Ithica was two worlds - both fantastic

Ithica was wine tours with cheese and chocolates one day and scenic hikes with waterfalls and cascades the next. Both activities were nearby and equally memorable. However, the first day went to our heads and the second to our tired feet. The hotel was a pleasant place to return to refresh, rest and plan our next adventure. Breakfast was more than expected with eggs, sausages, waffles, toast and more. Great value and location.

Very mediocre hotel.

Very mediocre hotel. Stayed here at insanely inflated prices for my graduation from Cornell. Over 800 a room for a single night. Very average breakfast. Bagel, toast, waffle maker, eggs, sausage, orange and apple juice, and some yogurt. Stains were on most furniture pieces. Small TV in the room. Looks like they had a hair dryer, but the space was empty in my room. The GF I outlet in the bathroom was absolutely disgusting looking. Had lots of stuff called up on it. Hotel has no amenities. This hotel should only be considered for the three S's (sleeping, showering, sh!trying). Would have gone anywhere else if I could. It's better than a Motel 8, but that's just because of the people, not necessarily the service.
