Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very professional and easy process. My only complaint was that I was running quite late for check-in (10:00 p.m.), and it was very difficult obtaining a direct line phone # for the front desk in order to inform I was still enroute. I did not have breakfast, so did not rate that.

Great Place to stay!

The room was brand new. New carpeting - very clean - new bathrooms - refrigerator - microwave. The outside looks worn but the rooms are fresh and new. The new AC fan, however, was very loud. Additionally, the bedspread should be swapped out for a double sheet over a quilt. There were plenty of towels and built in soap - shampoo - conditioner and lotion bottles. Very nice owners.

Amazing Place to Stay

Love, love, love this cute little hotel in Ithaca! This is a motel-style facility (drive up to your room) that has been completely renovated. The rooms are so beautifully decorated and clean. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms lovely. Each room has a fridge and microwave. It is in a somewhat rural area and so quiet with nice views from each room. Breakfast in the morning is simple but high quality. It is run by a lovely family who are so kind and polite. It is far better than you usually get at this price point. This is a hidden gem, as the other reviews say. Definitely try it out!!

The room was perfect and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The only complain was the air conditioner was a wall unit and was loud and blew directly on you as you slept. Otherwise perfect!
