I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and not cramped like other city hotels. They were very clean and had a modern design, complete with a mini-fridge and pod coffee maker. The service was top-notch, with incredibly professional and friendly staff always ready to assist. The location couldn’t have been better right in the heart of the Cornell campus. The dining options were excellent, offering a wide range of choices. The facilities were superb, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The dining was very good in the hotel restaurant, offering a wide range of options. Overall, a great choice for a visit to Cornell.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were well-equipped with modern facilities and provided excellent amenities, but cleanliness seemed to be an issue. The hotel offered great food and services, but there were some inconsistencies in the knowledge of staff when it came to recommendations. The location was convenient for both exploring on foot and driving to nearby attractions, although being dependent on bus transportation could be a drawback.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and had a view of the stunning Cornell Campus, they were nothing extraordinary. The room was comfortable overall, but the noisy sliding bathroom door was quite bothersome, giving a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Waking the dead'. The service provided by Cornell Hotel students and professional staff was top-notch and extremely professional, helpful, and friendly. The location is unbeatable, especially for those affiliated with Cornell, with everything within walking distance on the hilly campus, though parking is limited. The dining experience was excellent, particularly at Banfi, offering a wonderful stay over 11 nights. The facilities were adequate, contributing to a satisfactory stay.
