The property was run down, outdated, and had a pungent odor! The bed sheets had multiple bodily secretions, there was mold around the windows, and poop left in the toilet!

The hotel was quite empty and I think the reason is the poor condition. Outside is nice with pool but indoors a lot of cracks in walls, buckets with drainage, and just musty and not like the pictures.

Family friendly hotel
We stayed at the Cayuga Blu for 2 nights in April and had a pleasant experience. We are a family of 5 and stayed in a classic double room and brought our own air mattress. The hotel was clean and the service was nice and friendly. The breakfast was a good classic selection of hot and cold items and was satisfying. The hotel could definitely use some updating and some repairs in spots but overall, we had a very nice stay and would stay again.

The hotel was very nice and clean. The bathroom fixtures could definitely use an update, but the room furnishings were nice. They might want to splurge a bit more on toilet paper and tissues. Although we didn't eat it, breakfast looked great. The only real negative was that the outside doors, all around the property, are unlocked for anyone to walk in.

This hotel was a great price for this town. The accommodations and breakfast were excellent. Our room was a significant walk from the front desk so the staff recommended driving to a different entrance, which we did. However, there was no elevator there. We made several trips up the stairs with our stuff... Okay for us, but may have been very inconvenient for others.

I’m not sure but it seems this property was just being reopened. Inside was clean, staff was EXTREMELY friendly. Breakfast buffet was amazing. Pool area was very nice and clean. They planted flowers in all the outdoor flower boxes. Room and bathroom was clean. Had a friendly hand written note from the house cleaner. However, when we pulled up the motel, the first thing you see is an unkept ally way leading tot he back of the building. Weeds and over grown trees. I was a little worried. So if they clean up the front a little and the side alley a bit…..otherwise it really was an enjoyable stay.

Great value! This is my second time staying here and never found a reason to complain. The breakfast was fresh and had many options. Loved playing corn hole next to the pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Located right in front of the mall which was super convenient to be able to grab supplies at Target.
