Great place to stay

We were there only one night, but easily could have stayed a week. The inn is comfortable, close to downtown. The room and bed were great. Everything clean and tasteful. The staff members are incredibly friendly and service-oriented. Great patio with evening drink of sangria. Wonderful location.

Cornell Inn was lovely. The place is so clean- and I’m a germaphobe! The staff was kind, helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and served outside in a beautiful garden. Would definitely recommend.

The property is charming, but my room definitely was not. I felt like I was in a motor lodge because it was a small confiding space with sounds of the road and people walking by all of the time. I definitely was not the charm I was looking for when I picked this property. It looked like it had been a quick and dirty rehab, and the LED lights were pretty awful.

We loved the Cornell Inn. The property is well maintained inside and out. The welcome drink and brownie were a nice touch. The welcome bottle of wine in our room was also a lovely gesture. The breakfast will not disappoint and was delicious. We highly recommend this Inn.

Perfect

What a delightful experience. Not a looker from the outside but wow on the inside! From the brownies and welcome drinks to the exceptionally designed rooms we were so happy we chose this inn. The breakfast may have been a highlight as well. Every single person we encountered was so helpful and kind. We will be back.
