Breakfast options were good enough. Beds were good. Internet was spotty. Would be a great place if cleanliness was a priority. Wall paper around the ac unit was peeling off and mold was forming enough to give a musty smell in the room. What appeared to be alien snot or some other bodily fluid flung on the wall that you had to look at while in bed, seemed apparent enough the cleaning staff should have seen and addressed. Some better management and this place would be very nice.

The stay was okay. The toilet seat was broke and the water in the toilet was running. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. I just think the hotel can use some upgrades. Also, there is no elevator.

Friday afternoon, 5/16, the worker behind desk (male, glasses, no name tag)was a pretty big jerk at check in. Ridiculously unhelpful to the woman in front of me on line.

Comfortable beds and nice-sized rooms that were clean. I liked the fact that it adjoins the Perkins restaurant. I will happily recommend this hotel. The area surrounding the hotel is a bit depressing, but the location is good as it provides quick access to Homer and Cortland.
