Yuck
Pros:

This hotel is run down, to say the least. It seems that there is a new side and an older side (the taller tower), as the pics on the website of rooms did not match the room that we had and it was much more outdated. Furniture and drapery had stains, There was a large dehumidifier or air unit (unsure, as it was not powered on during our stay) hooked up to the window, stains in the bathtub made it very unappealing, mismatched lighting etc. The restaurant was a bit of a mess for breakfast. Front desk was pleasant and efficient, but couldn't accommodate our request to switch rooms due to being booked. It wasn't what we pictured from the website at all and I wish I had come to this site before booking for more reviews.

Great location, nice restaurant, free parking. Would stay here again.
Pros:

Conveint and clean. Not super fancy but just what we needed while in town for a college visit. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the dinner in the hotel. The restaurant was fantastic. Great burgers and super friendly manager! The kids didn't feel like venturing out so we stayed in, and glad we did.

Nice hotel in a good location for what Ithaca has to offer.
Pros:

The location was good for my needs. The parking lot seemed a bit small but I was able to find a spot each day so it wasn't an issue.

Cons:

Everything was as expected. A microwave in the rooms or available in a public location would've been nice.

It was very quiet and check-in was easy. The shower pressure was amazing. I liked the toiletries offered, especially the soaps.
