Top Ithaca Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Ithaca - University Area

Quality Inn Ithaca - University Area

8/10 Good
"We used the quality in for a one night stay while visiting a son in college. For that it was ok. They had a technical failure; the key machine was broken, so we could not get room keys, and had each time ask the receptionist to open the door, but I assume that is a unique event. But the breakfast space is much too small, I think it has only six tables, so almost everyone had to take the breakfast back to the room, and eat while sitting on the bed. This really is not comfortable. In general the hotel is understaffed. So if you are staying for one night, it is sufficient and cheap."
