clean and we have all the amenities we needed. Free WiFi, good hot breakfast, has microwave in room, and we were able to walk around the area. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, a big grocery store and Variety stores. Highly recommended!

Been on several occasions and was never disappointed. Comfortable rooms. Plenty of parking (free). A complementary breakfast buffet. A bar right in the hotel with good drinks and food. Gym is good. Pool and whirlpool were a great way to unwind at the end of the day. We'll be back again in a few months!

The staff were very friendly and courteous. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. We had everything we needed. The location was great, close to Tioga Downs. Breakfast in the morning was good, offered something for everyone but ran out of waffle batter early and also the sweets that were offered. The only complaint I had, is that the chlorine smell from the pool, assaulted you when you came in the front door and it was strong in the bar/restaurant area. When we asked, they said that you get to the pool thru the bar/restaurant. I was impressed of how clean the hotel was, from the outside, to the lobby, to the room. I would definitely stay in the hotel again.

Met friends here and enjoyed a convenient mid way rendezvous. This hotel is easy to find and convenient to the interstate. The registration clerk was accommodating in our requests for rooms close to the elevator. Both rooms appeared to have been remodeled in the not too distant past, and were clean and fresh. We enjoyed dinner in the inhouse lounge which with entries that were surprisingly good for hotel fare. Included breakfast was typical and adequate for a day starter. Although we did not take advantage of, the fitness facilities appeared to be significant. I extended an additional day and found the hotel to be within a reasonable drive of the winery attractions at Watkins Glen, New York as well as the Tioga Downs gaming establishment. All in all, a pleasant stay.

Overall, we were very happy with our stay (on two separate nights) at the Grand Victorian Inn. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well equipped. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was, as with most hotels, sadly lacking in protein - but served in the most pleasant hotel breakfast room we've ever seen. Backing onto the beautiful gardens, we watched the flowers grow and the rabbits play. Beautiful! However, because two members of my party of four are slightly handicapped, we are mindful of a facility's accessible features. This hotel was disappointing in three areas. 1. The closest handicap parking space was too far from the door for my companions to walk. 2. The front doors are manual, not automatic. At times, they were difficult for them to manage. 3. Our biggest complaint related to the pool/hot tub access. This was a holiday for us and, being lovers of a good dunk in a hot tub, we chose this hotel specifically for its advertised hot tub. On arrival, we were informed that the pool and hot tub were located in the basement. Fine. We took the elevator from our rooms to the basement and entered the fitness area. The gentleman on duty informed us that the pool and hot tub were back up a full and long flight of metal stairs. We were agog! When I asked about handicap access, he said we'd have to go back upstairs by elevator and walk through the lobby and the public restaurant in order to reach the pool. We were dumbfounded. There is no way elderly and handicapped people will be comfortable walking through a public restaurant in their bathing suits. We said thanks, but no thanks. When we mentioned this experience to a couple of other guests the next morning, they - neither handicapped nor elderly - agreed with us completely, saying they wouldn't use that kind of access either. For this reason, I plan to look for another hotel should we pass through Sayre again.

I'm pleased to say that over the next two to three years our property is going to be going thru some renovations.

I hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with our superior service. But if you chose to stay else where, I understand.

The staff was welcoming and very friendly one of them even took a selfie with our puppy! Our puppy was just 2 months old and needed to be brought out often , by the end of our stay, it seemed like the entire staff knew us and our puppy by name, because they saw us so much. The chamber maids we very kind as well. We would see them in hall and they would ask us how we were and if anything was needed. Highly recommend!

I was very, very well-treated at the BWGVI. It was immaculately clean. All the appliances in my room worked just fine. I was able to get any room supplies replenished easily. I enjoyed the fitness center's pool very much. When I asked for a luggage trolley "in the next 15 or so," it arrived at my room in 5 minutes. I could have been better treated, or more pleased!

We needed a getaway weekend and stayed here. The hotel is older but very well maintained and very clean. The first room we were given someone smoked in and the girl at the desk changed it very quickly and was very sorry about it. We had a room with a balcony and it was perfect for our really nice spring weather. The hotel is right next to a major highway and we were worried about noise but once the door was closed it was very quiet. We did not use the pool but it was a really nice pool area and exercise facility. The breakfast room was very large and very nice with large windows looking into the back yard, very nice for the morning. Any of the staff we saw or spoke to was very friendly. I would stay again if in this area.

