Room was too disgusting and dirty to stay. Front desk staff gave me a warning at check in “we are sold out and we can’t switch your room but I even tried to clean it myself and it won’t come out”. This place needs an inspection from the health department. Dirty with smell of mold and damp everywhere.

Hotel is older and a bit musty smelling. Our room had peeling wallpaper and old stains on the curtains. The shower was often lukewarm or cold no matter how long it ran. Would not stay again or recommend.

The overall room was okay for the price. But the breakfast wasn't a true breakfast. They have a picture of a wonderful strawberry dessert that they don't serve. There were also no vending machines to get food or water on the property.

The location was super convenient!. The staff were friendly and helpful. My room was clean and comfy. I was in town for the SUNY Cortland graduation ceremony, as were most of the other guests. When leaving, they gave each of us a cute stuffed Red Dragon (the school mascot)!

The carpet in the hall is blue but so threadbare it is white before each door. The windows you can barely see out of they are so dirty. The wallpaper is falling off the wall with many dings and dents in the walls, lampshades. 5 pillows and one was yellowish. A huge rip in my curtains. rips on the chair at the desk. Hard to believe this place is 170 a night. Very disappointed to stay here.

This is an older property in need of updating. The toilet ran very long, the bathroom fan was loud and took a while to come on and the hall carpet was worn to the floor underneath in places. But the front desk staff was very kind and helpful. They were terrific!
