“Just what we needed!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We needed a single night to go play at the local Casino. From check in to check out, this was exactly what we needed it to be. Friendly staff (wished us good luck at the Casino), clean, updated room, decent mattress, great pillows, reasonable price and no smells (a personal pet peeve for me). The room also had a personal safe which helped save some of my money from the slots, etc. Do be careful of the driveway though...some major potholes had to be avoided.
If you're in the area and need a room, I'd recommend this motel.

Bri was wondering how you guys made out at the casino! Glad to hear you had a good time both there and here at our little hotel. Thank you for posting the traveler tip for the potholes....we can't wait for spring to hit so we can get out there and fix them! It is first on our list of priorities. Thank you for pointing out that we are clean! I always say that is the most important part, everything else revolves around that. We hope to see you again!

“It's all about "value"...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

This place is pretty close to home, so I've only stayed there twice, but I'd have to rate it as a bargain.

Typical of a Red Roof, the rates are low and the quality of the rooms exceed expectations. The staff was perfectly helpful and efficient, too.

It's an easy-off/easy-on location from the Thruway, and there are many restaurants within a mile or two.

Clearly, Red Roof is not a luxury chain, but they are remarkably consisitent in giving you a lot more than expected for your money. (I've spent > twice as much on utter dumps.)

“Hamilton Mom 2014”

What a great find. Nice rooms, great price and very clean. Prefer my own pillow, but got a great nights sleep and the staff great. Right off the highway. Great restaurant Delmonico's right next door.

Room Tip: King room is awesome IF you only have two people

Hamilton College is such an amazing place, you are very lucky to have a student there! We feel even luckier that we get to be your home away from home when visiting your student. It is amazing the milestones that we have shared with our families that have students in colleges around town. We appreciate that you pointed out we are very clean! My team and I always joke that we have a big palace that we are responsible for taking care of and our guests are to be treated like kings and queens. Thank you again for your review!

“Red Roofs are great values, and this is a good one”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

Stay here regularly for business as I have a customer in the area, and am never disappointed. The rooms are typical Red Roof rooms, always clean and well laid out. This one is a little older and can show it's age, but in the end as long as it is clean, comfortable, and a value, that's what matters most.

Very easy to get to from the thruway, a couple of restaurants within walking distance, and a lot more options within a 3-5 minute drive. Internet is very good.

The only drawback is the occasional lack of availability. This hotel can get sold out quickly in construction season and on at least one occasion it was used as an overflow for a local college when the dorms were full. That isn't meant as a slight on the guests, they are very good, just as an observation on how quickly the hotel can fill up.

Room Tip: The business king rooms have exceptional work areas.

If you only need a place to sleep, Red Roof is the place to stay. Rates are very reasonable, rooms are clean and stafff is friendly and helpful. Close to NYS Thruway. If you are seeking a little entertainment, Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona, NY, about a 20 minute drive from hotel.
