The Dorm Hotel

the location was outstanding. it was clean, quite, efficient, comfortable bed and bathroom. the temperature and lighting were adjustable. the toiletries were good. The staff in the evening when we arrived was very helpful and made sure we could get in after hours. we could keep food in a communal fridge which was helpful. there was coffee and tea.

The whole vibe here is amazing if you’re a fan of Cornell. The room and amenities are thoughtfully designed and everything is high quality. I even think some of the furniture is from when it was a dorm for the law school, and I love that’s it’s founded and run by a Hotelie!! I’ve stayed in many nice hotels and air bnbs and this is at the top of my list. The bed is extremely comfortable and the room smells amazing, there are so many small touches that show how much attention to detail was given, like the light switches being reachable from the bed and able to be dimmer or brighter. There is beer on tap down in the main lobby (that you pay for with your key card haha) and a great space to hang out with friends, so many really awesome things I can’t even list them all. I will absolutely stay here again when I return to Ithaca.

Very nicely decorated on a Cornell theme (no surprise), an open tab bar which is very varied, and nice after a day of work; access to free coffee in the morning, and hot water all day to make tea, as well as a communal fridge and microwave. Rooms are rather small but well organised. Rather quiet, ample parking and easy access to the Cornell Campus and Ithaca center city. Friendly and polite staff.

No breakfast but morning coffee and small snacks to purchase. This was quite clear with the booking. Staff was friendly and bent over backwards to be helpful such as bringing an extra chair to our room. The common room was wonderful to gather with our friends and to have interesting conversations with fellow guests.

This is, the best hotel if you’re travelling to Cornell University, or seek a temporal stay like myself. For starters, the location of the hotel is within five minutes walking to Cornell Campus, and five minutes walking to College Town. The staff members are exceptional, super attentive, and empathetic. The owner, the manager and the front desk member are all in someway related to Cornell, or attended Cornell in the past, and understand the situation of Cornell students. They have done me a great favor, and I want to at least show my appreciation here. The common area has beverage on-demand and free morning coffee & tea. It has an elevator, a laundry room and keyless room cards. Parking is included if available. Finally, for everything this location has to offer, the price is unparalleled, and I guarantee you that you would want to come back next time!
