    The bathroom floor at the Comfort Inn-I81  Binghampton, NY

    Stayed there for my son's college graduation. We paid $379 for ONE night. Obviously, the hotels in the area are informed when Binghamton University has a graduation. We were denied early check-in. We arrived and were given a room (131) that clearly had not been occupied for quite some time. The smell was unreal. We tried to stay anywhere else, but everything was sold out because of the graduation. The room was not clean (the yellow on the pillows is bacteria guys!!), and the bathroom floor was disgusting, with a drain that did NOT work. I asked for extra blankets, and was told I could only have one (????). We left as fast as we could the following day. NOT AT ALL COMFORTING AT THE COMFORT INN. We are now trying to get a refund.

    Paint peeling on bathtub floor.

    My family and I were traveling for vacation. It was late and we got a room here to stay for the night. The only decent thing about this hotel was the exterior and the lobby. The hallway outside our room was nasty looking with stains on the carpet. Our room was just as disgusting, stains on the wall and bathtub. Our bathtub had pain peeling up and I was worried about us cutting our foot on the peeling paint. Lady at front desk couldn't give us a different room because they were all booked up. She gave me a shower mat to cover chipped bathtub paint. The bathtub mat was nasty looking with black stains on it. Don't be fooled by the pictures of the rooms on the website!!!

    Away with the hubbs for a long-overdue-pandemic-cancelled-concert weekend. :-D

    We stay exclusively at Choice Hotels when we travel, since they are typically the most affordable, plus we are rewards club members and like to accumulate the points. We have stayed at our fair share of Comfort Inn's over the years, and in regards to this one, I have to believe it is on the verge of a Quality Inn downgrade. All of the details are pretty worn and dingy here, just not the same level of care that the Comfort Inn usually provides. When we initially checked into our room, it reeked of mustiness. I opened the window to see if I could bear it, kneeled down to put something in the fridge, and my knees and hands were soaked in gross brown goo. The fridge was leaking and oozing something ewwwwe all over the carpet. The friendly desk clerk (Danielle) apologized and promptly moved us to a room across the hall. The second room was fine enough, but again worn and dingy. The walls were scuffed all over, the furniture was stained, the bathroom had no exhaust fan. Plus the shower water pressure was too low. The room was clean enough, the bed was comfortable enough, and the price was reasonable enough (about $100 per night, all in), so if you come here with lowered expectations than what the Comfort Inn brand usually delivers, you can save a few bucks and have a lackluster, but still comfortable enough stay with friendly staff. NOTE: I actually came back into this review to downgrade to two stars because I remembered something else unfortunate. We have been Choice Privileges Members for over 15 years, very loyal to the brand. We typically always ask for a late checkout, always within reason, usually just an hour. When I asked at the desk the night before our checkout I was told they NEVER grant late checkouts! He wouldn't even check if our room was booked the next day because he said he would be in trouble with management! Then he gave a litany of bogus reasons why they can't ever do a late checkout! I can understand on occasion if there is a time when a reasonable late checkout isn't possible because of occupancy and staffing. But to say NEVER is just preposterous. :-(

    Some kind of filth plastered to the wall by the luggage stand.

