Our room (#18) cost $60!! As if that weren't amazing enough, the room (king bed) was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the tv was flat screen. The shower and bathroom were small but clean.
The owner was very, very nice.
The Algonkin was quite a find! Thank you, TripAdvisor. We would DEFINITELY stay here again.
My room had a big "dorm" fridge, microwave and great TV. Stand up shower, small sink/vanity and small bathroom...with a view of the Susquehanna River out the back window.
I will stay here again but if NY approves gas drilling I expect this hotel will be mobbed with drill crews. This ruined The Shadowbrook in Tunkhannock PA. as well as another hotleI still use in Wellsboro PA. Great for the economy but hard on nice smaller hotels.



I wanted a hotel about an hour south of Utica for a particular night to avoid too much driving the next morning. Sidney/Bainbridge was exactly the spot on my route. I'd booked it over the Super 8 on the highway based on reviews and not wanting to detour all the way to Oneonta since my reason was to save time the next morning.
I arrived at 10:30pm, as planned. You call a number from the office and the owner/family/staff "come down" and check you in. They actually live there--great safety feature for a female traveling alone. My room was clean and very comfortable, if spare and exactly as advertised. Great value too. It did not smell musty. Bath amenities and towels were nice quality. It had a microwave and refrigerator and flat-screen TV, but sadly no coffee maker or even a glass or ceramic coffee mug to heat water (I'd brought a tea bag...), sigh. I'm quite sure they'd have accommodated a request, but I wasn't going to ask at 10:45pm.
I will confirm some other reviews: it does seem to cater to people who work on the road and get up early. I suspect some are regulars M-Thurs. There appeared to be a communal space with a gas grill outside (great for group travelers or work teams). I did hear the person in the room above me--not loud or annoying, but it might be for someone not used to apartment living. A freight train came by at 6:30am (I'd gotten up at 6, so no big deal). There are no late night dining options, but there are some gas station/markets to procure something if you need and didn't bring.
Early the next morning I awoke to some bird song. The Susquehanna River is literally just behind the motel (well down hill--no flood worries and the river was in flood-emergency when I was there). The delightful surprise was the cute coffee and breakfast/lunch options in Bainbridge, which I definitely recommend. If you're early enough in the evening, there are plenty of dinner options.
Because of the proximity to parks and natural areas, this would be a fantastic vacation motel for several days or even a week on a limited budget.
Suggestions for improvement: coffee mugs and coffee maker in the room and a black-out curtain for the front window. I turned out the porch light in front of my door, but the light from the neighboring door was on all night and illuminated my room from the gaps in the shade. I forgot an eye mask, not that it should be needed.
