Top hotels in South Side
Super 8 by Wyndham Ithaca
Clean room, nice motel, continental breakfast, close to many stores. Easy to get to. Man that is at the front desk at night goes out of his way to help you if you have a problem. Only problem we have is figuring out the remote for the tv. We stay here often.
