I stayed here well doing a work function at Cornell U and wanted to stay somewhere close to town and cheap. This was not the place. First of all it is not close to town. It is down a lonely desolate part of Hwy 13 which runs you out of town in the other direction. It is a one floor motel on top of a hill (there are no suites to be found here). It looked like a horror movie spot like Friday the 13th or something. It had a tiny dirty lobby and it took forever for me to get the front desk person out to assist me. The clientle staying here were just as scary. Ithaca is filled with hotels and why I never shopped around was beyond me, but this place is cheap for a reason. The rooms are all door to the parking lot and are very small and musty/damp. The beds are old and rickety and the linens smell as well. The bathroom and the shower were badly in need of upgrading. The carpet was old and if they have redone this place it will be a definite improvement. If you are going to stay here, make it for one night and not the two I had to spend here. Do yourself a favor and do not even bother. It is scary!

Stayed for 1 night, staff friendly, room was better than expected, totally updated bath, mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, desk, TV, free continental breakfast (mini-muffins, bagels, cheese omlettes, cereal, juice & coffee) free USA Today, property is about 1 1/2 miles from Ithaca city center, many restaurants/shopping just up the road, picked up a coupon from a travel magazine at an I90 rest stop to save a few bucks (coupon price $47.95), would recommend especially for the price.

Not a bad place to stay for a couple of nights. A bit far out of town. It is not spotlessly clean, but not filthy. The managers are very accommodating and very nice. Toilet, shower, refrigerator and heater worked. Avoid getting ripped off, however. My brother got charged for a queen room when his reservation was for a double. (Doubles are supposedly being redone). On the flip side, my sister had to bring her dog at the last minute, and no problem with that.

after reading other reviews of this motel we were pleasantly surprised by the size and condition of our rooms. they had a musty smell when we first entered but by turning on the a/c and spraying with fabreeze the odor was gone the rest of our four day stay. our rooms were clean and bug free. the furniture was dated and could be replaced,it in noway affected our stay for the nascar race 30 min. away. any request by our party was looked after promptly. while the continental breakfast was skimpy,it was about the only thing that was a disappointment. we will probably stay again next year

Stayed for 5 days. The room was (like) new from ceiling to carpet. Immaculate. Very comfy bed and pillows. Free wireless. Ergonomically designed desk chair. Many nice touches. Fridge, microwave, coffeemaker. Friendly family management. Pool was under construction because of updating. Sparse breakfast offerings, but the price was right. Overall, a very positive experience; much better than expected.
