Ordered eggs over easy and bacon for breakfast. The eggs were fried and the bacon was inedible. Worst breakfast I have had in a long time. Requested a whiskey menu at the lounge and was told they do not have one. Suggested I just pick something off the self. I ordered a 'double' and received a bill for $140 for the one drink! I should have been informed of the cost since there was no whiskey menu.

Not quite a Hampton Inn but more expensive

It's fine. I like the St Lawrence University focus, they own it. And the gym is nice. More inviting common areas to hangout - both inside and outside would be welcome. Rooms pretty basic, the bathroom is small. Overall, it seems a bit pricey for what it is.
