Econo Lodge Cortland Downtown

This is a very nice but basic motel in Cortland. It has a nice free breakfast and all the rooms lead out onto an external balcony so it's nice and easy to get in and out although make sure you lock the door as in theory anyone from outside can walk up the stairs and into your room otherwise. The bath was very old and worn looking. The breakfast was basic but ok with juice, cereal and honey buns.

Checked in for 2 nights. After 1 day while I was at a conference the staff entered my room and confiscated all of my luggage. When I returned to the property they screamed at me that I was "checked out" I had no idea what was happened and asked if they'd like to see my reservation. It was extremely scary as a solo femme traveller in another country. They then realized their error and stalled me at the front desk for 20 minutes and then blamed an "untrained cleaner" for the mistake. When I opened my bag I found they had thrown open shampoo in with food and clothing. It was packed like a toddler had done it. Contacted Expedia for help and was initially told they are "only a booking site" and couldn't do anything to help me. Eventually got a refund for my stay (after hours of advocating for myself) but NOTHING for my damaged belongings or the massive invasion of privacy and abuse of power. Do not recommend this property. I don't think Expedia should be listing it anymore as I indicated it to them. But they're obviously ignoring my plea. Super disappointing. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL UNLESS YOU ARE FILMING THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT VOLUME 5.

Came to Cortland to visit our son who is a college freshman for his 18th birthday. Service was good. There was an issue at check in with their system but they made it go seamless for us. The room was clean but outdated. Although portions were newer (bathroom was recently renovated and newer laminate wood tile floors) the furniture and drop ceilings were scratched and stained. One mattress was soft the other honestly felt like sleeping on cardboard. I had never been to downtown Cortland and was surprised with the overall neighborhood. Walking around at night didn’t seem safe. Although there were sharp containers on the street we also found hypodermic needles littering many places. Interesting people were in the parking lot, but overall our stay was quiet. At no fault of the employees and owners, I probably will not be staying again.

Staff ladies were nice but the hotel condition was terrible!! Curtains falling apart, towels, tub and toilet dirty, bathroom door with an unfinished wood.. a couple on a floor above us were yelling from 7pm to 1am. Could not sleep! Complained to the main office and they did not do anything; around 1am the hotel got a black out, no air conditioning no lights, horrible, had people smoking at my door and I felt very unsafe! When we arrived police was there, with a couple; when I booked the room was advertised that they had a rollaway bed and crib available, we found out that was not true, could barely fit my children at the bed that was supposed to be a queen and was a full. Worst experience in my life!!! Breakfast was bizarre, coffee was over, they had only fruits and chocolate! And again, was advertised continental breakfast. A JOKE!

Toilet made a funny noise, stains and hair on the sheets, mold on the ceiling

nothing

dirty, drug users in parking lot

The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Went above and beyond. I did notice black mold in ceiling tile above toilet in bathroom and toilet stuck when flushed. Everything else was satisfactory.

It was a great location for enjoying town as we didn’t need the car at all. Comfortable room and friendly staff at checkin and check out-they even began breakfast a little earlier than usual as we had a long drive back home. Other than a few broken panes of glass in the room next door that needs to be fixed, the property was ok for the price we paid.
