John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very close to waterfalls, Cornell campus, restaurants. Our bed was comfy, fireplace and Jacuzzi were great additions. Breakfast options were great, clean and well attended. Sadly our non-smoking room and towels smelled like cigarettes. Our shower pipes were loose, drippy and hard to control temperature.