We offer a sincere, “thank you and safe travels” to each guest as he/she leaves in the hopes that each one will choose to visit us again. I do thank you for providing us with your distinct perception on the service that you received during your most recent stay; it allows us to take stock in our strengths and identify any perceived weakness.

Overall, a clean, accommodating environment. Staff is friendly and helpful. Have stayed many times and it is relatively consistent on providing patrons with a pleasant experience. Confortable beds, traditional full breakfast options and even more amenities I have not taken advantage of.

I hope the next time you enjoy our hospitality, you will have a chance to use our full Fitness Center that has 2 racquetball courts and a heated indoor pool. I hope you will stay with us again real soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

rooms were nice. food should be avoided in the restaurant. no accomodation if you are a smoker. no pool. Restaurant and bar service was slow. The food was likely of the frozen entre type. highly recommend finding some other place to eat. sorry no ideas on that as I got stuck eating 2 nights there and they were equally poor.

We have spent many a weekend at the hotel. The rooms are nice, neat and very clean. They have a nice restaurant which serves a nice breakfast. The staff is courteous and understanding if theirs an issue. If you get a chance, enjoy the bar which has nice entertainment on weekends.

As I've said being a trucker I never know where I'm going to end up. But, thanks to the web I have found more Best Westerns along my way and plan on returning to them when ever I am in that area. I enjoyed the chair and the foot stool. After a long day behind the wheel, That is a very nice way to relax and get re energized for the next day.

Room was nice, nothing too fancy. Neighboring rooms could be heard and the doors slamming was very loud. Beds were very squeaky and you could feel the springs when moving at all. Bathroom was very nice and clean. Breakfast was nice but the staff was very busy and had difficulty keeping up with the demands of those using the breakfast area. Had a nice variety of food to choose from. Had a variety of activities for you to use : basketball, racketball,pool,sauna,etc.

Called the front desk to inquire, if towels were available at the pool?, as some establishments wish you to keep room towels in the room. If you take you room towels to pool then you do not have towels for in your room latter. I was told yes, towels are available at the pool. At the pool no towels could be found, went to nearby fitness center and was provided 2 (two) skimpy (dish/ hand towels). one for self and one for spouse. It was obvious that we were going to use the pool, as we were dressed in swimming attire. Asked for an additional towel due to small size and got strange look from male staff worker siting behind desk, as if I was bothering him. Another hand towel was then provided. Enjoyed the nice swim in the pool, but that changed when drying of with a rough/ course hand towel. I should have taken the room towel. Other guest had brought towels from home, maybe they knew from previous experiences and others had some from their rooms I believe. Also barking dog in adjacent room during the overnight hours. Hotel not at capacity so why but other guests next to room with pets?

Dear G9539UKstevenc, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent visit. I'm sorry that you felt the pool towels that the Fitness Center provided you were small and rough.

I hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a superior experience. Sincerely. Stephen Berwald, GM

Everything about my stay ranged from good to average with the exception of the Lounge/Grill. BAD EVERYTHING. Over an hour to get food and it was the worst burger I ever had. Warm beer...staffed by a single person ...management of this operation, non-existent.

The hotel itself was ok. Clean, quiet, but nothing special. Th ebreakfast was ok, but again nothing to look forward to. But the food in the restaurant was extremely good value. The special Tacco salad kept me eating for a good half hour, long enough to sample a couple of the excellent draft beers

