Very clean and love the vintage aesthetic and the old elevator. The front desk receptionist is also very kind and helpful. The house cat definitely elevated our experience even more. She's a sweetheart. The breakfast provided at the Cornel hotel was also nice. We enjoyed the medieval theme of the breakfast ambiance. Definitely would consider staying again for another staycation. Only thing I wished was that it was advertised better that the bathroom was communal. For the price we paid, I was assuming the toilet and shower would at least be in the room. Overall, we loved the aesthetic and would consider staying here again if the price was a little more affordable.

Great Bed, Horrible Parking!

The hotel is cute and quaint. The room was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The parking situation was not ideal. There’s a lot across the street that charges between $40 and $100 for overnight parking with no set rate or availability for hotel guests. There are no in and out privileges. Very inconvenient.

Would not recommend

Got there had to walk down the street and get the key from another hotel. Then my room didn’t have a restroom had to share it with other people. The people next door were really loud. Beds are very uncomfortable. Does not have EV charging even tho it says on the website. Horrible experience.

Great character hotel with flaws

I loved the character of the hotel and was generally pleased the stay. I really wanted to like it more, but it was odd that reception was only manned from 9-5 and the cat had to do the job outside those hours, nice though it was. We had to use the French-styled sister hotel down the road to check in, and the second time when we returned for a Wifi code, we were asked for ID when we had already shown it an hour before. Also, the breakfast was at the sister hotel and, with the best will in the world, it wasn't very good. Also, the hotel would have been fine without a TV as it doesn't really fit with the old world style, but in the event, it had one that only received one channel, and that had no sound. We could have told reception but the cat didn't seem to care.
