Pros:

The bedding, blankets, and towels were exceptionally clean and well maintained. In many hotels, even luxury ones, you often find pilling or signs of wear on the bedding and towels, but everything here was in perfect condition.
I have stayed at many hotels, and this is truly the best one I have ever experienced. Most five-star hotels offer a similar level of service and facilities, but this hotel stands out in a remarkable way. The quality and cleanliness of the bedding and towels are simply world-class and, in my opinion, among the best in the world.

A wonderful stay at the Statler hotel at Cornell University
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel on May 19 for one night. An excellent hotel located right on the Cornell University campus, making it extremely convenient for exploring the university. The hotel was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with outstanding service throughout our stay.

During check-in, the Senior Manager Michael happened to be training interns and staff at the front desk. He was exceptionally friendly and professional, patiently and thoroughly explaining every procedure and detail to the employees. It was very impressive to see such dedication and professionalism in action.

Our room was upgraded to a tower view, and the scenery outside the window was absolutely beautiful — expansive green lawns, stunning campus towers, and a perfect view of the sunset.

We were extremely satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cornell University.
