First time staying at the famed Statler. Customer service was exceptional, room was nice (amazing view from one of the Tower Rooms), walls were a bit thin, asked for an extra blanket and got a quilted mattress cover but all in all it was good. We ate at Taverna Banfi and will not be going back - each dish was overly salted (crazy amounts), the lighting was like a diner’s, the tables uneven, banquet too low for the height of the table, and our waitress was quite inept even at the simplest of things. Conveniently located so a great place to stay while visiting Cornell, just expect some bumps.
