The atmosphere is clean, quiet, and inviting. They have done a good job making the rooms comfortable with decent amenities, nice tiles, and organization. Attention to detail could have been done with the exhaust fan in the bathroom and sticking front and bathroom door. Overall, a good stay

This place was a hidden gem. Nicely updated with quality materials. Clean and I felt very safe. Family owned, nice, helpful, and accommodating. The air conditioner wasn’t great, but thankfully the windows could open. Breakfast was a bit sparse, but at least they offered enough to start the day. This would be my first choice if I’m the area

This place was great. It's a 10 minute trip from downtown Ithaca, so it might be an issue if you're staying here without a car. If you do have a car, I would highly recommend staying here. Super clean and updated rooms at a great price. It might not look like much from the outside, but it's a great property and an excellent value.

This motel is a gem on the outskirts of town. I’m very skeptical of any older roadside motel, but my room had been completely updated, was clean, well stocked with fresh towels, had a mini fridge and microwave and exceeded my expectations. In fact, having stayed at other better known chain hotels/motels in or closer to town, this was a much better stay, and the quiet off the beaten path quality was really a plus. The staff was super accommodating, booking a second night stay at a competitive price, and the simple breakfast offerings were all I needed. I will definitely stay here again.

When you look at the outside, you don't expect the rooms to be as nice as they are. The room was a decent size. The bathroom was nice--definitely updated with a high-tech mirror. The bed was a little soft for me, but I like a very firm mattress. It would probably be fine for most people.
