Bravo For Housekeeping
Hotel housekeepers seem to be flexible, polite, and friendly. For example, if you prefer not to have your room cleaned, you may find a stack of nicely folded towels in a basket outside your door for your use without asking. In general, the entire staff are also accommodating as well. They offer comfort and security and greet you with goodies like coffee and cookies.

A Mix Of A Rural/Urban Setting
The hotel has created an urban setting in a rural area. They have established their own little oasis, which is not only pleasant but unique as well.

No Reason For Boredom
There is plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby the facility. The location is especially convenient if you are visiting colleges in the vicinity. The NYS thruway is nearby along with a top-rated art institute, historical sites, and scrumptious Italian food.

It's Too Hot Or Too Cold
There seems to be a bit of electrical/technical difficulties at times. For example, you may find the heating/fan system has a problem balancing the temperature in your room. It's either too hot or too cold.

You Can Hear All Over
As with many hotels, the walls are quite thin. Don't be surprised to hear people next door or above you talking or walking around.
negative:
GPS Mix-Up
You might find that the hotel is hard to locate if you are using a GPS system. For some reason, the facility is tricky to find; however, this does not appear to be the fault of the hotel and is being taken care of.
