The staff was warm and friendly, making the stay enjoyable. However, the room could have been cleaner, as I noticed some debris and unkempt areas. Breakfast options were decent, but certain amenities felt outdated, like the vacuuming that disturbed my rest.

This hotel suits me perfectly with great wi-fi, free parking, and a helpful 24-hour reception. The staff once guided me on the best taxi to take. Highly recommend it for your stay. I’m coming back for Easter!

great cleanliness but limited dining options

The room was spotless which spoke to the high standards of the cleaning staff. We particularly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the lobby, making it a pleasant spot to relax.

The dining options were somewhat limited during our stay.

We had a wonderful time exploring the Finger Lakes while enjoying our stay. The breakfast was a standout with plenty of options, and the staff were attentive, especially the breakfast server who kept everything stocked and tidy.

My kids wished the pool had better supervision.

Families looking for clean and comfy stay should give this a shot

Laid back vibe with lots of clean spaces. I mean, the breakfast server lady? She's a legend, always on top of it, made our mornings smoother. Just watching her in action was excellent.

It wasn’t exactly cheap, but you know, for what we got it was still pretty fair.

Clean rooms and good breakfast. check-in was slow.

This stay exceeded my expectations after previous trips to cortland. The beds were insanely comfortable, like floating on clouds. I loved the fresh breakfast options and how clean everything was.

the pool was a bit crowded.

Nice clean stay!

We had a cool two nights with the fam! The breakfast was a hit, especially the pancake machine. Everyone at check-in was super friendly. Our room was clean, but we found a bit of trash behind the couch when we opened up the pullout bed. Overall, pretty comfy stay!

Recommend for one night

Comfortable room, outstanding service, with a great breakfast that kept us energized for our day of exploration and access to free parking made it super convenient to visit local attractions.

I was visiting my son at SUNY Cortland and ended up staying for one night. The food at breakfast was surprisingly good with lots of options like eggs, pancakes, and yogurt. The room was clean, which I appreciated, as well as the helpful staff at check-in.

I had a solid experience at the Holiday Inn Express in Cortland. The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, which made a great first impression. The breakfast was a standout feature with plenty of options, including hot cinnamon rolls and various egg dishes. The coffee served was also surprisingly good. Check-in was fast, and the staff were friendly throughout the stay. However, there were a few downsides. The gym felt cramped and only had a few machines, making it hard for multiple guests to use it at once. I also encountered some noise from the hallway and above my room, which interrupted my sleep at times. The pool was a little smaller than I expected, and it was lukewarm during my visit. Overall, it feels like there’s potential that isn’t fully realized yet, but the breakfast and staff friendliness definitely made up for some of the shortcomings.

The Holiday Inn Express provided a very comfortable stay. The room was clean, well-appointed, and included a 32-inch flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The location is ideal, with easy access to Route 81 and close proximity to downtown Cortland. The complimentary breakfast was a great start to the day, featuring a variety of options. The staff was friendly and efficient, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere during my business trip.

Some areas of the hotel showed signs of wear.

The hotel had beautiful decor, with a lovely lounge area and cozy fireplace that created a warm atmosphere, perfect for relaxation. The accessible layout made it easy for me to navigate throughout the building without any hassle.

Improve cleanliness in hallways and rooms.

Clean rooms and friendly staff. Checked in quickly. Pool too small and often crowded. Convenient for local dining options like Perkins and close to a golf course.
