This is a very convenient location. Room was very clean. Best waffle maker I’ve experienced at a hotel, actually comes out crispy. Be warned, they are breaking down breakfast right at end time. Only complaint was the room we received. It was the handicap accessible room. Bed was very low to the ground and the most uncomfortable mattress I’ve ever been on. It was unexplainable how bad. My wife had stayed at this location with family before and said that the rooms they were in had nice beds. Not sure if the other rooms have LVT flooring or not, but this one did. It is so much better than walking on questionable carpet. Not sure why all hotels haven’t made the transition. Also, very good Mexican restaurant right across the street. For the price, it would be 5 starts if not for that bed

Staff was excellent. Room needs many repairs. The heater was blowing cold air out of one side and slightly warm out of the other, at the same time. It was 20* outside and our room was 59* when we checked in and the heater was off. Lock on patio door was broken. Only a bar to close it. The track for the door was filthy as was the patio curtain. The heater also was missing parts and the grates were filthy and covered with dust. There was sand on the corner of it. The floor around the bed has dirt and orange crumbs on it. Bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way. Front door stuck and made a lot of noise. Bedspreads had fresh looking stains on them. On the positive side, the beds were cozy even though they seemed very old. The bathroom was very clean. Parking lot is very dimly lit, but didn’t have any issues. Shopping is close. Dog fee was only $25. They are pet friendly. Price wasn’t bad for the area. Staff that I dealt with was great. We were only there for one night. The place needs some serious renovation in some areas. The bathroom looks remodeled, but the bathroom sink was already cracked. That’s a shame. It’s a college area so I can only assume they may get some rowdy traffic on occasion. We had no problems. It was quiet. There were stains on my mattress on the corner resembling bed bug stains, but I’m hoping I was wrong. I didn’t see anything live, and had no issues. I like to check. The broken heater was probably the worse part. Nice comforter on bed though.

The property was fine for our purposes of a one-night stay to see Cornell. It's located on a busy stretch of road but I asked for a quiet room, and it was very quiet.

Better than average 2-3 star hotel, not a bad place to stay at typical reasonable rates, BUT prices were super inflated for a Cornell football game and Homecoming. Surrounding area was nondescript however it was close to cool stuff downtown and a short 15min walk to Buttermilk Falls State Park

Loved the fact that there was a free breakfast. The property was in a good location. The staff was very friendly. I wish the bathroom had a bit more room between the toilet and the sink. Also, the bed bumped up next to an outlet and the bipap my husband uses stopped working because it came out of the wall a bit.
