<p>Where do you stay when visiting Cornell??
Why are the hotels/motels so expensive?</p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestions on any type of accomodations for moving in weekend-August 22? My son is going to already be at Cornell and I just completely did not think of making a hotel reservation for my husband and me.
We are driving from Pittsburgh so I even went back to the city of Elmira.</p>

<p>We have only been to Cornell three times this year and stayed at the Statler, so I don't have a good feel for the surrounding area. I telephoned every single hotel/motel I could find and after much laughter, was told that they have been sold out since Cornell mailed the early decision letters in December.
The list of B&B is so overwhelming-any opinions?</p>

<p>Also, after much difficulty, we booked the following hotels for some fall weekends-any opinions?? Country Inn, Super 8, Homewood Hilton</p>

<p>Thank you so much for any information.</p>

<p>You booked all three? Are you and your husband going to stay at all three hotels?</p>

<p>She said that she booked them for some fall weekends. Meaning yes, she will stay at them for different weekend trips.</p>

<p>edit: just noticed there is another, more complete thread on this topic. disregard</p>

<p>you're coming in from PA...why stay there the whole weekend? is your child really one of those who become easily homesick?</p>

<p>many kids dont even come with parents...and those that do many leave once the kid is moved in...</p>

<p>Sorry, just seems like she's staying for an awfully long time. I thought this thread was like an update to the previous one...just telling us she did in fact succeed in getting the hotels she wanted.</p>

<p>Thanks for your responses.</p>

<p>For some reason my initial post got posted twice. I emailed the monitor to have one removed, but that does not look like it happened.</p>

<p>No, though it made me laugh, my son is not a homesick type :)
He is going to be at Cornell August 1 without the majority of his stuff, so we need to bring his dorm items up on August 22.
As for the fall hotel reservations, he is a member of the football team so I made reservations for all of the home games.
Thanks again and sorry for the confusion with the two posts.</p>
