Very nice

The room was very clean and newly updated. Included all the expected amenities, plus a few extras, a nice lighted mirror for example. We were very happy with everything and would definitely stay here again.

The room was perfect and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The only complain was the air conditioner was a wall unit and was loud and blew directly on you as you slept. Otherwise perfect!

The motel is under new management and they have put effort into remodeling the rooms. Unfortunately the room smelled like a smoking room, and there was barely enough room between the bed and wall for a single stiff uncomfortable chair.

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.
