Exterior doors that lead to rooms are unlocked and not secure. Hotel is in a mediocre area. However the room was very clean and in great condition. Breakfast was standard continental plus powdered scrambled eggs and meat for hot options.

They do a nice job on breakfast and keep it open a little later so that there’s a possibility to sleep in. The staff is friendly and it’s very convenient to campus.

Great pool and breakfast area. The staff were wonderful. The carpet in the rooms makes the rooms smell musty and damp.

The room was clean and staff were friendly. We didn’t stay long enough to be able to use the outdoor pool,, but it looked well maintained. Breakfast was nice before we headed out. It was great that checkout time was noon, we didn’t feel rushed.

This hotel is 5 minutes away from the university, which is convenient for an early morning college visit. Nice breakfast included. Right next to a strip mall with a grocery store that closes at 10pm. The room was spacious and comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

For a family of 5, this was good for the money - the room was big enough, and the price was reasonable. One advantage of the layout (it is sort of motel-like except that the room entry doors are inside) is that you can park close to your room, which is nice. Breakfast was fine.

Ithaca is a college town. There was very limited things to do around. The hotel was large. They had a good breakfast and very friendly staff. They dont do early checkin for free though. So be prepared if you reach early. They have a shuttle van that take you to Cornell if you have to go there.