On August 13,2016 I was in a double wedding and reception at the Grand Victorian. While we had booked months in advance, the hotel overbooked for the same day. On the night prior, the event planner tried to force us into having the reception for 200 guests in the small lobby. Guests checking in,elevators open and closing, patrons wandering out from the bar adjacent to the lobby all free to interrupt. When I refused, the event planner become upset and somewhat sarcastic. The next day the wedding was beautiful. It went well and I have no complaints about the ceremony. The reception,however is a different story. First the soda was flat. No big deal, except the event planner at first became snarky and claimed that she couldn't solve the problem. Next, I was served alcohol when she was told repeatedly that I take meds and alcohol could have a fatal effect. Then she,the event planner was rude to guests, kept coming up to the bridal party and complaining about things that guests were bringing to her attention. There were other issues but I feel I have made my case for NOT patronizing the Grand Victorian. A couple days later I spoke with the general manager. I explained why I was disappointed. He brought his event planner in and she denied every single issue. In fact she was snarky during that meeting, and he,the general manager seemed very sceptical that anything I said was true. After two meetings in two days, they offered to refund each couple $250. I felt insulted, since we spent nearly $10,000 for the event, the hotel booked over a dozen rooms and they made several thousand dollars in the bar from the guests if our wedding.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Brutus S, Congratulations, once again on your nuptials. The gusty choice you made to override the two brides, decision to move the ceremony in from the 95+ degree weather outside, into our elegant lobby, by moving the ceremony into Black Diamond Room made for a more intimate ceremony. While it is true that during the reception our soda system broke down, we did remedy this situation in no time by purchasing cans of soda from a local grocery store nearby, to serve to the guests. I apologize that you felt that the Events Planner was rude to your guests in anyway. I do thank you for providing us with your distinct perception on the service that you received from us during the reception and afterwards during our meetings. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Arrived late after driving for eight plus hours and was greeted by friendly staff. Quick check in and no hassles getting to our room. Front office staff mentioned lounge was still open so we could get some food. Had a great supper with hardly no wait time. Very clean room and bed was comfortable. Would stay there again any day.

Right off the highway, easy to find, loads of parking ~ no hassles getting here... Clean comfortable room, spacious - wifi, desk and table.

Several event rooms, and a lovely backyard gazebo area for a wedding. Free breakfast is a nice plus, Belgian waffle maker, juices, lots of food choices.

We enjoyed a 1 night stay at the BW Grand Victorian in Sayre PA in early September. The hotel is very big, and is very welcoming and cozy. Room was large (with a king bed), as was the bathroom, and was spotlessly clean! Good in-room lighting and very fast internet connection. Buffet breakfast (included in room rate) was a mix of hot and cold items. Dinner at on-site restaurant/bar was very good, with a wide range of selections. You receive a 10% discount coupon to the restaurant, which is a nice feature. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Any time we are driving through upstate NY, we will make a detour to stay at this hotel in Sayre. Quiet and clean, the hotel is also incredibly reasonable in price. Free breakfast, free internet, free parking. Best Western "gets it".

I extensively checked the web for the Corning, NY area for a hotel. I thought the Best Western Grand Victorian is a beautiful hotel and a great value. The room was very comfortable, clean, quiet, and everything worked. The breakfast was a great selection and very well presented. The pool was a great size. The hot tub was plenty warm. I thought the fitness center was one of the best equipped for a hotel gym. I hope to return for another stay at this hotel.

This hotel is one of the cleanest I've been to in a long time. The price was very reasonable, the staff very friendly, the full breakfast was delicious, the pool and jacuzzi were well kept.

We noticed some things were not at their best. Older lighting in the hallways and such, but the rest of the facility was great, and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. Quiet rooms. Even the AC was not too loud. The breakfast area is very large, the food was great. Scrambled eggs and sausage one day, bacon the next, plus the standards. Cereal, yogurt, pastries. When in the area I will stay again

Good property for family or business. Service staff may need to pay more attention to the details--especially concerning refreshing room for next night stay. It was difficult to tell whether our beds had been made; the staff had the entire morning and afternoon to complete the task. The facility was not even at half capacity--hopefully just a bad day.

Dear I523KEgaryc, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. I happy that you found our hotel to be a good hotel for family or business. I'm sorry that you felt that your room was not refreshed the next day. Our Housekeeping staff is top notch when it comes to ensuring that every room is kept in the best possible condition. The most likely reason that you were unable to tell if you room was serviced, might have been because had made the bed(s) yourself prior to leaving or you had belongs laid out in the room. In which case, our staff would have respected your privacy by leaving you belongs alone and worked around them, doing their best not to disturb them. We hope that you will chose to stay with us the next time you are in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Was a lovely hotel, staff very friendly. ( they offer a 10% discount to customers, if you're dining at the lounge, only if you remember to mention and show the discount slip, that they slip into your key card envelope, if you do not see the discount slip, no one will remind you of the fact that you should have gotten one for dining in the lounge. ) We found ours in our key card envelope after the fact. Mentioning this to the staff person at the front desk the next morning, I was told I should have presented it the night before, I would have if I had seen it, or knew that it was there for my use. The whole time we dined, no one in the lounge mentioned to us about this discount slip....not even when we had our meal placed on our room #. It's a very nice hotel, but, don't expect them to honor their offers. Breakfast is kind of skimpy too.

