We stayed at this Clarion the night of February 8, 2013. It is not as bad as some of the reviews indicate. It is in need of upgrading, especially the lobby and hallways. The room was fine, clean and everything worked. Some reviews were concerned about safety of the location. I didn't see a problem. It is off I-81 in... More

To be honest I have not even stayed at this place yet but judging by the look of it I won't be staying there. Hotwire calls this place a 3 star, same rating a Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn. So when I booked through Hotwire I thought it would be one of the previously mentioned hotels downtown. When this place... More

This is an awful hotel; outdated, scary, and in a horrible location. I felt extremely unsafe staying here. The first room they gave me was littered with grime, dirt, and renovation materials. The second, on the lower level next to the parking lot, was located down a dark, dingy hallway that I felt I'd be attacked from at any second.... More

If you didn't know that this was the hotel your booking was at, you'd think it was deserted. The outside is in shambles, and if you had a low-profile car, you wouldn't be able to drive through the parking lot because it is so awful and full of pot holes. The room was not much better, with wallpaper pealing, drywall... More

At first sight, curb appeal was the first warning to me that this place was not up to my standards. The outside was not cared for. The siding and style was reminiscent of the 1950's and looked like it hadn't been cared for since then. Lobby was fine and inviting enough. When we were directed to our room, I became... More

I was not really inpressed with the hotel but at 02:30 a.m. when I attempted to pack the safe woudn't open. The Front Desk(She) first gave me a lecture on how to open the safe and after explaining I travel often and never had this problem, she explains to me she never had this problem and I would have to...

I was a little apprehensive about staying here given all the bad reviews but it was the only place we could get for a price that wasn't out of sight. We stayed there one night in August 2012 on Cornell's dormitory move-in day. Most of the hotels wanted you to stay 3 nights and they wanted way too much. The... More

Do not book a room at this hotel unless you like dark hallways and the smell of mold in the room. No staff in site and we were told breakfast would be across the highway at the Ramada Inn! The better business bureau should shut this place down.

We travelled the past weekend the Finger Lake region and stayed for two nights at the Clarion hotel in Ithaca. While it is true that the hotel is in dire need of renovations, upgrades and a good general cleaning, the service staff were outstanding throughout all encounters. The room (243) was spacious, the beds were exceptional comfortable and very clean,... More
