Property appears to be the alumni/ parents lodging for Clarkson University. Built in the 1980’s and slightly updated. Reasonable value. Continental breakfast. Note that while pet friendly, pets carry an extra on site charge.

Was a great place to stay, Staff went above and beyond to help settle in. Only thing was the drain would not close all the way so water slowly drained so had a soak faster than I liked
