“One word - fleas!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at the Days Inn while driving home for the holidays because it's so convenient to 81S and it accepts pets, so my dog could come home, too. I checked in close to midnight and was planning on sleeping until 10:00 a.m. because I'd been driving for so long and check-out wasn't until 11:00 a.m. The room was spotless and the bed was really comfortable.

Everything was fine until around 9:00, when the housekeeping staff decided to have a really loud conversation outside of my door with the "Do Not Disturb" sign on it. Then, they decided to vacuum the hallway outside my room. Finally, more conversation outside my room. I'm not sure if this was intentional to get me to leave early, but there was certainly no way that my room was desperately needed, especially since it was still an hour before check-out. It was so rude and inconsiderate. I realize housekeeping (and I think the manager was there, too) have a job to do, but surely it does not have to be done right outside a room with the "Do Not Disturb" sign. There was no place else in the entire hotel to converse?

I might have been able to get over this, even though I was so tired. I probably would have stayed there again because it was so convenient and the price is great. Then I noticed that I was itchy and covered with welts. At first, I feared bedbugs, but bedbugs don't cause giant welts like this. Fleas do. At last count, I currently have more than one dozen fleabites and, as soon as I got to my parents' house, had to do wash everything that had been in the room for fear of fleas getting in their house. Yes, I had my dog with me. No, he does not have fleas, thankfully. I'm the only one who gets to suffer from this.

Room Tip: Just avoid it - fleas aren't worth it!

“Fills basic needs & very convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

Economically priced for an older "typical" small town hotel. Clean and friendly staff. Very convenient to all small towns in area. 15-25 mins of gorgeous drives. Cortland is really a lovely older town with many new amenities. breakfast was basic - bananas, apples, juice, coffee, toast, bagels and some sugary pastries. Yes it is a small eating area - but fills a need for a little food before you are on your way. If you are looking for a place to spend a lot of time at - lounging in the hotel and lobby - this is not the place. If you need a place to sleep and go again - don't hesitate! I was down for soccer nationals at Dryden college and spent a lot of time visiting and driving the areas of Ithaca, cortland and dryden.

“Clean, convenient to highway, friendly, safe!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

person found this review helpful

After a terrible stay at Days Inn Binghamton the night before, my family stayed here after dropping my son off to college at Cornell. I was so relieved that the Inn was clean. The rooms were roomy, we had 2 queens, (average comfort beds) and the wireless internet was free and easy to use. Breakfast in the morning found plentiful coffee, juice, and an assorment of breads, cereals, fruit, etc...Very convenient to Cornell/Ithaca, maybe a 20-25 drive along a country road(after you get through the major shopping area with Wal-Mart/Lowes, K-Mart, which came in handy for picking up so needed things for the dorm room). Dinner at Uncle Louies (ribs/cheesecake) was yummy!

“Outstanding Day's Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2011

While the pet fee was a little high at $20, at least it was not only pet friendly but had parking for tractor-trailers. The check-in was quite and the personnel was very courteous and made sure I got the best discount they could offer. We got a room with the king-size bed but what a surprise! The room was unusually spacious compared to others we have been in. Bed, desk, table and 2 chairs, wardrobe, smaller table, fridge, coffee maker - as well as the hair dryer and ironing board. The room was very neat and clean and there were plenty of large towels for a change! TV reception and a goodly amount of channels and a very quick internet! Complimentary breakfast in the morning as well. Highly recommend this hotel!!

“Stay in your car instead. Thank God this is for one night.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2011 via mobile

Set aside that Cortland is yet another dead town in central New York, and as a result lodging is at a premium. This dump is likely the bar that others in the area set for themselves. It is old. Cigarette smoke oozes through the hallways. The hallways are dank (i always wondered when I would use this word), the rooms are sparse, bathrooms the size of a small closet, tube tv from 1989, in fact this place hasn't seen new carpeting furniture or paint since Reagans first term. There is no recreation area, too close to the highway and the neighborhood is what is clearly a more ignored part of this town. Stay home, try binghamton, Syracuse or try to stay in one of the newer places in Cortland proper but the demand is high. I cannot wait to get our of this dump.
