This hotel was ok. The bedding was minimal, just a sheet & another light sheet with 3 very very very tiny pillows. Decor was nice but the bathroom wasn’t very clean. We got one soap bar for the sink & shower and the a/c unit was noisy. Will only stay here again if the Hampton has nothing available which is 30 mins away.

I was the maid of honor for a wedding at the hotel. Our room had no air conditioning. We went to the front desk 3 times to ask about it. Eventually a man came up to the room the second night and looked at it and said “yeah if you put it at less than 65 degrees it breaks it”....that was it. It wasn’t fixed, we were not moved to another room. Nothing. Spent $300 for two nights in a hot room. We could barely sleep. We brought it up again when checking out and were told that the manager would call us. It’s been over a week and no phone call. Also, there were 3 weddings going on and you are not allowed to use the stairs in the hotel so a ton of time was spent waiting for the elevator, people were complaining all weekend about it.

You get what you pay for

Close to Hamilton College so chose it as a quick overnight stay. For that it was mediocre. Will stay elsewhere in the future if we chose to return to the area. Continental breakfast was limited and just that. Not as clean as I would like and dated!! Iron wasn't working correctly and burned my leg. Showerhead was not direct so stream was everywhere.

Good Price - BAD Vibes

Booking was easy, and for MOST of our stay, the price couldn't be beat. For the bad: we arrived at our room and opened the door to a giant, empty cavern. Rooms sized as if were plans to have living room/main room areas...that's where plans stopped. Main area had king sized bed, small motel closet with doors that didn't open/close, nightstands, and beat-up dresser with TV on far corner that looked like it came from 70's. Corner of the ceiling stained yellow and bowed from water damage. The ""living room area"" giant and nearly completely empty save for two lamp stands and a few chairs. Bathroom was scary - shower drain was rusty and the grout had fallen OUT from between tiles, leaving black holes. We didn't shower there. Had newborn baby with us. Woke up midway through night to feed him and could see my breath! Rushed over to baby and he was FREEZING cold... woke my husband and rushed around trying to figure out what was wrong. Did this in the dark, because none of lamps working (told later they unplug them - nice to know). Called front desk and they informed us they often turn heat in rooms OFF ( nice to know after the fact). Took a few hours, but room warmed up - just enough time for us to cancel rest of reservation and check the heck out. While waiting to check out, was in line behind customer who was upset there was only one washrag and towel in her room she shared with husband. She was told rudely by the staff that if there were two people in the room, she was going to be charged extra. She was also sent away without towel and washrag she had been requesting. Not recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Hotel

Stayed here for a conference. Room was EXTREMELEY quiet...which I love. Had great HVAC system for your comfort. Plenty of hot water in showers. Rooms were immaculate and huge with king size beds in all the rooms, I believe. Only thing I really did not like was that all the lighting in the rooms had the individual turn knobs on each light....no wall swithces, except for restroom. I hate fumbling for the little knobs under the lamp shades!

Have stayed here several times

We have stayed here several times and it is our first choice for parents' weekend, etc. at local colleges. We just need a decent place to sleep etc. so haven't tried the race track and don't need a lot of ammenities but would not hesitate to recommend it.

Worst Hotel I have ever stayed in

Checked in on Sat night at 5pm . I secured 9 rooms for my friends daughter's wedding that night at a near by restruant.\nwas told by Desk staff that i could bring my pet chiwawa small dog. Left in in the room inside portable kennel. and left for the wedding.\nA large group of drunks checked in carring more beer that what would be at Yankee Statium.\nCame back from the wedding and found that hotel locked me and my wife son and daughter out of the room because the night clerk decided to say hotel had a pet policy.\nMy 15 year old daughter along with the new bride were harassed by several drunk guests in the lobby.\nNext moring at breakfast no coffee no silver ware at a buffet I will never stay at this hotel I say go with Turning stone Casino they know how to treat guestsl Hotels

good value

good value when business rates are used. Mini casino and race track bring certain clientele. Although the hotel is rather new it looks ""tired"" but is still one of the best in the area.
