This hotel has a great location, particularly if you want to visit Cornell. Our only complaint was that the queen sized bed was against a wall, making it inconvenient for one person to get out.

Love staying at the dorm. It is right on Cornell campus with on site parking. Rooms are a bit on the small side but charming decorations and impeccably clean. Love the living room in the lobby with beer bar, cozy couches games and books. We enjoyed outside back deck and played cards and enjoyed takeout dinner out there. Staff is wonderful

Check-in was smooth, and they accommodated my request for a room I had previously stayed in, which I appreciated. I’ve stayed here numerous times and have always had great experiences. This stay was lovely overall, but there was one unpleasant moment around 10:45 a.m. when housekeeping knocked and then entered the room while I was changing, despite my asking who was there. Aside from that, everything else was excellent.
