If you’re visiting a kid at Cornell, this place is well-located. Beds are ok. Price is very good. Bathroom is a little odd with sink in bedroom, not bathroom. Lobby is social. You’ll meet other parents. Have coffee or a beer. I stay here for location and price point mostly. And free parking!

The manager, JoAnn, was awesome. Very friendly, helpful and accomodating. Made me feel right at home. The room was small but was able to move around and be comfortable. Very clean.

The rooms aren't really designed for business, the working/sitting areas in the rooms is minimal (I've stayed in about 6-7 different rooms). Beds are fine, shower is straight down from the ceiling

Let’s start with the positives. This was a super unique and cool hotel to stay in. It was very clean, updated, and the person running the front desk while we were there was super nice. Now for the big negative - you can hear EVERYTHING and I don’t just mean the usual noise in a hotel.
