lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent out-of-the-ordinary stay

Excellent service with genuine warmth, the opposite of "corporate vibes". If something's not ideal, talking to the staff is all it takes to make it right. The beds are superb, which is my #1 consideration in a hotel. The rooms are on the small side, but since I wasn't spending a lot of time in the room, this wasn't a problem for me. The location is great for visiting Cornell and downtown isn't too far either.
6-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
