The property was clean. It is situated between a strip mall and an apartment complex. It was quiet all day and night. The strip mall has a grocery store and a take-out Chinese restaurant. There is also a Walgreen pharmacy across the street from the grocery store. The outside and inside of the property was clean. The breakfast was good and they had a clean dining area. The fitness room was clean and had a number of machines for weight resistance training.

Great place, clean, comfortable and convenient
This was our first time staying at this hotel. When my husband attended the game/comic con in Ithaca, we chose this place, and I was very satisfied with it. Ithaca is not a big town, so while the hotel is outside the downtown area, it’s still close to everything, especially the campus. There’s a P&C Market and Collegetown Bagels next to the hotel. The breakfast was good, and the room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The fireplace was a nice bonus.

Pleasant and functional
We were greeted and serviced quickly by friendly front-desk staff upon check-in. Our fireplace room was fine with a firm king-sized mattress and 4 pillows. There was one desk chair and one padded chair. The heater could be more efficient... it worked well, but the air blew behind the heavy curtain so the sensor registered it being warmer in the room than it was. I kept turning the heat up during the night as there was only one sheet with a light comforter. The room and furnishings were clean and all were functioning. The shower was stocked with dispensers for soap, shampoo, and conditioner, along with bar soaps, shower cap, and facial cream sample. We had to park a ways from our room when we returned at 11 p.m. as the parking lot was quite full. Our room was very quiet at night in spite of the hotel seeming very full. Breakfast was well stocked and attended and included hot and cold dishes. I didn't sample the meat, which looked like a cross between bacon and ham, but I made an egg and cheese sandwich that was tasty. Juice , water, and coffee were available any time. It was just outside of Ithaca, but easy to get to and close enough to the city center that we could go back & forth between activities.
