Cayuga Blu is a serviceable hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are in 4 units which are not connected, forcing you to walk outside between units and take a walk through an outside courtyard to reach the front unit which houses breakfast. This was a surprise on a rainy day, and I might not enjoy this in winter! The units seem to be open to public access since keys were not required fof the outer doors. Breakfast was good.

lots of free parking. adjacent to supermarket & gas stations. weekend bkfast is excellent with hot eggs & meats. weekday bkfast is cold hardboiled eggs & yogurt. outdoor swim pool is nice touch but needs area upkeep, way too many flying bugs. we stayed twice in a week. 2nd time 2 scruffy people (white, 1 male, 1 female) sitting on curb & smoking weed outside our ground floor room 930pm. residents or homeless? i looked out, they stared back. we had to shut window, turn on ac. outside doors of building dont lock. if solo female or with kids i would really worry. i informed front desk next morning, no answer to my phone call at night. oh, and one morning i had to return to room to fetch something. cleaner (black, lady) had thrown pillows on floor when making beds. she gave me a sullen look when i objected.

We had a very good stay. The room was big and clean, the beds were very comfortable, and we had plenty of towels. The hotel could use a little updating. The area the hotel is in seems a little neglected and unattractive which didn't matter to us as we had plans with family elsewhere. We made our reservation through Expedia so it cost $200. That was a little high.

Nice enough

The Hotel is a bit dated but rather fascinating, particularly the dining area with attached sunken bar! The outdoor pool was not heated so not good, the indoor pool was tiny and also not useable during our stay. The breakfast was good, and the staff were all over the top kind and friendly. Beds were comfy enough, and bathroom was clean.
