Good value

While the room wasn't pristine or perfect, the defects were very few and quite minor. The bathroom was a pleasant surprise, too, as it was much nicer than average for the room price.

I was attending a reunion at the Blue Arrow Farm in nearby Pine Island, NY. This hotel was only 6 miles away so quite convenient. The room was clean and everything worked as it should. The man told me checkout was 10:30am but I read that it was 11am. I left at 10am so it didn’t affect me.

Liked: Room comfort

Basic with good beds.

Beautiful setting. Scary (dangerous) access to driveway off and onto fast curving hillside road. Would benefit from convex traffic mirror opposite driveway. Beds extremely comfortable. Shower good. Everything else adequate, but that's okay with us. Had all we needed.
