We had a great experience here while visiting a college in town. The room was recently remodeled, it was immaculately clean and it was quiet. The staff was friendly and check in and check out were super quick. They also just (like a week ago!) added EV chargers on property! Really great experience and we will stay there again.

Check in staff was very nice and efficient. Place was spotless and property had recently been totally updated. Very quiet and peaceful stay. Comfy bed. Close to Ithaca. Only issue is shower did faucet did not work properly and shower did not stay hot. Heat in room was a bit confusing/weak. Great value for the money.

This was a two day stay with daily bookings at 4 PM on Expedia because of a fluid situation. Two different rooms. Both clean and functional. The breakfast meets my needs and the coffee is very good.
