What guests think

At Quality Inn Tully I-81, travelers report clean, quiet rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location just off I-81, making it a practical stop for Syracuse, Cortland, or nearby ski areas.

Beds are often comfortable, but rooms feel basic or dated, with occasional A/C struggles, loud bathroom fans, or hallway noise. Breakfast is simple and sometimes understocked, with waffles, cereal, and packaged items; equipment or supply issues are reported at times. Facilities are modest; the two-story building has no elevator, parking is easy, and a few guests noted maintenance or security issues like an inoperative ice machine or an exterior door that didn't lock. Overall, expect a straightforward stopover with basic comforts, though pricing can feel high for the area.

A clean, basic hotel. Exterior was a bit dated, but the interior common areas were clean & modern. The room itself was also clean, the linens fresh. Breakfast was available, and it too was basic, as one would expect while travelling. We requested a pet-friendly room, and we were pleased to receive one near a side door, which was very convenient. The staff were friendly, very helpful and advised us on local dining. Overall, we were very pleased with our overnight stay.

1) Shower lever valve needs replacing in our room 2) 2 stories, stairs only 3) General mildly poor smell in hallway (2nd floor) 4) Desk person couldn’t reach manager to figure out how to change our room from 2nd floor to1st 6) Kitchen juice despensers out of operation 7) price with all of that was reasonable on the other hand. Therefore with certain convincing of wife, we’d stay there again.

We have family that live in the area so we have stayed here before. It has slowly been declining over the years. This past weekend will be the last time we stay there. It’s run down and needs a major overhaul. I didn’t want to touch the shower curtain especially. The breakfast wasn’t good so we left and ate somewhere else. Safety was a concern since the back door key card wasn’t working and the door was unlocked the whole time.

The bed was comfortable with 4 pillows on king bed. There were plenty of towels. The water pressure was great with lots of hot water. We liked the room arrangement where the shower and toilet are separate from sink area. There was plenty of parking and the area was quiet. Complaints are the bathroom fan was very loud and the A/C unit didn't keep up. We like to sleep cold. We had it set at 66F and it did not get down to the temperature set. We were in room 117.

When asked why we were leaving i told her because i wasn't staying in a place that might have bed bugs or not i couldn't take that risk .i did not get a refund because i paid on line so that pissed me off even more the night clerk was very rude to me.So do what you want with this review, if it looks iffy trust your gut

This is very decent hotel for 3 star rating. The staff is nice and breakfast was good. We felt some smoking smell in the room while entering, so hotel needs to enforce no smoking policy more strictly. Another suggestion is to include non-egg version of items in the breakfast to cater to vegan and people with allergy sensitive. Overall, definitely recommended to stay.

The free breakfast was okay in terms of variety. I wish they had free water in the rooms. The bed linen did not smell very fresh (or maybe it was the pillows that didn't?). The a/c worked well, and in this current heat, that was much appreciated. The sink was not draining as fast as it should. overall cleanliness is just average; it could be cleaner.

The hotel is in a good location and the staff we encountered was friendly, professional, and kind. However, there are problems. We reserved a pet friendly room and paid the additional $23 to get one of the pet-specific rooms, which seems like a good idea, but the reality is that our room absolutely reeked of stale cigarette/cigar smoke, so reserving a "special" room didn't seem to protect us from that. Also, the air conditioner in the room did not work properly - the fan only ran occasionally (and we tried all of the settings - Auto, High, and Low) and the room never cooled down so sleeping was miserable. And finally, the fan in the bathroom rattles so much that I did not use the fan when I showered because I was certain it was loud enough to wake the neighbors. I was also told my Choice Privileges member number would automatically be added to my reservation, but when I received my final receipt for the $23 for the pet fee, it said that was not enough money spent for my stay to be counted. I assume that since I booked it through Expedia, I will need to go back to manually enter it later. For a one night stay, this property was fine. But since we didn't feel we could be moved since there is a limited number of pet-friendly rooms, we were miserable sleeping in the heat of the room, even though the temperature overnight outside was not that hot, but we couldn't open the windows.

About what you can expect at this price point. Front desk staff were very friendly, but the rooms are dated and in need of refurbishment. In our room, we found a leather desk chair that literally looked like it had been rescued from the curb. Breakfast is available, but outside of waffles and some cereal and b'fast sandwich items, the options are limited.

place was clean, but..... - there were huge cracks in the ceiling above each bed. we weren't comfortable with this, but they wouldn't change our room. Said they were out of rooms, but it didn't seem that crowded. - closest restaurant was Burger King. Others 5 min away all closed at 9, except what appeared to be a biker bar. there's a gas station/food mart next door. - overall, the area wasn't that nice. not unsafe, but just not nice. for a much lower rate, I'd probably stay there again. my wife? not a chance!

It’s a bed to sleep in. Don’t count on the breakfast before you go. The waffle mix is so watery it won’t make any. Maybe if you got up at 7 when it’s served it will be better. We tried one of the microwave sandwiches as I usually like those but the microwave they give in the dining area isn’t the type you can set to defrost for 30 seconds then repeat then set at a power for 60 seconds to cook. So it definitely isn’t great. There is a local cafe close I think it’s flourish farms. Very cute and affordable. Don’t let the outside get to ya. Inside it’s cute and clean. Outside just looks plain. Bed was good and room was clean. Water was hot fast and shower was refreshing
