Nice price: thirty to fifty percent less than other motels in Ithaca, NY, last night. Room was clean, warm (very warm, which was very important because outside temperature was near zero) and dry. Desk clerk was a very pleasant, attractive, well-mannered Asian woman.
Very friendly couple who own and manage this property. Room was very comfortable and clean. Property is in good condition. Convenient to downtown and shopping.
I would stay here again.
Nice couple who own it. We have stayed here several times. Hotel is a bit run down but the beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. For the price, it is way worth it. If you are the type of picking mini who is going to complain because you want a five star hotel for a two star price, then stay somewhere else. If you want a clean comfortable place to sleep at a good price than this is the place for you.
Folks, the room was warm, clean and cozy! The TV worked sporadically, but fortunately the WiFi worked well. Breakfast was a little sparse but ok. I'll be back next year.
It had all the usual ameniies (even a full-size ironing board!) except coffee. Fully and successfully renovated; only the rusty door hinges revealed its age.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room was very clean! Very small motel, small/narrow parking space. Noise from traffic made it hard to sleep, for a person that's a light sleeper.
This is older Hotel but they do a nice job of keeping the room clean. Was a wonderful location. Just what we needed for a place to rest after a long day.
We always stay here when in Ithaca. It is always clean, & the staff are friendly & helpful. The property is a single-floor facility, & is located just outside the city, which is a plus for us.
