Great place to stay if you are connected to the university.
Pros:

Great location, loved being right on campus.

Cons:

Not quite as polished and highbrow as I expected; Front desk didn't seem to know that it was Cornell Days; No little store to grab little essentials like water, toothpaste, etc. -- this would have been especially nice after the bookstore closes. Otherwise, you need to leave campus to find those things.
