Very clean, my daughter and I shared a queen and bed was super comfortable, slept great, noise was not an issue. Could tell it was any older house but beautifully remodeled. Could hear occasionally creaks but did not keep me up. Definitely would stay again!

Great location. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly. Super clean and quiet. Plenty of parking. Common area is very cheerful. No microwave or refrigerator in room. Very small room and bathroom is a closet. You need a stepstool to get into bed. You need a tech degree to operate thermostat. I just gave-up and left the window open.

Room 10 was excessively loud from being under the common area, between the elevator and stairs and having an entrance directly outside, there was so much noise. Then the flashing of the smoke detector light and loud fridge we barely slept. I also had to crawl over my husband to go to the restroom in the middle of the night. Not the best experience. However, the staff was kind, the coffee was good and the room & facility was clean. Can the whole hotel be judged on this one room? I’d say this particular experience can be, but I have hope for the rest of the hotel.

The Dorm Hotel was well-located across from the entrance to Cornell. It is an old house renovated into fun hotel rooms that resemble dorm rooms. Although the room was basic, it was clean and comfortable. The only slight inconveniences were that I had to crawl into bed from the foot of the bed and didn’t have a space for my phone and glasses. I loved the lobby area with a coffee station, games, comfortable seating, a microwave and even a small refrigerator in which guests can store food. The front desk personnel were helpful.

I loved my stay at the Dorm Hotel! I was in town for a conference, and it was perfect for solo travel. The dorm feel was unique, and the space was exceptionally clean. The tap wall in particular was an awesome feature, and I also loved that the tv in the room had an option to cast from my phone. Also, the bed was SO comfortable!! The location was close to downtown, definitely walkable if you have the time. If I’m ever in town again, I’ll be back!

Stayed in a “single” which was perfect for my parents weekend stay. Room was clean and had plenty of space as I was alone. The room was a bit stuffy and I was not able to control the air temp (I did not inquire about how to change as I was exhausted!). First night, it was loud perhaps due to others coming in late but it was very loud throughout the night through the walls/ceiling. Second night was fine. Parking situation was fine.
