It's old, dingy, and smelly. My first room smelled like vomit. Fortunately, they were able to move me. Everything was old, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They were apologetic about the room and gave me a discount coupon for future stays. If you're desperate, this hotel is safe.

Positives: The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The whole hotel and especially the rooms, smelled awful.

We stayed at one of your hotel changes in vestal nay on February 5th 2007 I have never stayed any where. That was so unorganized in my entire life first let me start off by saying that when we booked this room the room was supposed to come with a microwave oven and a refrigerator and we had neither. The room was so cold that my daughter got sick a room should be more than 58 degrees when its 15 below outside we could of slept in the hall way and been warmer. There was no heat in the bathroom and your drive well you need skis to get in and out of that. We also had to go out at 11pm to the front desk and get towels because we only had 1 in the bathroom. Needless to say we will never ever stay at your hotel again and will not recommend your hotel to anyone. Room # 121 Daniel & Lisa smith.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: The heat didn't work.

This was an acceptable accommodation for the price. I didn't have breakfast there b/c it closed at 9:00 which I thought was kind of early. We stayed at economy lodge the following night and they closed breakfast at 10:30. Friendly staff though.

Positives: Good price, good location, helpful staff.

Negatives: No cribs for children, bed not comfortable.

My two sisters and I shared a double bed room and had a really fun time. Hotel was easy to find, near other amenities and generally clean. Balcony allowed easy access for one to smoke outside. We had fun in the outdoor pool that had a smooth liner- no brush burns on feet or knees. No breakfast available at 9:50 AM - even coffee was out. Overall, it was a good value for us and met our modest needs for central location, price & amenities. We would stay there again .

Positives: The outdoor pool was clean & available into the evening.

Negatives: Saw a couple of flying ants in the room; poor breakfast svc.

Grounds were very nice and staff was friendly. location was great and price was right. I understand they are in the process of updating so when that is done I'd like to try it again.

Positives: Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Negatives: Needs to be modernized - didn't like key for doors into building and then swipe cards for room doors.

This hotel cannot be beat for the price. a terrific value. Sure, there is constant traffic on the Parkway, but sit poolside and look in the other direction: lovely green mountains that give the sense of a remote setting.

Positives: A small-town friendliness, esp. in the face of lost records.

Negatives: Difficult traffic situation on the Vestal Parkway.

Everything was great but they wanted $11.00 more per night for 2 double beds rather that one King sized bed.

Positives: Location, friendly staff and the pool.

Negatives: Could not switch to two double beds.
