The rooms are small but take care of your needs. Very clean, tidy, newly renovated with thought and care to modern needs, capitalize on technology to provide extra comforts.
Laurie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved it, here! Lots of great dining options within a 10min walk. Lots of hills, in town.. good to walk off those calories and long hours in a car.
Julie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I got lucky and got the junior suite, it’s in its own building in the back. Used to be a garage, the owner converted into a cute little place, with a small kitchenette. The only thing I would suggest is having a peep hole since I was by myself in the back, and or a screen door. I used the laundry room, which you can get quarters from the front desk. The price is reasonable and very close to the campus.
Saifon, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

It’s a cozy and nice place, walking distance to the university and 4 min drive to downtown
Georges, 2-night trip

Traci, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean, whimsically decorated, and close to campus. We loved the self-service beer taps and free parking.
Roberta, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed here as part of a visit to Cornell. Located at the very bottom of the campus - it is a short climb up to campus. Dorm hotel is unique (in my opinion) and exactly as described. Rooms are very small, small bathroom. Just enough room for a bed and a desk. It was tight with two people but quite doable. Very clean. Perfect for a summer visit. I enjoyed and would definitely stay here again.
