this hotel was easily the worst hotel I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. first of all, I was fooled by the pictures that showed the pool, probably like fifty years ago. This one stairwell, I thought that there were cigarettes inside the vents or something because it smelled so much of tobacco. The breakfast service was... More

Disgusting. Can't stress enough how bad this place is. It's filthy, run down and the smell of mold, filth and smoke is everywhere. Seriously, stay away from this place. If this is the only place available (as it happened in our case for the 20th year reunion at Cornell) consider not going, use the dorms or even your car). Just... More

The first night the heating didnt work. The temperature outside was around 25. We slept in all our clothes. The breakfast was un-eatable and served on paper plates with plastic knives and forks. There is no food served after breakfast. The outlook from the hotel is on one side on to a set of electrical transformers. The staff did their... More

We stayed at this Clarion the night of February 8, 2013. It is not as bad as some of the reviews indicate. It is in need of upgrading, especially the lobby and hallways. The room was fine, clean and everything worked. Some reviews were concerned about safety of the location. I didn't see a problem. It is off I-81 in... More

To be honest I have not even stayed at this place yet but judging by the look of it I won't be staying there. Hotwire calls this place a 3 star, same rating a Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn. So when I booked through Hotwire I thought it would be one of the previously mentioned hotels downtown. When this place... More

This is an awful hotel; outdated, scary, and in a horrible location. I felt extremely unsafe staying here. The first room they gave me was littered with grime, dirt, and renovation materials. The second, on the lower level next to the parking lot, was located down a dark, dingy hallway that I felt I'd be attacked from at any second.... More

If you didn't know that this was the hotel your booking was at, you'd think it was deserted. The outside is in shambles, and if you had a low-profile car, you wouldn't be able to drive through the parking lot because it is so awful and full of pot holes. The room was not much better, with wallpaper pealing, drywall... More

At first sight, curb appeal was the first warning to me that this place was not up to my standards. The outside was not cared for. The siding and style was reminiscent of the 1950's and looked like it hadn't been cared for since then. Lobby was fine and inviting enough. When we were directed to our room, I became... More

I was a little apprehensive about staying here given all the bad reviews but it was the only place we could get for a price that wasn't out of sight. We stayed there one night in August 2012 on Cornell's dormitory move-in day. Most of the hotels wanted you to stay 3 nights and they wanted way too much. The... More
