Great staff but…

Staff were amazing, but the property was dated! Dresser had a block of wood under one of the legs, odd piece of paper under bedside table leg and bedside table drawer would not stay closed, so we kept hitting it! Not enough parking for number of rooms

The housecleaning was not uniform. One day no towels, next day they left our dirty towels. And left pillows on the floor after making the bed.

We booked this hotel for a family get away because it had a water park on n it we arrived and the hotel clerk charged my son for three nights we only stayed two. We then asked about the pool and water park and was told we had to go next door the use their pool and the water park was only opened on weekends we stayed Tuesday Wednesday I would not have booked the hotel had this all been disclosed before hand. The desk clerk that was on that first night was down right rude to a customer about parking he was not being nasty just asking where he could park she became nasty he asked for her manager and refused to get one told him to come back after 9 when the restaurant closed and he could possibly find parking I will never use this hotel again and I would have since my grandson is going to college there for next 4 years. In the mean time my sister n has to wait 10 days to get his money back due to her error. I will let others know not to do business with this hotel.

Room was very nice and clean. Bed was comfy. A/C was just ok. It cycles off and on. Took awhile to cool the room and i don't think it ever hit the temp we selected. (A/C is always a top consideration in my rating). Breakfast was very good. Very friendly staff, especially the breakfast lady.

We had 2 rooms as we added days to our stay. First off there is no pool like the pic shows. That’s been changed to the splash water park. Which is only open on weekends. So be mindful of that. Our first room was a queen bed on the fourth floor. It was nice ac was almost to Cold but they like it cold up there. No complaints here. Shower head could have been a little higher as I’m 5-7 but it was just a little lower than I’d like but the pressure made up for it. The second room. I almost asked to change rooms. The hallway and room had a musky musty smell to it. The ac in that suite had 2. 1 that barely worked at all and 1 that was so loud we had to turn it off to sleep. When I told them at checkout that she just said “we will have it replaced “ maybe they already are planning that. Because it’s so old how would they have not known it made that sound prior to us staying. You walk in and hear it. Turn it off and when you turn it back on it’s even louder. Being a sunny room you need the ac there. They did provide bowls and plates and all in the suite. Old couch and chair that should definitely be updated. When I pulled the sheet out a kids drawing came out with it. Like stuffed between the sheets. So makes me wonder if they changed them at all. Or just the bottom one. The restaurant has great staff but not much difference in food from around the area. The food was Decent and they had music one night we were there until like 10 pm. Lots to do around here.

I paid for two queen beds. The beds were obviously fulls. I called reception and was rudely told no they are queens. The hallways and room smelled like smoke. The chairs in the room were filthy. I wouldn’t even place luggage on them. There was an envelope left on the table for us to leave a tip for house keeping. That is rude. There was a glass door to the outside parking lot. The blinds did not work at the top and so all night our room was bright enough to read from the outside lights. We got to hear car alarms go off a few times. The actual window in the room had curtains that did not actually cover the whole window. Although checkin was fast they didn’t seem very caring. It was very fast which I appreciate but maybe ask “how are you?” “Did you come far?” Anything other then “I need your license, credit card, and license plate”. The hallways smelled like smoke, mildew, and garbage. This stay was meant to be a special treat with my daughter while we checked out SUNY Oswego. It didn’t feel that way at all and left me sorry I wasted my money. I almost would have rather just turned around and drove the 7 hours home.

The rooms are in need up an update. Smelled like old air conditioner/musty in the room. We were on the 2nd floor (which is partially underground). I went down to the first floor (also partially underground) to get ice and it smelled even worse in the hallway, mix of musty/mold and cigarette smoke. Breakfast was nice.

Comfortable and Clean

The staff were all very nice and friendly Bed was comfortable. Shower head is very low. If you are taller then 5' 8" you will need to squat or bend over. Continental breakfast was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than donuts. The even had an almond milk option.
