HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof & Conference Center Cortland

Advertised as an extended stay hotel, we found NOTHING in the room that could be used for cooking or eating. We found out only as we were checking out that there were kits available with the things we needed - plates, silverware, etc. Seems like the clerk fell down on the job at check in. That's kind of immaterial, since the room had a BIG window that, when the curtains were opened, revealed frosted glass overlooking a dark workroom/storage area The room had NO SUNLIGHT - NONE. We put up with living in a dungeon for a week because someone apparently didn't think we needed to be able to see the sky or enjoy natural light. But back to the "kitchenette". No lights - we had to move a floor lamp to have enough light to be able to see what we were doing. And ONE duplex outlet, which was shared between the refrigerator (which had never been leveled), under powered microwave, and coffee pot. And the highlight of our week: the false fire alarm that went off at around midnight. And the non-working card lock on the swimming pool door. And the repulsive scent of whatever stink-um was sprayed in the automated dispensers in the hallway. And the inability to change anything about the AC/heater. And a general lack of power outlets throughout the room. The cleaning staff was more pleasant and helpful than all but one of the front desk crew.

First, they gave us a room even without cleaning from previous stay. Further, the room we stay was at 1st floor, the carpet is dirty, not sure if they cleaned has been cleaned before. The whole room was moist, made us very uncomfortable vs the price we paid.

Very Clean, older updated hotel Stayed here to drop my son off to SUNY Cortland for two nights; was exceedingly clean, and well cared for. The lack of an elevator is something significant; so don’t pack bags heavy, and there is only one luggage cart which did not appear at all during my two day stay.
