My stay was horrible. I was called by property owner several times while at work until 11pm... showed up and he was polite. Smoke smells in the lobby, then a key and to my room... strong Marijuana smell in the hall and there was my roo.... yikes, dark, dirty, broken window, rusty fixtures... spiders inside. I couldn't stay 2 nights. I just slept and left and will not be back. Highly recommend against the hotel.

I would like to start by saying this was a DaysInn prior to the name change. They have the previous sign lying on the ground in the parking lot. When we first arrived, we were very disappointed to find that the room was NOT cleaned prior to our arrival. (See photos). We spoke to the guy at the front desk and he said we would have to wait until house keeping comes the next day (he told us they come from 9am-6pm). Next day comes, my friend and i leave to do what we had planned for the day, and when we get back to the motel, the room still wasn't cleaned. Our stay was suppose to be from Wednesday-Sunday, but after a 3 days of asking if and when house keeping was coming, we got fed up. Spoke to another guy and asked for a refund. Thankfully he was more helpful than the first guy. There was no “do not disturb sign”, they advertised Netflix/Hulu on the app, but they only had cable and very minimal channels at that - no tv guide for the channels so you just had to go through all of them to find something you wanted to watch. There was no phone in room, if you needed something, you had to go to the lobby and ask. Not to mention, on the last day as we were leaving, we found a COCKROACH crawling in the hallway. Pls do better.
Bathroom wall looked like there was blood on it, 2 of the 3 towel holders were also broken.

They're at least trying.

The staff was really friendly. You can tell they're at least really trying to run an old Days Inn property themselves and turn a profit. Its hard. I get it. Its the Finger Lakes. Rich folk. Wine Country. ALL the rooms are expensive. The price of the room for what you get? Not awesome. It's a non-smoking facility, but the place smelled of cigarette smoke (the room at least didn’t). I walked to my room, and another guest was straight up smoking away down the hall. The rooms were as clean as they can be with what they’ve got. There's empty screws/nails in the walls that likely used to have art, and having a single garbage can in the main room instead of a small 2nd in the bathroom was odd. Water pressure was just okay. But, it was still the least expensive room available (under $170) for a single night near the venue I needed to travel to.

This hotel first put us in a queen room when I reserved a king. When moved, it was into a king room. Fresh paint, (smell). The carpet was wet and did not have the amenities as advertised. There were addicts living in the motel. The room was dirty, cleaned by my husband . Would not recommend to anyone.

When we arrived, we immediately were concerned about the state of this hotel. It was old and not in good condition. We did check in with the manager, who was apologetic. He told us the room he had for us had had a leak from a previous situation. We checked out the room he assigned us, and there was no way we could stay there. It smelled like smoke, and the one upholstered chair in the room was stained. The rugs in the hall were old and worn. It appears this hotel might be for DSS clients? We returned to the desk and told him we could not stay in that room. He had no other rooms for us. He told us he put in for a refund on his end, but that we have to contact Expedia. I am going to do that this morning. I would not recommend this hotel for travelers.
