What guests think

Cortland Motel is an older, no-frills, family-run stop where many guests find clean, quiet, basic rooms at a fair price, with easy highway access and parking, though the property looks dated and upkeep varies between rooms.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with quick, straightforward check-in. Several reviews note small bathrooms or rooms, musty odors, and worn pillows or mattresses; a few report bathroom upkeep issues. There is no breakfast on site, but restaurants and a diner are a short drive away. A good fit for travelers prioritizing value and convenience over amenities.

Clean, basic classic motel room with a couple updated fixtures and furniture pieces. LVP flooring throughout which I like (seems more hygienic). The shampoo packets are difficult to tear open. You'll need to cut them first.

I was able to park right outside my door, and it felt like a safe area. The staff/family who ran the motel were all very sweet. The room was clean, and had a mini fridge, microwave, space heater, and air conditioner. The room was just the right size for my needs. I would definitely stay there again.

I always stay here when I’m in town for work. Conveniently located and clean. They put new flooring in my room and the family has always been good to me. There’s a couple nursing homes and hospital loss by so us nurses stay there. Has a fridge and microwave. Close to Dunkin, gas stations, work, food. It’s an older hotel but clean. Never an issue here

Decent small hotel. If simple comfort and good nights rest is all you want, at a decent price, this is good place. No frills, no breakfast but clean and comfortable

My motel door either blew open or the housekeeping person attempted to get in and seen me sleeping and left the door open. Or someone tried to break in. Thankfully I had the chain hooked. And the handle of door was still locked. I do not recommend anyone stay there for there safety. There was mold on bathroom ceiling. And they had a space heater under were clothes hang. Major fire hazard. The carpets smelled like dirty ass. I had a migraine when in that room that went away 30 minutes every time I left..

The motel is old and a classic motel (drive up to the door, bathroom at back of room). Very clean, comfortable bed and pillows, easy to access. Heat was a floor heater unit, bathroom was small and rather cramped. Decent value for a one or two night stay.

The place is held together with caulking, has not had an upgrade in many years. There’s nothing great about the place, I’ve stayed in many first rate places for less. The bed was terrible, mattress was very old and uncomfortable. I could go on but if the room was priced accordingly I wouldn’t complain! $170 for a nights sleep in an uncomfortable bed and a shower that is so old and doesn’t have much water, just doesn’t seem right!

As many reviews have stated this location is okay. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean and the owners were pleasant. But it definitely needs work. The room had a musty smell, that o believe is due to the lack of fan in bathroom. There was a coffee maker, but the room was not cleaned while we were out the first day. So nothing was replenished. The flooring, a laminate looked fairly new. Much smaller than the picture looked on line. It is a motel with all the hallmarks of motel. We picked it as we were attending a soccer tournamrnt and the nicer hotels were overpriced. Probably would not stay there again, but it was sufficient, clean and quiet.

Pleasantly surprised and pleased by this motel. Most motels make you regret not planning earlier or not paying the extra cash to stay in a hotel. Clean. Staff is nice. And its visible thatbthey care about being clean and a good presentation. Would consider staying here again. I live 3 hours away.

Rooms are older but nice. Mine was huge with a large bathroom. Nice hot water and very warm in room. I slept so good and it was quiet. Close to 81 and all major roads (11/13), shopping, and there’s a restaurant and bar next door. Very nice family too. Lots of room to park and not many people were there so it was super quiet for me.
