Very mediocre hotel.

Very mediocre hotel. Stayed here at insanely inflated prices for my graduation from Cornell. Over 800 a room for a single night. Very average breakfast. Bagel, toast, waffle maker, eggs, sausage, orange and apple juice, and some yogurt. Stains were on most furniture pieces. Small TV in the room. Looks like they had a hair dryer, but the space was empty in my room. The GF I outlet in the bathroom was absolutely disgusting looking. Had lots of stuff called up on it. Hotel has no amenities. This hotel should only be considered for the three S's (sleeping, showering, sh!trying). Would have gone anywhere else if I could. It's better than a Motel 8, but that's just because of the people, not necessarily the service.

This is a very convenient location. Room was very clean. Best waffle maker I’ve experienced at a hotel, actually comes out crispy. Be warned, they are breaking down breakfast right at end time. Only complaint was the room we received. It was the handicap accessible room. Bed was very low to the ground and the most uncomfortable mattress I’ve ever been on. It was unexplainable how bad. My wife had stayed at this location with family before and said that the rooms they were in had nice beds. Not sure if the other rooms have LVT flooring or not, but this one did. It is so much better than walking on questionable carpet. Not sure why all hotels haven’t made the transition. Also, very good Mexican restaurant right across the street. For the price, it would be 5 starts if not for that bed
