Adequate business hotel
Pros:

This is a large business hotel, without much charm but functional.

Cons:

There were many strange buzzing sounds in my room, and the window looked out at machinery, not the glorious foliage of Ithaca.

Good location, easy parking in a downtown area, friendly staff, clean rooms.
Pros:

The staff were all very helpful and accommodating. The room was clean. The location was convenient for what we had planned - lots to walk to.

Cons:

I think the value for what we paid wasn't quite there. It was a high price for a bare room. Our room did not have a sofa or a chair other than the desk chair, but I believe the Hotel was in the midst of replacing furniture.

Pulizia da migliorare
Pros:

L’hotel è in un’ottima posizione per girare la cittadina e visitare alcune cascate a piedi, offre il parcheggio gratuito non custodito.
Ristorante (pub) interno carino, buono, leggermente più caro della media dei ristoranti fuori.

Cons:

La camera era stata pulita male, abbiamo trovato tanta polvere e chiesto di pulirla meglio, per due volte hanno fatto finta di pulirla, ma non è cambiato assolutamente nulla. Hanno semplicemente svuotato il cestino.
Un ospite fumava erba in camera e appestava il corridoio, è stato segnalato alla reception, che non ha provveduto a riguardo.

We came to Ithaca for a show, and the Hotel was close, clean and friendly.
Pros:

Location, cleanliness, restaurant on site, and caramel corn and apples. Liked it was not a carpeted floor as it feels more hygienic than walking wear thousands of other people walked with their bare feet.

Cons:

Nothing stuck out.

Wax disappointing.
Pros:

The location was excellent.

Cons:

The room we were assigned had hair in both the sink and tub as well as garbage strewn about. We were assigned a different room but this room had a disgusting bathroom floor that needed a good washing. Housekeeping needs serious improvement. The pool was only 67 degrees. Way too cold to enjoy.

The noisiest hotel we’ve ever stayed in!
Pros:

Good central location for touring the Finger Lakes area.

Cons:

It sounded like the Ithaca Grand Prix was taking place nightly right outside our hotel room. By some distance the noisiest hotel room we have ever stayed in. Dreadful.
Also, really annoying that the connection to the WiFi drops off and you have to re-login after a day out or the next morning. Pretty hopeless in this day and age.
