We had a great stay. The rooms we stayed in were beautifully renovated and very clean. Apparently they just opened the end of November 2025 so they are still working out minor updates but nothing that ruin our stay.The staff was so kind and helpful. The manager Martin, and front desk staff Stacey and Carlena made sure our stay was comfortable and were very nice and kind. We would definitely come and stay again.

Hotel is very clean and nice looking inside and out. Room was very roomy and laid out nice. Beds were soft with nice sheets and blankets. 4 fluffy pillows on each bed. 2 wireless charging pads for phones and plenty of usb plug ins and regular outlets to charge devices. Rooms a quiet with plenty of places to eat near by. Cons would be refrigerator in room is smallest I have seen in a hotel room. No coffee maker in the room and toilets really low to ground with horrible seats. Pool isn’t very big at all and parking can be very limited on a busy day. Breakfast is only hard boiled eggs, 3 cold cereals, bagels, plain yogurt, muffins, and instant oatmeal. Drinks coffee, apple and orange juice. One elevator for 4 levels and all the guest. No body wash in shower just bar soap.

We arrived for a 2 night stay for a dance competition. The first room we got had not been cleaned well and we found ants around the bed seems and floor. The receptionist was nice and moved us to a second room. The second room the door had to be busted open because it had been freshly painted and it wouldn't open when we entered the furnace/ ac unit was in pieces. I called the front desk and she offered to move us again but we agreed we would just stay in the room. The a/c unit definitely had some issues and rattled all night. We booked this hotel for the pool however the pool is very small! We weren't able to use it because it was so full of people when we went to it. The breakfast was the basics of bagels, pitchers of juice, cereal and muffins. Overall the facility appeared clean in main areas.

This was my first stay at the property. The area was clean, and overall the stay itself was fine. However, I had a concerning interaction with a staff member that needs to be addressed. Before leaving, I went up to return the cart and shared an elevator with a staff member. She looked at me and said, “Ah, you’re the one who asked to change your bed sheets. The front desk call and ask me to change your bed sheet at 4;00 pm". This was extremely unprofessional. For context, we had called the front desk earlier to request a sheet change because we were going to be out later. We clearly acknowledged that it was a late request, apologized, and understood if it could not be accommodated. There was no reason for a staff member to call this out publicly or address me in that manner. Guest requests should be handled with discretion and professionalism, not brought up in a way that feels dismissive or embarrassing.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean but was right in front of the elevator. Super noisy with people coming in and out and talking at 2-3am in the morning. Then the room next door to us blasted their music at 7am. After trying to ignore it and go back to sleep, I had to call the front desk to complain. Unfortunately, the music kept going and I called back again. Finally at 9:06am the music stopped and they left. The only other problem I had with the room was the bathroom. The shower had low pressure and the toilet handle has to be held down until the flush is completed. I didn’t try their breakfast because I didn’t have a good night’s rest. Would have liked to complained to the manager for compensation but was truly exhausted and had to leave. Would not recommend this place for a good night rest. Location was good for division Binghamton University but there are plenty of other hotels.
