TAYLOR is teaming with local hoteliers, Ahir & Company, LLC, and Choice Hotels for construction of the 3-story, 37,000-square-foot, 67-room hotel located at 635 Elmira Road (NYS Route 13).

One of the most well-known hotel brands in the U.S. with more than 2,100 locations and 122 in the pipeline, Comfort provides its guests with a sense of belonging that enables them to unlock the joy of travel whether they are staying for business or with their family. An open lobby allows for clear line of sight to its breakfast area and lounge seating space, so that guests immediately feel familiar with their location, easing them into a relaxed stay. With a hallmark Comfort Way of service, guests experience delightful touches throughout their stay, including a warm greeting from staff and signature localized postcards, making them feel welcome so they can let joy in and focus on their travel occasion.

In this updated prototype, the hotel lobby, breakfast and flex room areas have been adapted to incorporate a more intuitive design that features refined furniture finishes, and a cheerful, energizing space for guests to work, play and enjoy breakfast. Bright and elevated colors feature in the guest rooms and public spaces, putting guests in a positive frame of mind.
