The hotel was clean and updated. The breakfast was also great! My biggest complaint is the pool was closed when we got there. We booked this hotel because of the pool. I wish the site would have been updated to inform us of this before we booked or there would have been some offer to make up for the inconvenience.

The pool was very cloudy. You literally could not see your body in the water really. They might need a new plll cause it was also chipping all over the bottom of the pool and there was an object of sorts on the steps that one of the kids had stepped on. The bathroom on the first floor was also really gross. The beds were comfortable though

The check in was quick and easy with a very pleasant lady. Room was not as clean as I expected. Torn tissues on floor near TV and in the bathroom. The bathroom floor had long dark hair on it and the corners had dirt and hair. Our bath mat was already wet and the bath towels were damp. The beds were comfortable and sheets clean and fresh smelling and loved the pillow selection. Breakfast was very good with plenty items to choose

This hotel is outdated and smells stale and stinky in the halls and rooms. We booked 2 rooms. 1 room still had a used dirty washcloth in the tub. My 82 year old mother had to got to the front desk to request the tub and shower be cleaned. She was told that since the supervisor was out on a medical leave. the cleaners tried to get away with things! We heard people walking on the floor above us and e dry noise in the hallway was heard in the room. One bed “whistled” anytime you moved. The air conditioner “gargled”. I just spent 2 nights in a hotel in a neighboring country and paid just a little more per night and that was fabulous. I was embarrassed that this hotel was so smelly and outdated for what we were charged. Breakfast was awesome.

There was a large group of baseball players and their parents running up and down the hallways making lots of noise at night. The room was absolutely freezing with the thermostat set to 55 when we got there and it didn't warm up until well after midnight. Staff was very friendly despite all of this.

I Our room had only 1 chair which my husband used at the desk to use the computer, therefore, I had only a bed to sit on. That did not work. I asked the gal on the desk for a chair, and she said that none were available, but I could sit in the great room. That did not allow me to lounge as I wished to. The chair seat at the desk was too deep for comfort.

I stayed here for one night while visiting my son at SUNY Cortland. I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. While not the most updated hotel, it was clean and the service was excellent. The gym is very small with only a few machines so if more than a few people want to use it it is not really a feasible option. Luckily I was the only person there so it worked fine. The highlight was the breakfast. I was very surprised at the quality of the product with multiple egg options, breads, cereals, many different types of yogurts as well as hot cinnamon rolls and pancakes. Being that this was included in the price definitely increased the rating in my mind. Overall it was a good hotel, close to campus. I would recommend.

This stay was great! Just about every little detail was perfect. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was spotless and the corridors and common areas were very clean and fresh smelling also! Everything from the linens to the microwave, frig, chargers and well thought out lighting made it a relaxing night's stay. Breakfast was great with lots of hot options and a nice coffee bar. I WILL purposely look to stay here again- something I rarely do.