    As a super Yelper, I try very hard to provide honest and fair reviews. I try to view all my reviews from both the perspective of the business owner and the client. I try very hard to remain unbiased in my reviews and be as positive as possible. On this count though, I find it very difficult to leave a positive review. Let's start with the positive. We were greeted by a very friendly lady at the front desk. She did an excellent job making us feel welcome. That is about where the positive ended. I grabbed a luggage cart and could not find one that was not filthy. Sticky stuff, dirt and grime, they were all gross. We got to our room and the door was jammed. The locking mechanism had to be slammed shut to latch. It made leaving our room quietly a near impossibility. Upon walking into the room, we found it dated and dirty. Water streaks and spots were on the mirrors. It looked like someone had sneezed on the mirror. The tile floor just inside the door looked like it had not been swept. The arm chair was old and dingy. An equally worn out ottoman sat in front of it. It was the only true seating in the room minus the office chair. In the corner by the luggage table there was a wad of something stuck to the wall. It could have been anything from caramel to fecal matter. It was gross. The sink in the berthing area did not appear to have been cleaned correctly. The drain had white crud all around it. The bathroom was equally problematic. There was water damage in the ceiling that had not been properly fixed and the tile was peeling. Behind it was black mold. The picture over the toilet had been water damaged and it too was covered in black mold. The corners of the tub were covered in black mold. I have submitted pictures to support my claims. There were only two towels and a hand towel available. The shower had a thin curtain but no water proof liner, so the water was all over the floor by the time we had finished showering, despite our trying to tuck the shower curtain tightly inside on each corner. Water pressure and temperature both remained good during showers. No complaints on that front. The bed was a king size bed, which I had ordered. My experience with king size beds in motels is that they are usually deep and soft and movement on one side of the bed is minimal to the other. I have shoulder and neck problems relative to a car accident, so I wanted a large, soft bed that I could frequently reposition myself on without waking my wife. This was not to be the case. This mattress was about as cheap a king size mattress as one could get. It was hard, thin and neither my wife nor I found it remotely comfortable. There were minimal blankets. Plenty of pillows though. That I can credit the room. Two sheets and a light quilt was all that was available. The air conditioner worked correctly but it was a wall mounted unit, so one side of the room stayed cold while the other was not. Our biggest complaint about the air unit was that the vanes were immovable. The air blew straight across the bed. There was no way to redirect it. This meant fan driven air in our faces every time we turned our heads to the wall, which made my wife cough. The room did come with a very small microwave and a fridge. The fridge door was bent and didn't close without slamming it into the wooden desk in which it was placed. There were no vending machines upstairs, just a few snacks and drinks placed for sale in the lobby. Breakfast was as expected for the price point and was not bad. It appears bacon is on the menu, but it was gone at 7:30 when we ate. Sausage was good though. A decent breakfast is all that saved my review from being a one star review. Overall, this motel seemed like a relic of the 1970's into which very little money or effort has been placed. Ice machine was dirty and smelled of mildew. Black mold along edges of ceiling. The lobby is nice and modern, but the improvements stop there. It is run down, worn out and dingy. The ice machine had an odd musty smell and black mold could be seen in the corners of the room. Breakfast was actually pretty good and the only reason I am giving this experience two stars. Bacon was gone by the time we got there at 7:30, which was a disappointment. This room was priced just above mid point. I paid $113 plus tax for it. It wasn't in the bargain basement "roach" motel prices, neither was it a $209 premium room at a five star establishment. It was booked through Priceline.com however. So, I expected it to be better than I found it. Overall, it was a disappointment.

Honestly I did not expect much because it was Binghamton. The food was good, the taste was comparable to some restaurants I've tried in the city. We ordered 2 Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon Butter Milk Smashed Potatoes and Sauteed Mustard Greens ($14 each), a Grilled Chicken Panni with Portabello Mushroom, Smoked Cheddar Cheese and Sauteed Mustard Greens, and a Salad(forgot which one) with Grilled Ahi Tuna. All the dishes were presented nicely in terms of culinary art. I had the Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon Butter Milk Smashed Potatoes and Sauteed Mustard Greens with Truffle Scented Mac & Cheese ($4) on the side. Personally I believe that I've had better. The salmon was not over cooked, the skin was maybe a little bit too crispy. I think it is pretty good for the price. The mashed potatoes and the sauteed greens went well with the dish. The sauce on the plate also went well with the salmon. As for the Truffle Scented Mac & Cheese, I was disappointed. The pasta could have been a little softer. I would give the Truffle Scented Mac & Cheese 3 stars and Pan Roasted Atlantic Salmon Butter Milk Smashed Potatoes 4 stars. I am comparing this to my Camaje and SMAC experience. For dessert we had 3 orders of gelato and an order of warm molted lava cake with vanilla gelato. I had the warm molted lava cake with vanilla gelato. It was pretty good, but I have had better dessert than this. I mean this is better than probably dessert from TGIF or Apple Bees. The cake was really moist. All of us were satisfied with our meal. This place is definitely has a great atmosphere. It is a little fancy and romantic. It's great for dates or special celebrations. I went for lunch and the bright light was shinning in through the window (does not have a nice window view) It seems like the restaurant is a candle light dinner or dim light type later in the evening. The restaurant is inside a hotel. So I would not dress too bum-like, lol...

We went in to check in and were told the sign had been ripped up by a storm recently, fair enough. Then casually were told that the maintenance guy had quit because there were "too many things to fix" ok, slight red flag. Staff was friendly and checked us in and we went to the room. We were only staying one night, we were out in a first floor room right by the parking lot and the street. It was surprisingly quieter overnight than we thought it would be. As we unpacked, we noticed the electrical outlets by the bed were loose so anything we plugged into them would not charge. There was a usb port on the desk area that also did not work. We stopped at the "gym" and the one and only treadmill was out of order. No wonder the maintenance man quit. While these things weren't make or break our stay, they were kinda frustrating. The next morning we went to their breakfast area and were not impressed with the spread. Very little in the way of selection and once again, the equipment (waffle maker) was out of order. We checked out and again the staff was so friendly. Even for the price, I doubt we would stay here again.
