How do Cornell University Students quarantine before going back to campus?
With the announcement that Cornell University is requiring all students from hot spot states to quarantine for 14 days before returning to campus, hotel demand spiked. So did hotel prices, as rates increased to over $300 per night and only a few of these rooms remain. Students have been disrupted by the pandemic enough so we wanted to do something to help.
OurBus has negotiated a rate of $65 per night at The Courtyard Elmira Horseheads, Fairfield Inn & Suites Elmira Corning and Fairfield Inn Riverside and transportation between there and Ithaca for Cornell students. To access the discounted rate and book one of these hotels, go to Courtyard's site using this link.
Due to high demand rooms are also available at the Hampton Inn Corning/Painted Post for $79/night via this link.
Students can travel to the hotel via bus from NYC, Binghamton or Ithaca or go on their own. OurBus set up custom charter-style trips to make the journey as easy as possible. There will be food delivery options at the hotel.
After the 14-day period, daily transportation will be provided from the Courtyard Elmira to Ithaca.
Here's a full description of what's included.
