Great stay
We were hesitant about staying at this hotel but trusted recent reviews and it did not disappoint. It was on a great location, owners were kind/generous, and the room was exactly what we wanted. We received a free upgrade prior to arrival which was unexpected. Would stay here again with family if we return to the Ithaca area.

Very pleasant staff. A bed that was so comfortable that I didn't want to get up. And a surprisingly good breakfast that included boiled eggs and bagels, not just sweet stuff. Highly recommended.

Price wasn't terrible but still more than expected, updated furniture and fixtures. Smaller than expected room size but overall a decent experience.

Great Place to stay!
The room was brand new. New carpeting - very clean - new bathrooms - refrigerator - microwave. The outside looks worn but the rooms are fresh and new. The new AC fan, however, was very loud. Additionally, the bedspread should be swapped out for a double sheet over a quilt. There were plenty of towels and built in soap - shampoo - conditioner and lotion bottles. Very nice owners.

Easy check in, nice shower! There was a damp smell in the room which went away after we ran the AC for a little bit.

Amazing Place to Stay
Love, love, love this cute little hotel in Ithaca!
This is a motel-style facility (drive up to your room) that has been completely renovated. The rooms are so beautifully decorated and clean. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms lovely. Each room has a fridge and microwave. It is in a somewhat rural area and so quiet with nice views from each room. Breakfast in the morning is simple but high quality.
It is run by a lovely family who are so kind and polite. It is far better than you usually get at this price point. This is a hidden gem, as the other reviews say. Definitely try it out!!

The motel was recently updated and aplears to still be updating rooms via the construction roll off box fkr debris disposal.
Our room was clean and fresh, mattress firm and received extra pillows. Management very friendly and accomadating. Professionally run facility.
