Super friendly and helpful staff! Rooms are clean and well kept. Hotel is a bit outdated and unlocked entrances to enter via back of hotel feels a bit unsafe despite multiple cameras. I’d still consider staying here again given staff, cleanliness and proximity to everything.

Room and linens were super clean. Staff were all super friendly and accommodating. Continental breakfast is next level good. Coffee is very good quality. And a pool, small business center, and close proximity to everything? Hot water and with a bathtub and not just a shower stall? This place is great!

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!
