"Good location - close to IC and downtown Ithaca"

"Free hotel shuttle back to ITH airport. Staffs are very nice and friendly. I tripped while in College Town, hotel staff offered various first aids to help me bandage up! You might be able to get the shuttle service from ITH to the hotel. Just need to call 2-3 days before arrival."
"What a welcome surprise this spot was! My husband, myself and our puppy travel for our job so we stay in quite a few places. We expected this to be just like any lower priced hotel - a place to sleep and hopefully a decent shower. I was absolutely blown away. The front desk was so welcoming, gave us some great pizza recommendations and even welcomed our ornery pup with pets and treats! Every time we took her out she drug us to the office looking for more, lol! Our room was so clean, great attention to detail, Katie! The property is pretty neat with some really nice grassy areas, there’s a pool that will be great in season! I believe this hotel may have spoiled us because the next night our hotel was so disgusting we actually demanded a refund and slept in our truck.
We never know where our travels will take us but we will definitely choose this location any opportunity we get. Thank you all for such a great experience.
Don’t pass this place up, it’s definitely a hidden gem 🙂"

"It’s a very nice and comfortable place to stay. They have nice staff and morning breakfast . the only thing that might be an issue is the parking and access road has pot holes "
