Our room on the first floor was smelly, damp and dingy. The attendant very kindly let us try a second-floor room. It had less smell and was not damp. (It too was dingy.) We moved to the second-floor room and were very glad we did.

Okay stay

The overall room was okay for the price. But the breakfast wasn't a true breakfast. They have a picture of a wonderful strawberry dessert that they don't serve. There were also no vending machines to get food or water on the property.

We needed a place to stay before a ski day at Greek Peak. This hotel is close to the mountain and also several restaurants in Cortland. Property shows age but room was clean and warm on 3 degree night. Reasonable price for a king room and bed and pillows very comfortable!

The ladies at the desk were amazing, I have always been in in business and customer service is everything. And they were wonderful. The bed was super comfortable with that said the rooms could use some attention as far as being spiffed up. it was a safe comfortable place to stay and I had no problems, and a nice little continental breakfast in the morning. Thank you .

This property needs a total facelift. We had to change rooms when we checked in because the toilet would not work. I have never seen so little food put out at the breakfast buffet. Two yogurt, four muffins for example. The decaf coffee was dead cold. The staff member apologized and brewed another pot. The staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

Patty at the front desk is amazing. She is friendly and very helpful. The rooms are old. Our bathroom had a lot of mold on the ceiling of the shower. The staff does well to keep an outdated hotel accommodating.

It's an old property, needs renovation. It's probably okay for the price.

There was much dis-repair. Curtains were ripped, carpet on stairs worn through with large holes. Surprised that there was no mattress protector on the bed. Staff was very friendly.