The room was very clean, staff was knowledgeable of the area and very helpful, excellent complimentary breakfast, will definitely stay here again. We stayed in a king suite with jacuzzi , but the only thing that I can see as a downfall was the window between the bathroom and the rest of the room. I wish there was a curtain that you can close so the person who is in the room can't see in the shower whIle someone else is in there showering.

Dear Pat G, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay. Many of our guests echo your your comments. We hope that you will stay with us again the next time you are traveling to the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Staff was very attentive and helpful at all hours of day and night. Great breakfast served by great servers. Room was clean and recently renovated (I think). Towels thick and fluffy. Bedding just right amount of softness. Sheets crisp and clean.. Linens and towels had faint bleach smell.. just right.

Dear oblivious_drifter, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay with us. I very pleased that you found our hotel to be an excellent choice for your visit. I hope that the next time you are in the area you will stay with us again. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Excellent stay, exterior could use a face-lift but the rooms were clean, beds were spotless and the bathroom was clean and those are the only things that really matter to me. Not a whole lot of stores and restaurants in the immediate area but for some, that's not a concern.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Anthony R, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay. The entire staff was happy to hear that you had an excellent stay. I'm happy to say that we are at the beginning of a landscaping project that will revitalize the hotel's exterior appearance. I hope the next time you visit our area that you will choose to stay with us. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

In your showers, it was nice to see floor grabbers so a person won't slip. The breakfast food was great and the comfort of the chair in my room was very nice. Being a trucker I never know where I'm going to end up. But, if I'm in the area I'll stop in again in the future.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Brian M, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. Many trucker's, like yourself find us to be a great stop for the night because we are right off exit 61 on route I-86, have a large parking lot for tractor trailer trucks and a great complementary breakfast buffet. We hope you will stay with us again, the next time you are traveling thru the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Good service. Clean room. I previously lived in Sayre when the Hotel was built. It was the first quality / new facility in the area. Over the years it has had its ups and downs. Currently is in very good condition, the staff very courteous and nice amenities. The one area they have not paid attention to is the grounds. The plantings are dying, the basketball court is in ruins etc. While these affect the exterior appearance, they are not representative of what is inside. I would recommend staying at the hotel.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear 237davidg, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. Our staff was happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. I'm happy to say that we are currently working on a landscaping project that will address the basketball court and they rest of the grounds. We hope you will stay with us again the next time you are in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

This hotel was exceptionally clean, well maintained, and was a great price. The hotel staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was pleasant! The hotel was very nicely decorated, and the parking area is quite large. They offer so many amenities, and it was a pleasure to stay there

We were exhausted from driving and happened across this little gem... Pool, hot tub, sauna, full breakfast and nice restaurant... Clean, friendly, with every amenity that you can expect for $100 ... A winner in my book, would definitely stay here again if the need arises

Dear DMSMaven2012, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. We maybe out in a rural area but we are approximately halfway between Niagara Falls and NYC on I-86/Rt.17 at exit 61. We hope you will stay with us again the next time you a traveling thru the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

A great end to a long day. This hotel off of the I86 is clean and modern. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The included breakfast was good and the dining area was huge and clean. From what I heard from the other visitors in the elevator the fitness center and pool are wonderful also. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Larry K, Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay. Our location right off exit 61 on I-86 makes us an ideal stop for many of our guests.

Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

very pet friendly hotel, location is good, Service is excellent I would recommend it. Hotel has bar and restaurant on location. Rooms are clean, big bathrooms. breakfast is not that great its okay. I had my dog with me the staff was very friendly.

I found that our room was comfortable, clean and spacious. The staff at BW Sayre was helpful, personable and professional. The only negative for me was the small, soft pillows. Glad I packed my pillow from home to use later in the trip when we weren't staying at a hotel. We did not make use of the fitness center. We had the buffet breakfast, variety of food was good, scrambled eggs were a little watery - I wondered if they used powdered eggs.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Marilyn C, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. Our scrambled eggs here at the BEST WESTERN are fresh eggs. Our cooks crack fresh eggs everyday and prepare them. I'm sorry that the eggs you had from the breakfast buffet were a little watery. I hope that the next time you are in the area you will choose to stay with us again. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

