Clean, small hotel with ample parking when we were there. Room was comfortable (bed, sink, toilet, shower, desk with bench). No refrigerator or coffee maker in room and limited snacks for purchase in lobby. Common refrigerator in lobby for guests to use. Mattress was too soft for us and one pillow per person (we prefer more). Good location close to downtown.

Budget Friendly Option

This is a budget friendly option in Downtown Ithaca. It's a convenient location, but does have some drawbacks like tight parking and small rooms. That said, it was clean and a good value compared to other hotels in the area.

Floor was dirty, had to call someone for help as they don’t man the front counter unless called. Bathroom dirt would not stay shut. Shower is small and placement of shower head you can’t escape spray to see anything. Shower also leaked onto bathroom floor. Cramped and no place to sit and few surfaces to place anything on. Bed remind me of stuffed mattress, very uncomfortable. You cannot control the temperature of your room, it’s all preset. Tv does not do CC. Cleaning performed outside of main floor rooms at bedtime. Very few instructions on how to utilize amenities in main room. Just overall more of a hassle and little privacy.
