The carpet in the hall is blue but so threadbare it is white before each door. The windows you can barely see out of they are so dirty. The wallpaper is falling off the wall with many dings and dents in the walls, lampshades. 5 pillows and one was yellowish. A huge rip in my curtains. rips on the chair at the desk. Hard to believe this place is 170 a night. Very disappointed to stay here.

This is an older property in need of updating. The toilet ran very long, the bathroom fan was loud and took a while to come on and the hall carpet was worn to the floor underneath in places. But the front desk staff was very kind and helpful. They were terrific!

GRIM Quality Inn..., big disappointment

After a long drive, wife was desperate for a toilet, told there were no public toilets, had to wait for me to check in. Assigned a second floor room in a nearly empty hotel, we elderly patrons had to climb the ratty stairs carrying our luggage (no elevator) in order for her to use the toilet. Threadbare carpet on stairs, dislodged corroded drain plate, damaged exit door, broken security lock with security advisory label reflecting door lock no longer in place, poorly lit hallways, tattered curtains. Echhhhh! The bed was very nice, the room quiet and comfortable. "Free Breakfast" was a joke. Coffee and tea were OK. The room served our needs, got a good light's sleep. But have they no pride?

We needed a place to stay before a ski day at Greek Peak. This hotel is close to the mountain and also several restaurants in Cortland. Property shows age but room was clean and warm on 3 degree night. Reasonable price for a king room and bed and pillows very comfortable!

This property needs a total facelift. We had to change rooms when we checked in because the toilet would not work. I have never seen so little food put out at the breakfast buffet. Two yogurt, four muffins for example. The decaf coffee was dead cold. The staff member apologized and brewed another pot. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

Not a place for a nice stay

For the price the place was really not what you would expect. Non functioning amenities, loud clientele in and out of loud doors. Water pipes making loud noise throughout night. Just not a really well kept up place.

The hotel was not well maintained. Carpets were ripped and frayed, the toilets clogged easily, wallpaper was coming off the walls, and it just a very seedy place. The staff was friendly but the interior needs a lot of work.

Not So Much Quality

The hotel is a bit runned down but basically clean. Looks like it hasn't been updated in 20 years.