This hotel has a beautiful campus and very nice accommodations. When traveling from Michigan to the northeast coast we enjoy using I86 through New York state rather than the NY Thruway. The road dips down into Pennsylvania for a short time, and this is where Sayre is. The town is nice and has many places for eating and shopping. The rooms are very nice and clean, and the staff is always helpful and friendly. Breakfast is typical of hotel offerings, but adequate and nicely presented.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Barbara R, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. Many of our guests have told us that they find us to be a convenient stop (exit 61 on I-86) on their way to NYC, Niagara Falls or the northeast coast. We hope that we will see you can soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Located directly off of the NY Southern Tier and half way between our home and final destination. Good value with breakfast included. Have used this facility twice and was happy with the selection. If you decide to stay at this facility I would also recommend the The Grille and Train Station casual dining located close to this facility.

Dear Craig L, Thank you for taking the time to write a review telling us about your most recent stay.

Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Rooms were nice but furniture out dated! Breakfast wasn't as nice as other places I have stayed but it was ok. Staff was nice and helpful! Local to family and close to things to do. AC works ?? nice lobby. Nice pool and hot tub. Quiet and peaceful. Nice deck but it's kinda hot so didn't get to enjoy.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Kimberly, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. I'm happy that you found our hotel to be nice and suitable for your visit to see family. Our location is just minutes away from many local area attractions, such as NY & PA State Parks, Tioga Downs Casino, and the NYS Finger Lakes Region area. We hope you will stay with us again when you come back to the area to visit family. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We picked Sayre as a halfway stop to Gettysburg. The Best Western is a good chain so we picked it online and arrived in afternoon. Wow! our expectations were blown away, it was so nice. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Lisa at the front desk gave us instructions to find the WalMart...we are on motorcycles so didn't want to get lost. Our room was very well appointed and very clean...Bonnie was our maid. We felt the room price was reasonable. There was a pool (warm) and a fitness room but we didn't have time to try either. We went to dinner in this hotel and loved the penne alfredo, and the special that night of chicken in gravy over biscuits. This hotel is easy to find on your GPS and there is a gas station right across from hotel entrance - important for cycles with a five gallon tank! Our dining waitress was also the bartender that night and still took good care of us - Laura. We then booked the following Sunday for our return trip home.

Dear Elaine B, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. Our entire staff was overwhelmed by your glowing review. Our staff takes great pride in their work by providing superior service to each and every guest. We look forward to staying with us again on your next trip thru our area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

The hotel is great in terms of location and service. We were traveling from Niagara to NY and stayed here for a night on our way to NY. The hotel staffs are extremely nice and professional. We were greeted nicely both at check in and check out. The hotel is very close to the freeway and there is a 24hr convenient store right across from the hotel. So the location is great.The hotel appeared to be an old one. So the rooms reflect that. However, everything was clean and well maintained. The breakfast quality could be improved though.

Fantastic place to stay. Clean. Spacious. The name Grand Victorian is just that. A grand place to stay. Convienent to Ithaca and Cornell University with a nice drive in a scenic country side. Would definitely stay here again. All I can say about the breakfast offering..."BACON!!!" Nothing.like having bacon as part of the free breakfast offering.

Dear Ken S, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. We are happy to here that you enjoyed your stay.

Our complimentary breakfast is the best one in the area. We hope you will choose to stay with us again the next time you are in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Our overnight stay at BW Grand Victorian Inn was a surprise. The staff was very helpful, the room clean and comfortable, the breakfast filling. The pool and exercise room was great for a break in a road trip. The nearby town had several restaurants and the Hotel has one as well. We explored and ate in town. Would stay here again.

Dear T0nyP, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent overnight stay. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and found or hotel to be comfortable and clean.

We hope you will visit us again the next time you are in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We were going to a race weekend at Watkins Glen Raceway and everything very near were quite expensive. The Best Western Victorian in Sayre, PA is about 45 minutes from the raceway and the savings was well worth the commuting to Watkins Glen. The free breakfast was a hot breakfast and was very good. The breakfast workers were very friendly and kept everything stocked well. Large parking lot with good lighting so felt comfortable parking my vette there. The front desk staff were very friendly. We never had any problems in our two days so were very pleased with our stay.

Dear John D, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay. We are pleased to hear that you had a wonderful stay. I hope you had the chance to enjoy one of our flavored waffles from the complementary breakfast buffet. The next time your traveling to Watkins Glen or anywhere else in the area, we hope you will stay with us again. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Everything was excellent, but you promise your guests 3 free movie channels, than you need to be up front on way this service is no longer available. Don't make promises that you cannot keep. The breakfast presentation was better than some other Best Western hotels.

