Complimentary breakfast was great with variety of options and hot foods. The facilities were clearly built many moons ago, but was generally clean and satisfactory other than the bathroom - from its sliding doors to the floor, the shower was filled with mold and layers of grime, and the sink drainage was horrid.

Hotel smelled like fresh laundry, and there were individually bagged cookies upon check-in. Staff were AMAZING! Dining room spacious & looks newly renovated. Lots of hot & cold options for breakfast! My room however was in the process of being renovated, and I found women’s clothing in my closet. I booked the room last minute, and there was only one room left, so I was just happy I was able to get a room to begin with!

We used Expedia to reserve a room to stay in Binghamton university area. The first trip went well because the hotel was not greedy and agreed to terminate the second day reservation without any penalty. We expected the same from the Best Western Hotel that we reserved recently. We were surprised to find out that the Best Western is greedy and refused to refund for canceling the reservation for the second day. We did notify the front office staff who checked in. So, we gave the hotel 24 hours of advance notice. However, Barbara, the Assistant General Manager, refused to refund the full rent for the second day. She did agree to refund a partial amount deducting a fine for canceling the second day after the intervention of the Expedia staff. The Expedia failed to notify us of this second day termination policy. It is also unavailable at the time of reservation. When we reported the problem to Expedia, the first representative did negotiate a partial refund, but the second representative simply said that there was nothing that she could do as the hotel decided everything! The bottom line is that the Expedia gets commission for directing customers to a hotel but failed its obligation to provide customers with necessary information about policies of a hotel.

Not good.

We got there at 3pm which was check in time but our rooms weren't ready until after 5. They said one of their dryers broke.down. I took a shower and had luke warm water, reported it. when I grabed a towel to dry off the towel was already wet. We asked for some compensation at checkout and they would do nothing. The room was not clean and the shower floor was blak. they

For over $300 a night you would expect more. Bathroom ceiling tiles moldy. Room itself smelled. Had to keep AC on 64 so we could avoid the smell. Bathroom floor looked like it hadn’t been swept for awhile. Workers were great but room was what you would expect for $59 a night. Not what we paid.
