The room was nice, but I don't know where the bugs came from. It's a short drive to Cornell University.

The hotel has plenty of free parking, which is very convenient for self-driving. It was a bit crowded to spread out 2 large suitcases in the room. The bathroom was large. Although the decoration was a bit old, the facilities were all functional. The air conditioning was strong on hot days. The room had a small refrigerator and microwave, which was very convenient. The hot breakfast included bacon and scrambled eggs, and the waffles were delicious. Except for the fact that the front desk wrote the wrong room number on the first day and couldn't open the door, and the door lock couldn't be opened on the second day and needed to go to the front desk to deal with it, everything else was satisfactory.
