Older hotel but recently renovated. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. My room was on the 2nd floor and stairs were the only option, so I struggled with my suitcase and bags, especially on the way up. My room apparently overlooked the indoor pool but the window was opaque and the drapes did not open, so it was cavelike.

Excellent front desk employees. Clean, largely quiet renovated building. Pool was closed. Rooms are clean but very basic. Excellent bedding. WiFi decent. No in-room safe. No elevator to second floor which could have been problematic for disabled individuals. I had a ten day stay and nothing was mentioned about housekeeping frequency on check-in. After the 4th night I had to ask the front desk to have my room refreshed particularly because I had no additional towels. Housekeeping then occurred irregularly until check out.

Only downside was the indoor pool was being worked on and wasn't open.

The beds were so comfortable and having a full fridge and microwave was really convenient. There is a pool but the door was always locked. I never saw anyone use it. The staff was hit or miss. Some mornings the free coffee in the lobby was full and fresh which is a nice bonus but other mornings it was never refilled after the first pot. We stayed here because we were moving our daughter to Cornell and we were not paying $350 or more for 2 star hotels near the school. We were happy we chose this hotel. Cute town and beautiful drive to Cornell with no traffic and lots of food choices in the area. If you are looking to book it for the pool I would not suggest it but if you need a nice, safe comfortable room with PLENTY of space, comfy beds and a friendly town this would be a great choice.

This was fine for a 2 night stay. The pool is right off the lobby. You smell chlorine as soon as you walk in. We did not use the pool, but our room on the first floor was right next to it and you could hear some pool activity. Nope of this was a problem. The shower curtain did not come down to the floor and there was water on the bathroom floor which made it very slippery. We mopped it up with towels but it seems like this could easily be prevented. Coffee in the am appreciated. Dunkin and gas across the street. May opt for a [lace with breakfast next time,

The hotel staff do their jobs. Looks like they renovated the hotel but done cheaply. The halls are filled with strong air freshener spraying constantly like they are covering up a smell. The first room we got, had water damage in the bathroom and I suspect mold because my chest was tight the next morning after sleeping there and my son started wheezing. That morning, I asked for another room and they gave us that but that room vent in the bathroom was oozing dust, like it hadn’t been clean in years. That night my son asthma flared despite giving him treatment around the clock from when it start and at 4a, I had to take him to the ED. I would not recommend this hotel.

Everything was fine except for the flooring. The imitation wood floor throughout the room (no carpets anywhere) was not clean. No visible dirt, but when I tried to clean up a bit of talcum powder, the kleenex came up black. Similar results in all three places in the room including the bathroom. I showed the desk clerk the tissue upon checking out.

The property is nice, and new, but there is a lot of walking and stairs if you’re staying on the second floor. Very poor layout with stairwells. It’s a very long walk to certain rooms and you can’t use a luggage cart upstairs, so that’s useless. The pool was not open for some reason, and I noticed that the room itself had an ironing board and iron but no plug to plug it in! They were hardly any plugs in the room. There’s a huge mirror in the room entrance but you can’t get ready there and dry your hair or plug in a curling iron because there is no electrical outlets there! The iron and ironing board in the room are useless because there’s nowhere to plug them in. this room was not well thought out. Also, there is no lighting in the kitchen area.

The room was clean and fairly comfortable. The kitchenette was great and the fridge was bigger than expected which was nice. The only “complaint” I have is that although my room had a window, it was frosted over so you couldn’t see through or receive natural light through it… which is good since it was an interior room overlooking the (indoor) swimming pool. Had I stayed for more than one night, I would have asked to move. The facilities were clean, quiet, and located right off the highway.

Convenient to Cortland College. It was clean. We were replaced in a room that did not have a window. There was frosted glass that looked like a window, but led to the pool. Without a window, there is literally no natural light and everything that took place in the pool you could hear through that ‘window’. The bathroom had a sink as if you were in a public restroom with no countertop. It was extremely odd.

However, i had to drive 30 minutes out of the way to find another hotel that cost double the price. When I called red roof in customer service and explained the situation they told me "check in is at 4 and you didnt check in, in time, so we gave your room away."

The hotel was generally okay, but the overpowering smell of bleach or some other chemical when you enter was very unpleasant and off-putting. Our room (#104) had a King bed, but unfortunately, the HVAC system wasn’t working. I called the front desk late at night, and while the staff member said maintenance could look at it in the morning, she also offered to move us to another room. However, no King bed rooms were available, and since it was already past midnight and we were exhausted, we decided to stay in the room we had paid for. The next morning, we reminded the front desk about the HVAC issue, but when we returned for our second night, the problem still wasn’t fixed. The room remained hot and stuffy, making it uncomfortable to sleep. When I politely raised the issue again during checkout, the front desk staff was dismissive, responding with, ‘But you were offered another room.’ While this was technically true, there were no King rooms available, and her attitude made me feel as if I was being unreasonable for expecting the issue to be resolved. I found this response to be quite rude and unhelpful.

We will definitely stay at this hotel again if we are in the area and will definitely like to enjoy their impressive indoor swimming pool next time.

The place was clean and beds were comfortable. However, there were enough small issues that I probably wouldn’t stay there again. The area outside the hotel smelled awful (highways and manure— not the hotels fault but still). The front desk staff were kind of grouchy. We were only given 2 towels for 4 people and they were never changed over a 5 night stay. They advertise coffee in the lobby but it wasn’t prepared anytime I went through. Little things, but overall made for a mediocre stay.
