What a pleasant surprise - I was worried because this hotel had availability when others did not - apparently the reason is the internet reviews of the public spaces - but my goal was a nice night in a clean and comfortable hotel room and I found it! I have very sensitive lungs/allergies and was worried that the room might... more

I honestly don't know what some people who reviewed this hotel are looking for. Granted, it's an older property and shows signs of wear and tear, but it was not filthy or unsafe or disgusting as some of the people here are saying. The pool was not brand new, but the water and the area around the pool were clean.... more

We stayed while dropping or daughter at Cornell. The paking lot is full of pothoes and the exterior looks like a dingy warehouse. The lobby looked once beautiful but now the furnitre was sagged and dirty. I had a reservation for 84.95 per night which I showed the clerk but spent 20 minuets arguing. She wanted to charge 89.95 for... more

This hotel may have been nice 15 years ago but desperately needs a face-lift and better management now. On the plus side, it is a decent size room for less than 90 bucks on AAA rate that's a mile from Cornell. Rooms and public areas are very worn and dirty and because of the large unused public areas at night... more

We stayed here for 2 nights while dropping our daughter off at Cornell. The Good: staff at check in were friendly & helpful. The beds in our room were among the most comfortable we've ever slept on (and we travel often). Two different types of pillows were there as well. Coffee pot in room was a nice touch and there... more

We stayed at the Clarion for three nights for Cornell freshmen move-in weekend. After reading previous reviews, I was dreading what I would find. I even packed Lysol and scented candles in case the room was unbearably stinky. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised as the GOOD made up for the BAD and UGLY. No Lysol or candles needed. GOOD: Really... more

We just returned home from our stay (8/20-8/22). Without a doubt this was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed in. The condition and cleanliness of the hotel is a disgrace and completely unacceptable when being charged $230 a night (it was Cornell University orientation weekend). The hallways are filthy, the furniture in our room was covered with... more

We stayed here on July 17th. I was very nervous about staying here after reading all the reviews. Yes it is seriously rundown outside and inside. The exterior is decaying and the hallways are dark and gloomy. I booked here mainly because it offered a pool for my kids, when we arrived the pool was closed for three days. The... more

My husband and I stayed here last week for one night and one night was all we could take. First we arrived at the hotel and couldn't believe it actually was a hotel. The building looked like a warehouse. The parking lot was full of potholes. No sign indicated where the office was. We drove around the entire hotel and... more
