Carpet dirty and covered in burn marks, dirty floor and walls. Hallway and lobby smell like smoke. A number of what seemed to be long term guests as well. All in all of I had any other reasonable option I would have left.

They're at least trying.

The staff was really friendly. You can tell they're at least really trying to run an old Days Inn property themselves and turn a profit. Its hard. I get it. Its the Finger Lakes. Rich folk. Wine Country. ALL the rooms are expensive. The price of the room for what you get? Not awesome. It's a non-smoking facility, but the place smelled of cigarette smoke (the room at least didn’t). I walked to my room, and another guest was straight up smoking away down the hall. The rooms were as clean as they can be with what they’ve got. There's empty screws/nails in the walls that likely used to have art, and having a single garbage can in the main room instead of a small 2nd in the bathroom was odd. Water pressure was just okay. But, it was still the least expensive room available (under $170) for a single night near the venue I needed to travel to.

Worst room ive ever rented

I assumed 4.7 rating was out of 5 and didnt check reviews… huge mistake, its out of 10 …. Staff was pleasant. Other than that just a disgusting dirty room, bed, furniture and common areas. Should be rated a 1 on any scale!

This hotel first put us in a queen room when I reserved a king. When moved, it was into a king room. Fresh paint, (smell). The carpet was wet and did not have the amenities as advertised. There were addicts living in the motel. The room was dirty, cleaned by my husband . Would not recommend to anyone.

When we arrived, we immediately were concerned about the state of this hotel. It was old and not in good condition. We did check in with the manager, who was apologetic. He told us the room he had for us had had a leak from a previous situation. We checked out the room he assigned us, and there was no way we could stay there. It smelled like smoke, and the one upholstered chair in the room was stained. The rugs in the hall were old and worn. It appears this hotel might be for DSS clients? We returned to the desk and told him we could not stay in that room. He had no other rooms for us. He told us he put in for a refund on his end, but that we have to contact Expedia. I am going to do that this morning. I would not recommend this hotel for travelers.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The rates were pocket-friendly. I had a very comfortable stay and slept like a baby after so long. There are many beautiful lakes nearby. I will definitely return whenever I'm in town and I will also recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you for the service.
