The Colgate Inn is a hotel with a perfect and great location close to Colgate University, making it easy to get everywhere by walking or driving. The rooms are nice, spacious, and lovely, though one minor note mentioned a slow-draining sink and a room could have used a fridge. The staff is consistently highlighted as wonderful, friendly, helpful, sweet, smart, professional, kind, and attentive. A particular staff member at the reception desk receives frequent praise for being fantastic, amazing, pleasant, and going above and beyond, offering valuable information and taking great care of guests. The on-site tavern serves excellent and tasty food, providing a nice place to have a few beers to finish the day. Special touches like after-dinner s'mores are also offered. The overall experience is highly recommended for a pleasurable and memorable stay in the Hamilton area, suitable for family reunions or university visits.
We highly recommend the Colgate Inn in Hamilton. The staff was welcoming and accommodating. Our room was lovely, overlooking the Hamilton Village Square where we could watch the Syracuse Symphony Concert in the evening. We had a delicious meal at the Colgate Inn Tavern.

No ice machine but bar will fill a bag for you. Contacts found on room of floor, disgusting. Needs some updates but is a great place to stay. Breakfast is not worth it.

Nicest hotel around. Old-school rooms, beautifully finished. Cozy fireside dining in the restaurant.
