“I noted this property's location near SUNY Cortland and Cornell University as potentially useful for campus visits. The onsite Perkins Restaurant, open 24 hours, is a distinct advantage, but reports of maintenance issues raise concerns. Budget-conscious travelers may find value, assuming the hotel addresses cleanliness and upkeep.”
