My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The room was small but doable, with a great comfy bed and cleanliness being the highlights. The staff was friendly, which added to the positive experience. However, there were some issues with the service that could be improved. The location was convenient for my needs and the surrounding area had some amenities, but the hotel itself could use some updating. The dining experience was pretty good, although there were mixed opinions on the food quality. The facilities were satisfactory, but there is room for enhancement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, surrounded by lots of places to eat and shop, very close to Cornell. However, the rooms were in dire need of a refresh; they smelled musty and showed signs of neglect. The service was a mixed bag, some staff were friendly and helpful, while others were unaccommodating and uninformative. The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited options and confusion over what was included. On the upside, the facilities were satisfactory and the price was reasonable.

The hotel's location was amazing, right in the middle of lots of places to eat and shop, and very close to Cornell. The rooms smelled musty and were far from the elevator, with a dated bathroom. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, but needs better education on using Booking. The dining experience was not included, leading guests to opt for nearby eateries like friendly's. The hotel's facilities were lacking, especially in terms of security and elevators.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were great with a comfy bed and clean environment, but the A/C plus heater unit had a mind of its own, turning the room into a sauna at 4 am. The service was lacking as the staff seemed disinterested and uncommunicative. The location was convenient for car travelers but needed some updating. The dining experience was the highlight of our stay, especially with freshly baked European bread.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was perfect for the activities we had planned, and it was close to Cornell and stores. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired with cleanliness issues and a leaky toilet. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, with some staff being unhelpful, while others were extremely cooperative. The dining experience was just okay, not terribly impressive, and the facilities could use some updating. Overall, the value for money was questionable, compared to other nicer and better-kept competitor hotels in the area.

Rooms

The room was quite disappointing, to be honest. It was freezing, and my child cried the entire time. I found two pair of dirty men's shoes and a used coffee lid in the room, which was really off-putting.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean, there were some issues like a broken shower head that scalded my daughter's feet during a shower. The pools, however, were filthy. Additionally, the A/C plus heater unit would turn on by itself at 85F, causing sauna-like temperatures at 4 am, waking us up.

The hotel is in a convenient location close to Cornell University and offers easy access to various dining and shopping options.
