Hotel had minimal outdoor lighting - it was actually difficult to see the entrance when we arrived at the hotel to check in. Did not realize that the hotel was a bit dated- doors to outside had to be held open in order to get baggage cart in and out.
The room itself was large but again the furniture was dated and well used. The room had decent lighting.
The access to Main Street from second floor of hotel was a nice bonus. But proximity to Main Street on a Friday night resulted in loud music permeating the room until 2 AM. Small room heater/AC was not very accurate (again, maybe a bit outdated so difficult to control).

Run Down over priced sorry to say
Disappointed the pool was closed and the place is really getting run down. For the price over $250 and a premium room just not worth the value. Plus pull out bed was broken just really not well kept property. Staff was very friendly but hope the pool and property get a revamp.

Let’s start with the name change and not informing guests. The carpet was bumpy and dirty and pieced together in our room and in the hallways. There was significant mold in the bathroom. The shower curtain was ripped so water kept getting going all over the floor. The toilet ran incessantly and even my handy hubby couldn’t get it to stop. The beds literally were sinking and mushy. Let’s add the horrific noise from outside that lasted until 2 in the morning, with windows so awful it felt like the noise was right in the room. You can hear everything that’s said and done in the rooms next door to you and in the halls. I had crabby kids the next day with little sleep- every time they were woken up so were we. Add in the absent staff, with the constant be right back sign at the front desk anytime we were coming or going. Not what it looks like on line. My husband described it as cross between the Shining and Bates movie feel and he is really easy going.

Disgusting
The downstairs lobby is quite nice. Staff are friendly and quite good. The hallways are disgusting and dirty. A foul smell permeated the air. The hallway carpet is threadbare and dirty. It clearly has not been updated in 20 or 30 years. The parking lot is a disaster with multiple pot holes and suspension bottoming craters. The room was as clean as it could be given the age with well worn-out carpet and pealing wallpaper. The bathroom was clean but very outdated with a large tub to climb into for a shower. It was way overpriced for the over $200 charge in Oneonta.

The hotel is centrally located to Main Street and has direct access to many delicious food options. The staff at the hotel is very friendly, but the hotel is old and feels run down, smells like old wood, certain areas smell damp and dusty

When we arrived at the hotel we were told that after 8am there would be no electricity at the hotel.
We all as customers should have been told ahead of time and given the opportunity to accept the terms or cancel our reservation.
Had to walk down 2 flights of stairs with luggage no one could be found in the hotel to help.
Horrible experience

It got the job done. Fairly clean and friendly staff. However, hotel is very dated. Pool and restaurant not operating. Rooms could use updating.

I was in the area for a family wedding. The church was down the street so we could have walked! The receptionist at The Marx was absolutely wonderful and friendly! Same in the morning! I met an employee in the elevator who was very helpful and friendly. She even took my key to return it.I will definitely stay at The Marx again! I highly recommend it! Thank you!
