They advertise free Wifi, however the wifi service was horrible. Both myself and my travel partner who had fairly new phones both had very little if any wifi service. When the room door was open or we were outside we had full service, but when we closed the door and was inside the room we barely had any service. When I complained about it the owner blamed my phone. I think not!! Totally unacceptable for the price I had to pay.

We always stay here when in Ithaca. It is always clean, & the staff are friendly & helpful. The property is a single-floor facility, & is located just outside the city, which is a plus for us.

This is what we were looking for. It was clean, quiet and the staff was friendly and helpful.
The property is old, so don’t expect much there, but we would definitely stay there again for the price.

Reasonable priced stay
I was in town for a reunion of my high school classmates and only staying one night. Price was reasonable. My surprise was how efficient, clean, and attractive was my room and the outside area. A nice continental breakfast was also supplied. The owner I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. Above and beyond I call it. No wonder they are listed as AAA.

Very small motel with a lot of differed maintenance. The grounds especially the back of the property are in serious need of upkeep. Entrance and parking is inconvenient.

Where the room was dated it was super clean and that's the most important thing to me, I don't really care about the lastest look in room design is, I just want a clean one. All amenities worked great, the wifi was a little slow but we just made the tablet a hotspot and problem solved. Location is close to all kinds of shopping, food and buttermilk falls. The gentleman at the desk at check in was just the sweetest man too. Would definitely stay again.

I was apprehensive upon check-in. Rooms were small and cramped, but clean and comfortable. Wifi was weak. The site was older but is being updated and cared for. new TV, AC, sidewalks, and windows. Overpriced, but at the time, I could find nothing else suitable. Stand-up shower had ample hot water. Would stay there again at a lower price.
