Easy place to stay in Ithaca. Short ride from airport, big breakfast buffet, nice front desk staff. A little dated, but half the price of other properties in the area!

The staff were super friendly and helpful! The room itself was nice...sure, the property could use a little TLC here and there, but overall it was great. You’d really have to nitpick to find much to complain about. The location was perfect, close to everything, and the breakfast was delicious. The only thing I noticed is that it seems like anyone could enter through the side entrances. There are cameras around, and I didn’t notice any issues, but coming from NYC, that stood out to me a bit. Otherwise, the place had all the accommodations you’d need, and the welcome gift bag was such a thoughtful touch! I would definitely stay here again.

Requested a room near lobby, room assigned was the furthest point from the lobby in the entire hotel and was on the 2nd floor also opposite from elevator. Not good for someone traveling with mobility issues. Lots of exterior doors to enter hotel, none of them have locks or any type of security. Halls are dark and smell stale like smoke.

Mixed bag …

My main complaint was the clanging air conditioner that went off with a bang every two minutes. No sleep in two nights. The hotel needs some sprucing up. The rooms are clean, though. The staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and varied, offering something for even picky eaters.

The hotel is in a good location. The staff is very nice and helpful. The beds are soft which were not comfortable to my family. The hotel itself is clean but desperately needs a renovation.

The only thing I would like to see them improve upon is their accessibility. Being on a walker and a cane I had a difficult time manoeuvring the doors and walkways that were not accessible. Other than that, it was clean, quiet and comfortable, and I would stay there again.

Best breakfast in NY State!

Had an excellent stay at this hotel and, after a week traversing NY State, I can say for definite it was our favourite hotel. It’s nice not to be in a ‘branded’ hotel and with that you get much better service, a truly great breakfast that put those served in much more expensive hotels to shame, and a super comfy bed giving me the best sleep for weeks. Would definitely come again and recommend to anyone considering a reasonably priced room on the Ithica area.

Hotel almost looks abandoned. Pictures must be from 10 years ago. Staff looked surprised when I walked in. 3 cars in the lot, smelled of weed and cigarettes. Air conditioner didn’t work in either room that I tried. They were quick to give a refund which was nice but probably because they’re one real complaint away from getting shut down
