As I got into town on the day of check-in, I was passing by the Inn anyway so I stopped in to see if my room was ready. It was 1:30 pm and check-in was stated at 3:00 pm. While I did not get my hopes up for early check-in, I was met at the front desk with a very rude woman while she was on her cellphone yelling at someone else. She informed me with a very stern voice that check-in is at 3:00 pm. She claimed the rooms were being cleaned. Well, after I was able to check-in, the cleaning part of her statement was a lie. The room was filthy, including dirty carpets, dust everywhere, work desk half wiped, cobwebs along the walls, lamp shades, heater. The cupboard had an open bag of chips with some kind of liquid spill in the cupboard as well as on the fridge. If I ordered the insurance, I would have canceled the room when I first tried to see if the room was ready after the interaction with whom I’m guessing was the owner with her demeanor, oh and her Subaru park job under the underpass where normally guests would offload their luggage. Pretty obvious she’s not there for the guests. The two other personal I spoke with during my stay were pleasant, but I would guess they won’t last long with the current management. The heated pool was freezing, not to mention the algae in the pool. The fitness room, again dirty with dust and what looked like sweat stains on the equipment as well as on the floor. Lesson learned.

My girlfriend and I were in the Cortland area for a baby shower in Freeville, as we live almost 3 hours away (Schenectady area), and staying overnight was a no-brainer since driving almost 200 miles one way was enough for anyone to be tired; so in preparations for our trip, I went on hotels.com to book a 1 night stay at the Best Western Plus Finger Lakes hotel. After checking out and heading home, here’s what I have to say: Checking into the hotel was relatively easy, but noticed issues with the staff lacking professionalism from the start. The check-in clerk was wearing a SUNY Cortland T shirt, with a durag; if he wasn’t sitting at the front desk, we could have mistaken from for a patron, let alone hotel staff. He was nice, but not very hospitable. Didn’t tell us much about the hotel, where the elevators were, we practically were on our own at that point. You’d think working at a BW they would be in company-branded apparel, and be more hospitable, but apparently not here. It’s sad really. The room itself was reasonably clean, we didn’t see anything concerning like prior posts on here about the rooms; everything worked. AC was good but needed a dusting, toilet worked, shower was OK, but the TV we had: the remote had issues, and it was hard to navigate. But for one night; whatever. I did notice that the elevators are slower than molasses in an igloo, that was evident as mentioned.

As a quick staycation, this was a great hotel for the value. You could tell that the few staff were working double duty to ensure a great experience and pulled that off. The room was clean and spacious. While generally quiet, the rooms above were rather loud. Breakfast had a good variety with hot options like a waffle maker, eggs, sausage, bagels and toast. Along with yogurt, fruit, muffins, and cereal, plus assorted beverages. I think the only real complaint was that the pool water was quite chilly. We managed to get in, but at least 5 degrees warmer would help immensely.

Parking convenient and secure. Had a king room and the mattress was terrible. Very lumpy. Inadequate sheets and no blanket. Breakfast had limited selection of foods and the fruit was in bad condition. Coffee was good. Staff were pleasant and friendly.

To pay almost $400 per night - due to price gouging for "parents' weekend" of which I was not part - and not be able to shower due to the lack of water (a pathetic trickle only) is criminal. Stay somewhere else.

The stairwell to the room was simply gross. Stains, food, and nose waste on the walls and floor. Several dead bees at the side exit, inside. Spills on the wall in my room. Black marks on one bed pillow. Pull out couch sheets were not changed from last guest. Clogged tub, low water pressure. TV would not stream from my phone as indicated. On a positive note, staff were pleasant and the location was close to stores and food chains. No where near the quality expected given what we paid per night. Will not stay again.

We atayed here two years ago and it was a great, clean, well kept hotel. This time was very different. The staff were talking loudly about a problem when i was waiting to check in. The carpets were filthy. The room smelled of cat urine. They put me in the room closest to the lobby and it was loud as the night went on. Breakfast was the same both days with rubbery sausage and brown oranges along witg stale bagels in sandwich bags. We wont be back. Very disappointed.
