What's nearby

  • With hiking trails circling a lake, visiting Sapsucker Woods is a quiet reprieve where you can observe chipmunks skittering about and the various bird species of the area plus those who are migrating through. In late September/early October it’s a leafers dream with beautiful foliage the closer to the lake you get. #hiking #birdwatching #foliage

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Pleasant, clean, and the amenities were a nice surprise, particularly the indoor and outdoor pools. Breakfast was better than what you find at some of the chain hotels as they actually have items like freshly cooked eggs, home fries, sausage and french toast. The place is a bit outdated but if you’re willing to look past that, it’s a nice option for a stay in Ithaca.
