Love staying at the dorm. It is right on Cornell campus with on site parking. Rooms are a bit on the small side but charming decorations and impeccably clean. Love the living room in the lobby with beer bar, cozy couches games and books. We enjoyed outside back deck and played cards and enjoyed takeout dinner out there. Staff is wonderful

Desk staff are always friendly and efficient. Rooms are always clean and beds consistently comfortable. Room 308 could use a chair as the only thing to sit on is the small desk chair. Love to stay at the Dorm Hotel!

A fantastic place to stay! The Junior Suite with a separate entrance, kitchen, and dining area was the perfect place for me to work while my child visited Cornell. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating!

I loved everything about this property! I only gave three stars for breakfast because it is a grab-and-go situation. Breakfast is as good as it could be, and the free coffee is top notch! There are also plenty of coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Such a cute place. Love the concept and price was very reasonable. Clean and comfortable with friendly staff. Unfortunately, I personally had an issue with the smell. It may not bother others but was so overwhelming and stuck in all my clothes and gave me headache. Just a note for others with sensitivity to smell.

Excellent location near Cornell campus. Staff were great, room was clean, cozy atmosphere in common areas. Self-serve bar was an interesting feature. Rooms could use an extra armchair or sofa, so one person can sit at the desk and another person has a place to sit other than the bed.
