Gym is not really functioning, only about one of the cardio machines worked. Also only two weight machines that looked suspicious/questionable safety. Also would have preferred a shuttle to/from airport.

The last time I stayed at this hotel was about 15 years ago. It was a Ramada hotel then. I was glad to see that Cayuga Blu maintained the same customer service level that Ramada had.
