Decent experience with this hotel. The king bed was very comfortable and the continental breakfast had variety and was pretty good. Room 119 where we stayed smelled like mildew and the entire carpet was damp. Bathroom mirror looked like it hadn’t been wiped down in months. Two of the four exercise equipment in the exercise room could not be powered on and there was a very large cobweb around the window. No water in the exercise room. Looked like no one had checked in on the condition of the exercise room in weeks.

In town for Cortland State track meet. 5 minutes from campus. Out side is going through spring cleanup, mulching etc, bit muddy at entrance, parking lot is in need of pothole repairs. Other entrances key card does not work, not a complaint to walk to main entrance. Breakfast is minimal selection of eggs / sausage/ waffles, Perkins is attached to hotel. Little noisy on highway side, could hear trucks through the night. It was very clean and had a spacious king suite. Happy with stay.

Comfortable beds and nice-sized rooms that were clean. I liked the fact that it adjoins the Perkins restaurant. I will happily recommend this hotel. The area surrounding the hotel is a bit depressing, but the location is good as it provides quick access to Homer and Cortland.
