Not what we were expecting. It was more run down and there was activity on the balcony. Possibly people living there full time. Sign said to request towels, which we did but never received them. Manager was quite rude and didnt have towels at the desk or office. They're very small as well. Room was clean but in poor condition. The location was convenient though. Unfortunately, would not stay there again.

Piece was good, but not the stay

Two broken down vehicles in parking lot. A group of locals who seemed to live there but were climbing in the dumpster looking for recyclables and pushing around shopping cars were there outside most of the day. A couple who seemed to live in one of the rooms had a squabble outside during the night. Room had sloppy paint job, small holes in the wall where things had been hung in the past and smelled of smoke.

This is a very nice but basic motel in Cortland. It has a nice free breakfast and all the rooms lead out onto an external balcony so it's nice and easy to get in and out although make sure you lock the door as in theory anyone from outside can walk up the stairs and into your room otherwise. The bath was very old and worn looking. The breakfast was basic but ok with juice, cereal and honey buns.

Great location but needs more cleaning

The location is pretty good, but unfortunaly this hotel needs a lot of improvements, the smell of the room was very bad, smells like old, the badroom needs a deep cleaning flloor, bathtub, shower, door, toilet. Needs more cleaning at the sink area, and also the ceiling.
