I got lucky and got the junior suite, it’s in its own building in the back. Used to be a garage, the owner converted into a cute little place, with a small kitchenette. The only thing I would suggest is having a peep hole since I was by myself in the back, and or a screen door. I used the laundry room, which you can get quarters from the front desk. The price is reasonable and very close to the campus.

Stayed here as part of a visit to Cornell. Located at the very bottom of the campus - it is a short climb up to campus. Dorm hotel is unique (in my opinion) and exactly as described. Rooms are very small, small bathroom. Just enough room for a bed and a desk. It was tight with two people but quite doable. Very clean. Perfect for a summer visit. I enjoyed and would definitely stay here again.
