10/10 Exceptional

Had a great stay at Dorm Hotel. Clean and comfortable rooms and very close to Cornell Campus. Only issue was parking lot-difficulties maneuvering in such a tight spot.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Great option, clean and has everything needed for a stay
Verified review

6/10 Good

The room was extremely clean and bed comfortable. 3rd floor was very peaceful and quiet. No refrigerator in the rooms which was inconvenient. Coffee was not ready in the morning as listed so maybe be prepared for an alternative beverage? The area was lovely, a short walk to downtown but the return walk is a big hill so be sure to factor that in your plans.

This hotel has a great location, particularly if you want to visit Cornell. Our only complaint was that the queen sized bed was against a wall, making it inconvenient for one person to get out.

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

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!
