It was conveniently located and easy to get to. It was a great value.
Pros:

I had to depart before breakfast was available.
I appreciated being able to grab a bowl of cold cereal, a banana and bagel.

Cons:

My room was right next to the exit making it very convenient.
But the outer exit door was not secure. It did not seem safe as anyone could walk into the building.

Pros:

This was an amazing hotel—very old school, very 70s, very rural America. I’m sure it will develop a cult following. That aside, it was clean and tidy, and the staff were very friendly. By the way, the sausage at breakfast was amazingly good.

Let’s make it a Cornell tradition to go to Cayuga Blu.
