Love staying at the dorm. It is right on Cornell campus with on site parking. Rooms are a bit on the small side but charming decorations and impeccably clean. Love the living room in the lobby with beer bar, cozy couches games and books. We enjoyed outside back deck and played cards and enjoyed takeout dinner out there. Staff is wonderful
