Price is Right Hotel

This is the second time I stayed here. The best thing about this place is the location being just a 5 minute drive to Cornell University. The breakfast was good , and had a number of choices. The price was always right here. Cheap , not fancy , motel type . Had a mini fridge and microwave in the room. My only complaint about this place is, the outside doors that lead into hotel are not card locked. So anyone off the street can walk into the corridors at any anytime. Which raises security concerns.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good place for the price. Room was very clean, but slightly worn. Main complaint was that we booked a room with a fireplace and couldn’t get the fireplace to work (no extra charge). Will be returning to the area in a month. Would consider staying there again.
Joan, 1-night trip

Comfortable hotel for a family of 6 adults.
