going to Cornell

I'm going to visit Cornell's CS department this Thursday and Friday. I will be meeting at least Joe Halpern and Robert Constable.

Any tips on roadside motels/inns/lodges (generally or specifically)? I might split my journey into 3h/3h legs with a night in between. I guess I should look for something on Rt 90 between Springfield and Albany.
Unfortunately, it looks like roadside-motel-search.com doesn't exist yet.

My flight was postponed to Monday, which means I'll arrive in Brazil on my birthday, unless I postpone again.
