The motel is under new management and they have put effort into remodeling the rooms. Unfortunately the room smelled like a smoking room, and there was barely enough room between the bed and wall for a single stiff uncomfortable chair.

Great stay

We were hesitant about staying at this hotel but trusted recent reviews and it did not disappoint. It was on a great location, owners were kind/generous, and the room was exactly what we wanted. We received a free upgrade prior to arrival which was unexpected. Would stay here again with family if we return to the Ithaca area.

No TV unless you have Amazon Prime or streaming accounts. No firestick remote, just tv remote which wasn’t working. If you are able, I would advise requesting a second floor room. LOTS of noise above us in our first floor room. VERY clean and very nice people.
