I loved the college-themed decor! The place was very clean and comfortable. I arrived in the middle of the night and the instructions for late check-in worked perfectly. Although it's in Cornell country, this was perfect for a visit to Ithaca college too. I'll definitely book here again!

The facilities were very clean and exactly what we needed for one night. We didn't like the very loud party that was taking place on the third floor that kept us up until 3am with no consideration for other guests.

The room was small and the bed was against a wall which made it difficult for one person to get in and out. The room was relatively small much like a dorm room, but we had all that we needed and it was close to campus and downtown. The staff was great.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is located right off the edge of the West Campus and was easy to find. The decor was very unique and fun. The common area had a microwave, fridge, coffee, tea, to-go snacks for purchase, as well as craft beer and wine on tap. Joanne, at the front desk, was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was cute and the bed was comfortable as well. I really enjoyed my stay. My only complaint is that I couldn't open my window and let the cold air in, therefore I found the room a bit warm, especially while sleeping, even with the AC on.

Overall it was a great place to stay if you are visiting Cornell. The front desk could be more responsive in terms of customers requests. For the key pickup instructions they could provide a picture along with the instructions to clarify in the future.

I stayed at the dorm hotel in a single room. It really did look just like a dorm room. The hotel is very cute and set up nicely. I only wish it had coffee all day. The coffee service doesn’t start until 8 AM which for me was pretty late.

Pleasantly Surprised!
I have to admit I was skeptical of this place due to the name but was pleasantly surprised. It was clean, well appointed, beds were so comfortable, and cozy, not to mention cute. If I am back in town, I'll definitely stay there again.