Clean and comfortable. Just off the highway, but the room was quiet. Fridge and microwave in the room, and close to grocery store. Easy 45-50 minute drive to Watkin's Glen. Did not use the pool and fitness center. Breakfast was OK (eggs, meat and waffles in addition to the usual cold options). My second stay here when visiting The Glen.

We loved our stay at the Best Western Grand Victorian Inn in Sayre, Pennsylvania. The room was beautiful, although I have to say that if you are wheelchair bound, the handicapped room we were in didn't see wheelchair-friendly to me. The bed was so comfy I fell right asleep. The biggest complaint I have is their lack of luggage racks which hindered our checkout. However, the staff was on top of it as soon as they realized our problem and they went up to our room, helped bring everything down to the lobby and then out to the car. I would not hesitate returning to this hotel. In fact, I look forward to it!

Dear Marilyn, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay. One of our goals here at the BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn is to provide superior service to every guest every time.

I recently stayed when traveling for a baseball tournament. The room was very clean and the desk accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was standard. The hotel offered many facilities.

If you are looking to be treated as a second-class citizen then you come to the right place. Employees would rather talk on the phone than talk to a person standing in front of them both at check-in and check out.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear PapaDan K, If there is one thing I do know, there is nothing second class about our guests or the service we provide to our guests and a bulk of our guests have told us. Our goal here at the BEST WESTERN is to provide every guest with superior service, whether that guest is on the phone or talking to us face to face. From a friendly and warm greeting that our staff offers to each guest as the walk thru our front door. To the polite and pleasant manner that our staff answers phone calls and checks guest in and out, even while some of those guests choose to verbally abuse the Guest Service Agent that is helping them. To the sincere, “thank you and safe travels” our staff offers each guest as the leave to go on their way. I do thank you for providing us with your distinct perception on the service that you received during your most recent stay. It does allow us to take stock our strengths and identify any perceived weakness. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

After going to a memorial service for our Uncle, we came back to the hotel for something to eat, and the ten of us waited at least one hour and 45 minutes to get our food to eat. And then to make things worse, the waitresses came back and said "Didn't you get your food yet"? Hello, no plates on the table would have been a good clue to that, Enough said!!!

Dear Alan S, Thank you taking the time to tell us about your recent stay with us. I'm sorry that it took so long for the waitress to bring your order to you.

I do hope the next time you are in the area you will choose to stay. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

I'm on the road a lot. I never know where I'm going to end up. But, I do know where the good hotels are from the bad ones. The room was real nice. I was put up on the top floor so, I was not awaken by any noises. Which is good for us drivers. The breakfast was good. Nice quiet area. Plus it is nice having parking area for the big truck.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Dear Brian, Thank you for taking the time to lets us know about your recent stay. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of our spacious parking lot to park your big truck. I'm sure the easy on, off access that we enjoy right off I-86/Rt.17 made it easy for you to get on your way the next morning after a bite from our complimentary breakfast. I hope we see you the next time you are passing thru our area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Handsome, well maintained public areas and guest rooms. Top quality mattress and bedding. Bathrooms sparkle and the room was super clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. All of the room amenities associated with a superior class hotel are included. 100% smoke free and the windows open. Breakfast bar (included in room price) was abundant and good. Guests have use of a very well equipped health club with free weights, resistance machines, a cardio work out area, racquetball court, sauna and steam bath. Nice sized heated indoor pool equipped with a handicap lift device. The hotel is over 35 years old and was originally called the Guthrie Inn. The one negative was the heating/cooling unit. The digital temperature display wasn't very accurate in heating mode. I had to set the temp at 88 degrees before the unit turned on.

I had cancer surgery at Robert Packer Hospital and the Best Western offered a beautiful and convenient place for my wife to stay rather than to have to make the one hour trip back and forth to home. The hot continental breakfast that was included was also a nice entity as it saved my wife from having to go out to eat.

I stayed at this hotel to attend a family reunion and I wish I hadn't. The lobby area is presentable but the rooms are terrible. The one we were in was very old, outdated décor and the musty smell was off putting. They had a microwave near the bed, which is something unheard of (better off not having one at all) so the appliance's red light would be on my face when I turned off the light. I had to get up and unplug or I would not sleep. Not a good value.

