Would never stay here again.
Pros:

Nothing - would never stay here again. Scary, felt unsafe, dirty, poorly maintained, door damaged, too many issues to list…

Cons:

I did not like anything about this hotel. Definite price gouging, not worth $100 per night, I felt unsafe, the room was dirty and if it wasn’t for my son visiting Cornell I would have not stayed. By far my worst hotel experience in many years.

Nice, cozy and very comfortable stay
Pros:

Over all it was an amazing experience.

Cons:

Nothing of that very important. I only had one incident which i would like to see better managed is the key card . When i reached back after the pool around 10:45 key card didn’t worked , then i had to go to reception again to keep it activated and my family was waiting outside the room door until i reach back with the key.
