The hotel is conveniently located right off the interstate, making it a minute away from the highway and close to SUNY Cortland. The service was excellent, especially when there was a mix-up in our reservation and they quickly found us a room. However, the dining options were limited for those with dietary restrictions. The location is great for exploring nearby restaurants, but the cleanliness of the room on the first night was a letdown.
Rooms

The room initially had a moldy smell on the first night, but it improved to a fresh shampooed scent on the next night. Although there was a noise issue around the AC unit, it was generally nice.

The staff was very nice and helpful, even resolving a double charge quickly. Their assistance during the reservation mix-up showed how helpful they can be.

The hotel's location right off the interstate was convenient and close to SUNY Cortland. It was easy to find nearby restaurants and I was pleasantly surprised by the Cornell graduation tear bear.

The dining experience was limited for guests with dietary restrictions but satisfactory for others. They didn't clean the room the first night, which was disappointing.

The hotel had some ups and downs. The rooms had a mixed experience with some cleanliness issues but the staff went above and beyond to fix reservation errors. The location was good but left a sense of disbelief for repeat guests. Dining had its hits and misses with favorable variety but lacking freshness in some items.
Rooms
5.0
The rooms had a strong cigarette smell throughout the stay and cleanliness was initially promising until we found clothing left in the bathroom. There was a moldy odor the first night which changed to a shampooed scent the next night, likely from cleaning the worn-out carpet. We had to switch rooms.
Service
7.0
The service had moments of staff more engaged in their conversations than customer interaction. However, they were extremely helpful when we encountered a reservation mix-up, finding us a room on a busy Friday night. Generally friendly and accommodating.
Location

The location worked well for our visit and they accommodated our late departure request. Despite being close to the highway and necessary amenities in Cortland, it was a bit shocking to realize we were repeat guests.
Dining

Dining offered an array of choices but fell short with subpar eggs and not-so-fresh fruits in the breakfast spread.

The hotel had some issues with cleanliness and a moldy smell in the room, making it difficult to move around. On the positive side, the staff were very nice and went above and beyond to help with booking.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with 2 double beds, although there was a moldy smell on the first night, later improved to a pleasant shampooed scent after an attempt to clean the old carpet. The service was super friendly and extremely helpful when we had a reservation mix-up. The location was convenient, right next to I-81, but I was horrified to realize we had stayed here many times before. The dining options were a mixed bag, with some great choices but also disappointing items like old fruit. Overall, a decent stay but with some drawbacks.
