Not quite a Hampton Inn but more expensive

It's fine. I like the St Lawrence University focus, they own it. And the gym is nice. More inviting common areas to hangout - both inside and outside would be welcome. Rooms pretty basic, the bathroom is small. Overall, it seems a bit pricey for what it is.
