This is a well located hotel for exploring Ithaca and its surroundings. The room we had was large and clean. The sheets seemed a little worn out- not as comfortable as in other hotels. Overall, though, a fine place to stay.

It's a nice hotel. The property is well kept and the staff friendly. My slight negatives are the bedding is far from first rate. Pillows were hard and the sheets were rough. Also the continental breakfast was $7