In my opinion, this was one of the cleanest hotels my wife and I have ever been to! Not the newest, but clean everywhere. The staff was a pleasure to deal with and we had no problems at all.

Dear Russ S, Thank you for your kind review of your recent stay. I hope you had a chance to enjoy a flavored waffle from our breakfast buffet. It is one our newest additions to our complimentary breakfast buffet. We hope you will stay with us again, soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We were there this past weekend for a banquet & decided to stay over. First, this hotel is pet friendly, so we were able to bring our dog with us. The property is situated right off the Sayre exit on 17W. Easy on; Easy off. Easy check in process. Ample parking. Nice area to walk the dogs. Good pool -- fun for the kids. Very nice breakfast! Room was large & bathroom was a good size. Plenty of room to put the dog crate right by the bed. Only complaint (reason for not giving this hotel a 5 rating) was that the bed was probably the most uncomfortable bed we've ever slept in. Absolutely no back support whatsoever. Great banquet rooms and food was very good. There is a nice bar at the hotel as well.

Dear kja63, Thank you for your wonderful review and comments about your recent stay with us. I'm glad you were able to bring your dog along with you, as I know how hard it is to be away from our pets that we consider part of our families. My staff and I hope we will see you again, soon. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Decided to stop here after visiting the Casino, should have drove the hour back home. Went to there dinning room, yuk ! You gotta be kidding me. My wife ordered loaded nacho's with beef. They brought her nacho chips with cheese covered with steak um's. Disgusting. The bartender left to go out and smoke so we never got a refill or service of any kind. Went to the hotel needing machine to buy here a Diet Coke to wash the terrible taste out. And the machine is empty. Decided to go to room and make coffee. Yep you guessed it they didn't have any regular coffee. Only decaf. Yuk again. Room is somewhat nice but I'm afraid to go to breakfast in the morning. Not what I'm used to from a Best western hotel. Will probably not be returning anytime in the future. Should have drove home.

My wife and I love using this hotel for an occasional getaway. The restaurant is not packed and the rooms are always clean. Sometime soon, if we go there and actually leave the room, we might even try the pool out. There are a couple of other establishments you can walk to for variety, or you can easily drive to dozens of places if you want to. We always have a great time when we go there.

Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

One of the nicest hotels we have stayed in as to how clean it was. The staff was very friendly. The location was close to the venue we wanted to go to. The rooms are well maintained. The free breakfast is a nice touch. A good variety of food for young and old.

Any time I'm passing through Sayre PA, I only stay here...this hotel is just awesome. It's always quiet, the rooms are clean and the beds are very comfy. I highly recommend it! I also was glad to have a hot breakfast before heading out on a really cold day. There were eggs and sausage in addition to other items at the breakfast they offer.

Dear Alura, Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your experience. I'm glad that you had an awesome stay at our hotel and enjoyed your complimentary breakfast. Did you try get a chance to try one of our new flavored waffles for breakfast? We hope you will stay with us again, the next time your in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

I have traveled to this area for over 30 years and remember when this property was considered high end. The property is a little dated but well maintained and the staff was very helpful and friendly.The rooms had twin beds and I would have preferred queen, but I did know this beforehand. The price was very reasonable and I would stay there again. It is very conveniently located to the highway and centrally located to the three towns in the area. Overall a nice experience.

Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We stay 1 night on the way from Toronto to New York. It was really good deal. The hotel close to the high way, but very quite. The room and the bathroom were super clean. The breakfast was excellent and the lady at the reception was very nice and professional.

My husband and I stayed at this property on our way home from visiting family. Everything was perfect- our room was one of the cleanest I have seen, and the staff couldn't have been nicer! We will definitely be returning!

Jennifer, Thank you, for your wonderful review. Our staff takes great pride in making sure every guest has a clean room and exceptional service. We look forward to serving you the next time you stay with us. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

My wife and I were looking for a nice romantic getaway, and we chose this hotel. We were surprised to find out we could upgrade to a package and get our dinners paid for, so we jumped at the opportunity. We had a great time and we will definitely be back, and might try one of the other special packages, or the Romantic Getaway again.

