Top James Kennedy State Forest Hotel Reviews

Cayuga Blu Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, comfy mattress, hot shower and nice selection for hot breakfast. That’s all we needed for our one night stay just passing through. Could the place use an update? Sure but the price and location were right. Access from multiple exterior doors no keycard needed….not very secure. That felt weird used to more secure hotels so an FYI if security is a hot button for you."

The Statler Hotel at Cornell University

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect"

Yellow Barn Estate

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely flawless 5-star experience! Everything about our stay was incredible, contactless check-in was pretty easy, beautifully designed room. The amenities were top-notch, the kitchen and common area were great and well designed. The overall vibe made for a perfect getaway. The rooms were not sound proofed like regular hotels, but it's not a problem. I couldn't have asked for anything more and will definitely be returning!"

La Tourelle Inn & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was wonderful. I’m looking forward to staying again."

Red Roof Inn Cortland

10/10 Excellent

"We booked at Red Roof InnCortland because they were pet friendly. When we got there , they had overbooked and had moved us to their extended stay which was next door. I was anxious because we had our dog with us , but the staff assured us it was no problem. They were helpful with other issues too , calm and “ it’s no problem “. The room was very clean and quiet. And I slept like a log . Very impressed"
