Binghamton hotels

In the last post, we listed hotels in the Ithaca area. It's been suggested that since we live in the Binghamton area, perhaps I should list some down here as well.
In Vestal
These hotels are on the Vestal Parkway/Rte 434, which is our main shopping strip, with plazas & all the stores and restaurants that you find everywhere else in the country, so it may be convenient.
The Hampton Inn & Suites, 3708 Vestal Parkway East, Vestal, NY 13850, has very good reviews on google, and the rate for 2 people is around $160/night.
The Courtyard by Marriot, 3801 Vestal Parkway East, Vestal, NY 13850, also has very good reviews, with a rate of $140-170/night.
The Holiday Inn, 4105 Vestal Parkway, Vestal, NY 13850, is right across from Binghamton University, and has good reviews, with $120-130/night.
The Residence Inn by Marriott, 4610 Vestal Parkway East, Vestal, NY 13850, with a rate of $150/night. Decent reviews.
In Johnson City
There's a little cluster of hotels at the Johnson City exit from Rte 17. These hotels are all near the mall, a couple of restaurants, and Wegman's, a great local grocery store. But if you stay in this area, just DON'T eat at Christie's Grill. The food is lousy and overpriced.
The Hampton Inn, 630 Field Street, Johnson City, NY 13790, is behind Wegman's. Though that doesn't sound so great, it's mentioned as a good point in one google review. The rates are $125-135/night.
La Quinta, 581 Harry L. Drive, Johnson City, NY 13790, with rates of $105/night, and good reviews.
Best Western, 569 Harry L. Drive, Johnson City, NY 13790, with rates of $90/night, has mainly positve reviews.
Red Roof Inn, 590 Fairview Street, Johnson City, NY 13790 (just up the hill from Harry L. Drive), with rates of $85/night. Claire's parents have stayed here, and liked the place.
Appalachin (east of Vestal & Johnson City, closer to Owego)
Quality Inn, 7666 Rte 434, Appalachin, NY 13732, decent reviews, rates around $90/night. (And, incidentally, if you're familiar with "Analyze This," the opening scene with mobsters escaping a police bust out in the country, is based on an actual police bust at a mobster's house in Appalachin)
