The staff very nice, the hotel ok. Mold on ceiling in hallway… one major leak plastic tarp and tubes. No fan in bathroom so when u shower everything gets moist. Beds comfortable. Outside side doors are open access. No key needed… not great for safety

I stayed at this hotel during my visit for the Cornell campus tour. The location is great — there’s a grocery store right in front and it’s very convenient to get to the university. However, the building seems quite old, and the bathroom water doesn’t drain well. It’s a very classic place, to say the least.

Affordable basic hotel in convenient location

Start with the positives- friendly staff at check in. Helpful, quick and welcoming. Snacks and water in room as a welcome. Room well appointed. Beds comfortable. Room had a safe and fridge. Bathroom didn’t have a fan and needed updating. A few towels had stains and the shower curtain was deteriorating. Stains on the bedding but it was immediately remedied once brought to housekeeping attention. Easy parking, great location for college visits. None of outside doors lock so a bit of a safety issue. Additionally there was trash and construction debris outside. Hotel is in dire need of a sprucing up. Wallpaper peeling, stained and torn carpet and shattered glass in the door. Breakfast was amazing and staff ran it well.

Have stayed here several times. It’s not a four star luxury hotel. It’s a basic hotel that is clean, the staff is friendly, and it has all the basic amenities. One thing to keep in mind is the beds are full size not queen. Will be staying again in a few months.

Room very clean and comfortable, very good breakfast buffet in the former hotel restaurant, overall this 1971 hotel is clean, but it needs some serious updating and cosmetic maintenance.
