We had a lovely stay for a couple of nights while in NY visiting our grandsons. On our second…read morenight, the grands, ages 5 and 3, decided they wanted to spend the night with us and go swimming and to the hotel restaurant. We enjoyed all that the DoubleTree offered. The restaurant was great. My husband had a steak he loved, the boys had chicken strips and fries, and macaroni and cheese, (although I do recommend to the hotel to get rid of the black bowls that you serve Mac and cheese to kids in, it's weird to them....looks like a witches brew) and I ordered the portobello ravioli, but I didn't get to eat it hot due to the kids. Looked delish though! We went to the pool, which was nice and clean, and they had plenty of extra towels. This was the only part of our stay. The lady asking us to sign in, was extremely bossy, and pissy towards everyone there. She walked through the pool several times yelling at people about where they were allowed to sit, or what floats they were allowed to use. Slamming containers as she put them away and putting the lock on it. Everyone in the pool was talking about it, all 8 or 9 of us she was trying to treat like Privates. My high ranking husband in the military, nor I, appreciated her superiority complex. She needs to be in another department that doesn't deal with people, but I'd bet my last dollar she's organized and on time. We had an extra cot brought up for the grands, and the man that brought it up treated the kids like royalty. They've not been to many nice hotels anyway, so this was an adventure in their hometown. So special to this Mama Lu that they slept like angels. I choose DoubleTree every time it's available to me because the pillows and bed are a guaranteed great night sleep, every single time, no matter the location.

Went to check out Rive Bistro about a week ago with a few friends . One of my friends had to write…read morea pipe dreams article on it for restaurant week. 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.

Leading up to graduation this year, sadly, my mother passed away - we had a room reserved for her which we, obviously, sought to cancel. Apparently, Hilton, and specifically this trash-bag of a property, feel that my mother should have died sooner to avoid having to pay a cancelation fee. My apologies that my mother DIED at an inconvenient time for you - so much so that I am now out over 600 dollars to cancel a room which you were able to turn around an IMMEDIATELY sell again. Hilton hotels will never see another dollar of my money - and this hotel in particular, and it's clown of a general manager, can both go pound sand. I TRULY hope that you end up being taken advantage of due to the death of someone close to you so that you will understand what an absolute piece of garbage you were in this situation. Screw this property, and Hilton in general - this is not the last that this will be heard of.

I need my sleep so I chose Tru by Hilton Binghamton Vestal. I'm basing my hotel selection on: Free Breakfast Colorful lobby Smoking is permitted out front After checking in, I pretty much hung my clothes and went out to dinner. After dinner, I went back to the hotel and lit up a nice cigar. The next morning, I woke up refreshed. The bed was comfortable, the shower products were very good but this hotel doesn't believe in giving out bar soap? Yeah.. I travel with a bar from L'Occitane so these silly rules don't apply to me. I woke up, poured myself a cup of coffee from the free breakfast bar. I see families coming down and enjoying the breakfast selections. I'm sure they're here for a graduation or visiting a student. Nice hotel, I would stay here again. *If I see a beer keg, I'm pouring myself some of your beer while I smoke.

The staff and location were great. We were visiting from MD and arrived before check in time. As…read moresoon as we entered the parking lot, we saw an orange cone where a handicap sign should have been. 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.

This is a prominent hotel is a mildly urban downtown. It was not busy when I stayed, and perhaps…read morethat's why I got a fancy corner suite on the top floor. It offered some pretty nice views. The suite was a bit puzzling in the sense that there was a kitchen, but no utensils or dishes, so I'm not sure what the sink was for or how one would eat any food I stored and heated in the room using the refrigerator and microwave (I travel with utensils, personally). The bathroom was oddly narrow and the floors a bit slippery, but if you want hot water, this is the kind of place that will let you risk mild burns before you turn down the heat a little. Parking is outdoors downtown; I would prefer a garage for security but it is convenient. Unlike others, I did not experience noise issues; perhaps by being on the top floor during an uncrowded time. The location is listed as downtown, which is accurate, and you can certainly walk around the downtown, but there isn't a ton there.

The sand traps (dirt traps?) are showing the black netting underneath and turn into ponds for days after it rains. There are dead trees galore and those that aren't dead haven't been pruned in decades. The wooden fences are all falling down and the bridges are in such a state of disrepair as to be scary. One of the ponds is covered in scum and another gets so low that it reeks. Pond and stream banks looking a bit unkempt? Herbicide them all. Geese on the greens? Hire a buddy to shoot them. The cut grass is left in yellowing clumps. Any asphalt, concrete, downed trees, tees or busted balls just get dumped on the perimeter. Absolutely terribly maintained over the years. If anyone doubts this, I'll post pics.

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.

The layout of a small "village" like grouping was pleasant generally well planted and the staff very friendly. The issues: a little run down for a Marriott and some of the room cleaning needed more attention (fridge doors, bathroom floor) The lobby looked pretty good but the furniture is well worn. Our first floor room had a sliding door but the screen was sketchy and the door very hard to slide. Some of the outer siding was in poor shape. The fridge doors were hinged incorrectly to where it was placed in the kitchen making opening awkward. Breakfast was the usual kinda bleh thing but not worse than other such places. Basically at $160 plus you are paying for a kitchen but not upkeep. I would call this a clean 2 hotel that could be a 3 with some attention. I would use it but not seek it out necessarily if I had choices in the price range but it was quiet.

To get to our unit, there was a flight of steps. Our room was clean and in excellent shape. We were a little nervous reading some of the other reviews saying the hotel needed renovations. The website said the room had 2 queen beds. The bed seemed smaller than a queen size. The air conditioning unit was extremely loud in our unit, but we were only basically in the room to sleep. You need to go outside to get to the lobby area where they serve breakfast. The breakfast had the basic items. We did ask the attendant for gluten free bagels. The outside of the buildings looks a bit weathered, but we were extremely happy with our stay. There is a 7 Brew right down the hill from the hotel and 2 restaurants, Tully's and CooperTop, in the shopping center across the street from the hotel.
