On the way to Niagara Falls, I wanted to visit the Ivy League Cornell University, so I chose this hotel. It exceeded my expectations. The hotel is very quaint. Although the decoration is a bit old, it is well maintained. The room is big enough, breakfast is provided, and there is free parking. It was a very satisfying stay.

The room was nice, but I don't know where the bugs came from. It's a short drive to Cornell University.

The hotel has plenty of free parking, which is very convenient for self-driving. It was a bit crowded to spread out 2 large suitcases in the room. The bathroom was large. Although the decoration was a bit old, the facilities were all functional. The air conditioning was strong on hot days. The room had a small refrigerator and microwave, which was very convenient. The hot breakfast included bacon and scrambled eggs, and the waffles were delicious. Except for the fact that the front desk wrote the wrong room number on the first day and couldn't open the door, and the door lock couldn't be opened on the second day and needed to go to the front desk to deal with it, everything else was satisfactory.

The room is large, with a refrigerator and microwave, the bathroom is spacious, parking is free, and it is convenient to travel. You can make your own waffles for breakfast. The highlight is that self-service drinks are available 24 hours a day.