Stephen B, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Jedediah, Thank you for choosing our hotel for your getaway. We are thrilled you enjoyed your Romantic Getaway Package. On your next visit you might enjoy out Wine Lover's or Stay & Play Casino Package. We look for to you staying with us again. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Our proximity to the Guthrie Clinic/Robert Packer Hospital and Tioga Downs Casino make us an ideal place to stay. We hope you will stay with us again the next time you are in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

Stayed here when a family member was transferred to the nearby hospital due to critical medical condition. My daughter booked for us as we were directed from hospital to hospital in transit. The hotel where we had originally booked was very gracious in refunding our prior booking due to medical emergency. Another family member asked where we were staying and were very surprised at the reasonable cost of staying in such a nice hotel- so were we. The hotel was lovely, the staff professional & gracious, and, although we were not able to use some of the facilities due to our schedule- I walked through the hotel to "see what we were missing"- nice hotel. Breakfast had good variety, well prepared & neatly presented. The young woman kept everything spotless- with a genuine smile. The hours for breakfast were more extensive than at other hotels where we have stayed- our late hours at the hospital made us so appreciative of the extra freedom. We did not return to the hotel in time to use the restaurant- but the discount provided, proximity and the great smells emanating from the restaurant would certainly call us in on another visit. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Gary, I'm happy that you were able to relax and and enjoy some of the wonderful things our hotel and great staff have to offer. I hope all is well with your family member that was hospitalized. Thank you for your review. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald GM

Nothing remarkable nor bad to say about this hotel. We did sleep very good the first two nights we were here. Breakfast is pretty typical continental, but the waffle area was nice. Did not have a chance to go to the pool. Internet connection was so-so. Easy accessibility to 86E&W.

Lou, Thanks for taking the time to tell us about your staff. I'm glad that you enjoyed our Belgian Waffle Station at our complementary breakfast buffet. You are correct when you stated that we have easy access to Interstate 86 and we are just minutes from Tioga Downs Casino. We hope you will stay with us again, the next time your in the area. Sincerely, Stephen Berwald, GM

We were meeting family at the Corning Museum of Glass so I wanted a hotel close by with a pool for kids and hot tub for me. This is right off the highway and you can't beat the price for what you get (pool, hot tub, free breakfast with hot options beyond cereal, yogurt, and fruit). We will stay there again as it's a great halfway point to meet family from Western NY.

Heidi, Thank you for wonderful feedback on your stay with us. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon. Stephen Berwald, GM

Traveling home from Gettysburg on a motorcycle, we were ready to pay whatever we had to and accept the room available. Good room, good price, and a good dinner at the in house restaurant. Sunday morning breakfast was more than adequate.

This was the most pleasant motel stay I have ever incurred. Thanks to the front desk clerk, we were made to feel like family. For someone as young as she was, she was very mature and made us feel very welcome.

Roland, Thank you for staying with us. We are very proud of our dedicated team. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the near future. Vincent Sano, GM

It was a very nice stay. The bed was nice and comfortable. The desk came in handy for my paper work. The food for breakfast was great and the chair in the room was nice along with the foot stool. I will be hunting for more Best Westerns on my truck route through out P.A & Vt. .

Vincent S, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Thank you Brian. I am pleased you were comfortable in our rooms. Come back and see us again. Vincent Sano, GM

Staff was wonderful and even printed off maps of places we were looking for in town. All were very personable. The room was great and even though there were 2 weddings going on in the hotel, we did not hear any noise in our room. And we know that at least some wedding guests were on our floof.

Vincent S, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Melinda, Thank you so much for your comments. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The two wedding parties were well behaved. Please come back and visit us again. Vincent Sano, GM

Spent the night before we picked up our puppies. A quality and clean hotel that my family (wife & I plus 2 teenagers) enjoyed for a night. We enjoyed a nice meal in the Lounge. The was staff friendly and attentive.

Paul, Thank you so much. I'm glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future. As always, we are happy to accept your newest additions to our family, where pets are always welcome. Vincent Sano, GM

Highly recommend this Best Western if you are in the market for a mid-priced dog friendly hotel near Sayre PA. Most hotels charge $100 or more to bring a dog. This is $10 per dog. Service was great. Had an AC problem and on a Sunday night we were moved immediately to a new room with a working AC. Front desk and maintenance staff were very responsive and friendly.

Vincent S, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Grand Victorian Inn, responded to this review
Thank you very much. We know how much people love their pets which are part of their family. Your dog is always welcome and he is welcome back here anytime. He can even bring you with him. Please come back and visit us again. Vincent Sano, GM
