The property was an older Days Inn, was clean and staff was friendly. I did have a problem with the shower dripping and brought that to their attention, which they will rectify after my stay (plumbing problem). Breakfast was non existent. The location was great for what we were doing.

Unacceptable Will Never, Ever Go Back.

We had to leave this hotel, and the owner wouldn't give us a refund, but that's okay. Seems like he needs it more than me. He needs to fix that hotel. Inn needs to be torn down, it's not livable.Hotel is very dirty filthy. Smell like cat-and-dog pee, doesn't look like pictures which is online. This seems to be a place for people who need assistance DSS or the homeless, or someone who was just released from prison. I would never, ever recommend anyone to stay at this Inn.

My stay was horrible. I was called by property owner several times while at work until 11pm... showed up and he was polite. Smoke smells in the lobby, then a key and to my room... strong Marijuana smell in the hall and there was my roo.... yikes, dark, dirty, broken window, rusty fixtures... spiders inside. I couldn't stay 2 nights. I just slept and left and will not be back. Highly recommend against the hotel.

I would like to start by saying this was a DaysInn prior to the name change. They have the previous sign lying on the ground in the parking lot. When we first arrived, we were very disappointed to find that the room was NOT cleaned prior to our arrival. (See photos). We spoke to the guy at the front desk and he said we would have to wait until house keeping comes the next day (he told us they come from 9am-6pm). Next day comes, my friend and i leave to do what we had planned for the day, and when we get back to the motel, the room still wasn't cleaned. Our stay was suppose to be from Wednesday-Sunday, but after a 3 days of asking if and when house keeping was coming, we got fed up. Spoke to another guy and asked for a refund. Thankfully he was more helpful than the first guy. There was no “do not disturb sign”, they advertised Netflix/Hulu on the app, but they only had cable and very minimal channels at that - no tv guide for the channels so you just had to go through all of them to find something you wanted to watch. There was no phone in room, if you needed something, you had to go to the lobby and ask. Not to mention, on the last day as we were leaving, we found a COCKROACH crawling in the hallway. Pls do better.
Bathroom wall looked like there was blood on it, 2 of the 3 towel holders were also broken.

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.
