This place is a dump with a bunch of druggies in the parking lot!! it is definitely not worth $135 a night! It is the grossest place. I’ve stayed in a long time!
We didn’t even end up checking in. Found a different hotel. There’s a reason the only way to book is paying in full up front. Other people choose to not check in as well.
This is for someone who has no other options in Cortland. Crack addicts in the parking lot, dirty/rundown rooms, sketchy area, they came to kick us out of the room 15 minutes before checkout and stood there while we loaded our car. No bed bugs - that was a plus - otherwise, avoid unless you can't afford a real hotel room.
The tub was filthy, the room was supposed to be non smoking but it didnt smell that way. Couldnt get the tv to work, And the place housed the homeless. I didnt feel safe at all.

The mattresses are super hard, I got no sleep and in the morning felt like I was run over by a truck. Not comfortable. The room was decent, we only stayed one night so we dealt with it fine. If they get softer beds I would consider staying here again.
This place is close to plenty of dining options, easy to park and find your room, staff is friendly and helpful but most of all the rooms are quiet and clean which is super inviting and leaves an lasting impression of service and attention.
Basically it's a "get what you pay for" and less! In dire need of updating. Non smoking room with cigarette burn holes in the bedding. No continental breakfast available, no one even at the desk in the a.m. to inquire about coffee. Homeless people going through the dumpster, only 2 cars in the parking lot. Slept with the chair in front of my door because I didn't feel too safe!
