I was in Ithaca for a business trip and stayed at the Inn based on previous stay, very comfortable.
Pros:

I especially liked that the breakfast had healthy options, like the oatmeal with fixings and the fruit. The room was perfectly fine and a good value.

Cons:

Nothing in particular, but you could upgrade the soap and toiletries in the bathroom a bit more.

It would have been okay if we had 2 rooms. I feel we were the victims of false marketing
Pros:

Good location, buffet breakfast was nice.

Cons:

The room was listed as a king with a pull out bed that could accommodate 4 people. The pull out was listed as a full bed. It was in fact a twin bed with very little support. It could probably hold a toddler but not much else. I called downstairs to ask if they had a roll away bed. They said no and tried to convince me that the pull out was slightly smaller than a full.

Pros:

Nice hotel with confortable beds.

Cons:

Not up to Marriott standards. The service was rude and unsupportive, and the breakfast was served using disposable paper plates and plastic utensils. Very cheap feel for a premium brand.

Kaip ir patogu, bet pusryčiai tikrai galėtų būti geresni.
Pros:

Patogi lova. Nebloga viešbučio vieta- netoli „Butter milk falls state park“, arti parduotuvės tokios kaip REI, Wegmans, netoli yra kur pavalgyti, pvz. Texas Roadhouse.

Cons:

Pusryčiai tikrai galėtų būti geresni. Gana menkas pasirinkimas. Visi indai vienkartinio naudojimo. Gana prasta kavai, ir nuolat pasibaigusi grietinėlė prie kavos. Televizorius be valdymo pultelio, pultelis tik priedeliui valdyti, per kurį itin prastas prisijungimas, norint prijungti kompiuterį- nepalaiko raiškos, neryškiai. prijungus tiesiogiai negalima garso valdyti. Triukšmingas temperatūros palakymas- labai jau ūžia pūtimas.

Pros:

The cleanliness, the amazing shower, the delicious breakfast!

Cons:

The pool was cold-not heated. The atmosphere was cold in the room where the pool is. They should be heated during wintertime. I couldn’t get in the water.
