I needed a quick room and I decided to book here. Room was clean and spacious- front desk people were really nice! The area around the hotel had a Dunkin and a gas station so I could grab breakfast and run to baseball. Bathroom was decent- you could tell the hotel had some upgrades but not everything. Overall I would def stay here again !

It's a motel. Usually not much to expect from that.

Check in was smooth. Besides first room and a fridge leak and door was open.

But front staff corrected and gave us another room.

Beds were big and comfortable besides sheets weren't as clean nor the towels. So id recommend bringing your own covers, sheets and your own towels etc. Lysol spray to be safe.

I appreciate the microwave and fridge.

No full closet. Nice irons.

Few things close by I enjoyed like dunken donuts. Burger king and gas stations. Cortland has a little town . So conviently close to a lot of things. I was here visiting for a paint meet up.

If I had to choose this place I probably would based off the convience

Overall if you need to sleep for 1 night it is worth the money. If you need to spend any time in the room look elsewhere.
Not much interaction with staff but room key cards regularly did not work despite bringing them to the front desk.
The room had very minimal items in it. Toilet paper, bar of soap and towels. Small double beds that squeaked with every move. Furniture worn with only 1 desk chair in the room.
Floors clean and newer.
Window was cracked.
Shower was well worn and handle on the bathroom door falling off.
Bug traps in the room and a bug also seen. Large gap under door and latch lock was loose on the wall.
Lots of parking but the building is worn and in an industrial type area that is old.

We find the location, right by the McGraw exit off I81, very convient. We don't mind that there is no breakfast served...we find the staff particularly helpful in suggesting places to hike nearby ☺️

Staff was very friendly. For a smaller motel it was very clean. I've stayed in some small motels that were not well kept. This Motel 6 is worth it if you're in need of a simple room for a night or two. I just pray they don't increase the prices like the rest of the hotels and motels in Cortland. It's so expensive to stay in Cortland.

We stayed in a room that had an upstairs. At 6 AM the noise upstairs started. Things dropping to the floor. Banging and pounding. I complained to the property manager. His office is above our room. He was up early to do some work. One would think he’d be respectful of the noise at 6 AM. Evidently not.

The motel got a good connection to the motorway and the rooms are quite large but could use a design hand. It had though colour TV (no netflix/prime app). The desk was to small to accomodate a Labtop, because there was some ancient E-board mounted on it. The running trainer in the gym was dangerours - it just stopped all of the sudden a couple of times while running on it. The strangest thing; coffee was only available in the morning at the machine in the hall.

The owner is down right rude and looks down at women. Treated me very poorly. I was not allowed any visitors. Entered my room without permission smelled my sheets when checked out . Told me he wanted a two hundred dollar deposit. Someone took a few lug nuts off my vehicle and loosened all the others . Did not keep up with snow removal. The heat was off in my room when I got there . The place is over run with drunks and drugged people living on social services. I have never run into a rider person in my life as the owner is . I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy let alone anyone I liked or loved . He should be stripped of the motel 6 brand and everyone staying there is in fear of this man and afraid to speak up . He puts out coffee but will not even spend a cent on plastic silverware. No paper towel or napkins even . Penny pinching is an understatement. No one is wants to be there and deal with this miserable situation. Camera so they watch every move and if someone goes to enter your room as a guest you get called by the front desk and told no visitors inside room or you will be kicked out without a refund . It’s more like a prison than a motel . I personally think you need to speak to the people that are living there and ask them . My friend was in a room and someone was in his room and turned down his heat and tv well he was naked in bed and he seen them leaving his room as it woke him when the owner was leaving his room . He is very upset at the thought .
