Paid for two queen beds to be told they only have doubles ,bathroom was gross had smeared poop where the toilet paper is and shower was full of mold, also had dead bugs near the head of the bed between the carpet and wall base. If i could have gotten a refund i would have left.Room overall was gross and dirty and not well up kept. I went down to see if i could move to a different room stood at the front desk for about 15 minutes with noone insight so i returned to the room i was checked into. At check out same thing noone was around to complain to i left my key cards on the desk. I usually dont have this type of experience at a hotel and at first it seemed great i was greeted by a guy named peter i believe and he was great he checked me in and gave me a quick run down but unfortunately his shift was done at 3pm and i was checking in at 3pm so i wasnt able to go back down to discuss my concerns with him and im sure he would have taken care of it for me but whoever was in after him were MIA.

The hotel was so clean and the staff were wonderful. By far the best breakfast I have ever had from a hotel. The selection and quality of food was just phenomenal. I travel to Utica a couple times a year and will be booking here every time now!

Rooms are average, what you expect from a mid priced hotel. Breakfast was good, the one quirk is they don't have oatmeal(they usually have packets but didn't have any one of the days we were there) The gym was the most lacking feature. It's a NON air conditioned room that's just big enough to hold a bike, treadmill, and elliptical(Which wasn't working). They advertise it's near a rail trail, but the section we walked near the locks was REALLY isolated, definitely not somewhere to go alone.

Great stay, friendly staff,n

We stayed for 3 nights, 2nd time staying here and had a great experience. The staff were notably friendly, so much that I'm writing this review. They were very friendly and helpful! The room was spacious, bed very comfortable and the food options in the morning were solid and typical of a HIE. It's next door to two restaurants so it's very convenient to walk to dinner, and there's an amazing bagel place (Willie's) just over the bridge for bigger breakfast options and lunch.
