I loved everything about this property! I only gave three stars for breakfast because it is a grab-and-go situation. Breakfast is as good as it could be, and the free coffee is top notch! There are also plenty of coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Excellent location near Cornell campus. Staff were great, room was clean, cozy atmosphere in common areas. Self-serve bar was an interesting feature. Rooms could use an extra armchair or sofa, so one person can sit at the desk and another person has a place to sit other than the bed.

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.

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.
