Cayuga Inn at the Finger Lakes not how it appears

Very expensive for the poor condition of hotel. Rust and mold in room and bathroom. Lock broken on door. Comfortable bed, roomy. Didn’t have breakfast— two chairs in lobby and meager offering of food. Gentleman at front desk very responsive to have repair man fix TV twice; shower faucet not labeled, trouble getting hot water.
Norma, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

They're at least trying.

The staff was really friendly. You can tell they're at least really trying to run an old Days Inn property themselves and turn a profit. Its hard. I get it. Its the Finger Lakes. Rich folk. Wine Country. ALL the rooms are expensive. The price of the room for what you get? Not awesome. It's a non-smoking facility, but the place smelled of cigarette smoke (the room at least didn’t). I walked to my room, and another guest was straight up smoking away down the hall. The rooms were as clean as they can be with what they’ve got. There's empty screws/nails in the walls that likely used to have art, and having a single garbage can in the main room instead of a small 2nd in the bathroom was odd. Water pressure was just okay. But, it was still the least expensive room available (under $170) for a single night near the venue I needed to travel to.

Dean, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was an older Days Inn, was clean and staff was friendly. I did have a problem with the shower dripping and brought that to their attention, which they will rectify after my stay (plumbing problem). Breakfast was non existent. The location was great for what we were doing.
Gary, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

I left the hotel room after an hour. The amount of bugs on the walls and in/under the bed was shocking. If Hotels.com does not refund my money I will contest credit card charge. They should be ashamed allowing this place to advertise on this site. WOW!!

I would not recommend this property to be in Expedia. The carpet was sticky and dirty. The staff smoked so it smelled like smoke in the lobby, and hallways.

Photos are deceiving. The rooms were dirty, floor and the bathrooms were not cleaned at all.
xiao ping, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Carpet dirty and covered in burn marks, dirty floor and walls. Hallway and lobby smell like smoke. A number of what seemed to be long term guests as well. All in all of I had any other reasonable option I would have left.
William, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unacceptable Will Never, Ever Go Back.

We had to leave this hotel, and the owner wouldn't give us a refund, but that's okay. Seems like he needs it more than me. He needs to fix that hotel. Inn needs to be torn down, it's not livable.Hotel is very dirty filthy. Smell like cat-and-dog pee, doesn't look like pictures which is online. This seems to be a place for people who need assistance DSS or the homeless, or someone who was just released from prison. I would never, ever recommend anyone to stay at this Inn.

Worst room ive ever rented

I assumed 4.7 rating was out of 5 and didnt check reviews… huge mistake, its out of 10 …. Staff was pleasant. Other than that just a disgusting dirty room, bed, furniture and common areas. Should be rated a 1 on any scale!
Daniel, 1-night trip
