They were able to move rooms around and got us into a king bed for the night. They also offered a couple of complimentary bottles of water. I love that our Bon Voy rewards get us water at most establishments. The room was clean, we struggled getting it cool enough at night. The AC seemed to be maxed out. They offer a complimentary breakfast, with a decent variety. Overall this was a nice hotel, friendly staff make it worth staying!

We have stayed here a few times as a stop over and never had a bad experience. It's extremely easy access from the parkway. The staff here is extremely helpful and friendly. It was a quick check-in and we were off to our room. It's a nice size clean room with plenty of lighting and outlets for charging phones, computers, etc... There was also a very nice working area. It's always a plus to have a coffee maker and microwave oven too. It has a large clean bathroom and great shower. A very comfortable bed and pillows made for a nice sleep. Morning breakfast was very complete with oatmeal, waffles, eggs, yogurt, etc... There was one woman working keeping everything filled as it was extremely busy on Sunday morning. My only gripe (and this was not with the wonderful hotel staff) is that people would park their cars in the EV & Tesla charging area overnight. REALLY, if you own an electric car charge it and move it!!! The spot does not have your name on it. Please be cognizant of the other Electric / Hybrid owners. It's not a Tesla spot... it's a Tesla / EV charging area for everyone!!! Clearly I was not the only person who complained about this! The staff understood my frustration but they don't manage that area. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to my next stop in Binghamton. KUDOs to the team at Fairfield Inn.

Took an hour to get our meal. i got their steak salad special which was the weirdest with so many substitutions and omissions which the waitress never asked if I wanted something else. The only thing correct was steak, some salad (no dressing) and an avocado. Apparently if you are out of red onions,shishito peppers and lime tampanade and cilantro you throw in cherry tomatoes,jarred red peppers and some unknown jarred yellow pepper. I never tasted anything approaching lime or cilantro. i never complain but this was ridiculous. I commented I didn't even get the ciabatta bread and her comment was that the cook warned her he was out. WTF? My husband wanted to try their ' shortcake' with mixed berries'. By this time there were three people in the restaurant,including us. it took another half hour and we actually were standing to leave when it arrived. What arrived was half frozen mini biscuits that were covered in what looked like blueberry pie filling and whipped cream. No fresh berries and certainly not mixed berries. They must have been out of cherry and strawberry pie filling....

From the outside and walking into the lobby, everything looked normal, but once we checked in and walked to the elevator, we could see the paint peeling off the facade so to speak. 1) There was a hand written sign that one of the two elevators was out of order 2) only one working ice machine for entire hotel 3). Inside of the elevator, the doors were all scratched up ... was someone trapped in here earlier? 4). The hallways were "vintage" right from the 80's 5). There were stains in the shower 6) towels had stains and holes 7) no housekeeping service for the duration of my stay. If this was a $79/night motel, I would understand. But for $200/night, this is inexcusable.

I guess I'll assume it was a number two. And that was only the tip of the turd. As soon as I checked intimate room after a long day I undressed and laid on the bed . Immediately two people barged into the room . I assumed they were hotel staff . But when I woke up in the morning I discovered the door doesn't close properly and I was sleeping in an unsecured room all night . That is when I turned and look at the bed . When I did I about pooped myself . I toss and turn in bed and my nightly tussle caused the fitted sheet to come up .. and it revealed the hideous secrets lurking under.. a giant brown stain. It was the color as if a dog ate an entire ozempic pen and then a whole pizza .. the dog got the ozempic squirts and relieved himself on the bed . Needless to say I needed coffee . I poured water in the machine and went to load it . The cheap flea hotel I was stunned to discover is reusing the plastic filter tray that's supposed to be wrapped in plastic and tossed . Disgusting. Meantime the water is leaking out of the machine onto the desk and the floor . Doesn't work anyway . I told the young woman at the desk and she promised of if I called Priceline they would approve a refund . She was lying to my face . When Priceline called she said they needed to talk to a manager . More than a week later every time they or I call there is no manager . It's a scam . The hotel is clearly owned by a family who also lives in the hotel . You can smell the reek of their cooking through out the hotel . When I called back personally they said they are now refusing the refund because I didn't complain until the morning . I didn't know until the morning ! And the fact that I slept on it all night without knowing the disgusting mystery makes it worse not better !

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... One thing that disturbed me was an unfamiliar object had dropped into my friend's glass of water as the waitress was filling it. But she kindly replaced it for us. They had really good service. I would definitely go again to try some of their other stuff.
