Quality Inn Ithaca - University Area

Buttermilk Falls State Park Ithaca|2.55km from city center
Ithaca is hotel challenged to begin with, it’s not unheard of to pay $220 plus dollars to stay at the Rodeway - granted it’s remodeled - but it’s still a motel people. Having stayed at nearly all the economically priced options in ithaca here’s the truth - it’s slim pickings and those pretty photos they post - it’s usually a bold face bordering on ridiculous lie - the Quality Inn is no different. There are many vagrants in the parking lot all night, just having a good ole time. In the morning are the remnants and litter of Natural Ice cans and HUNDREDS of cigarette buts stacked in an ashtray. It’s really truly bad. I know it’s cheap. But Unless you’re stuck, do your best to avoid it. The staff. The saving grace was the nightshift woman. She seemed genuinely personable and caring. But that’s it. The others? From John to all the daytime ladies - well, someone must of crushed all their dreams, because they’re mopey bordering on angry. The highest level of service you should expect is for them to tolerate your presence in their lobby. Go ahead - you smile, be kind, ask them how they’re day is. If you get above resting bitter face consider yourself lucky. If you get a “have a nice day” you must have achieved pinnacle status of Choice points. If by some miracle they break a smile - it’s probably at you. I was there four days - they don’t greet you from the front desk - you’ll greet them when they arrive from whatever cave they hide in because they’re never at the front unless they have to be. It’s pretty clear none of them want to be there - can’t say I blame them. If your magnet key fails (as 5 of mine did, and the person’s behind me as well) there is a 100% chance that John will say to you “well, you must have deactivated it.” Doesn’t matter that you carefully guarded it from every magnet and electrical field on planet Earth. Even if you stored it in a hermetically sealed box John will let you know - it’s definitely your fault. Because it’s impossible for their grime filled worn to crap 1990 magic magnetic encoder could be the source of the issue. The room: the bed was comfortable - The pillows were good and it looked clean. Then there’s that delightful jacuzzi bath for your aching back. Well, you better be prepared to clean that sucker, cause evidently no one else will. Perhaps a discount for each glop of hair? You make peace with the fact that things are worn and dated at this price point, but why can’t they be clean? See the photo of the floor - I thought it was wet in two large spots, but it’s some kind of polyurethane spill (that’s what I’m telling myself, you can touch it if you want to know. I won’t.) There’s other problems too - but that’s enough. I checked out two days early. They kept one night’s payment. That’s the way it goes!

Hampton Inn Ithaca

Hampton Inn Ithaca

Buttermilk Falls State Park Ithaca|2.32km from city center
WARNING: DO NOT STAY HERE! The Hampton Inn Ithaca was one fo the worst hotel experiences of my life. First of all, this place claims to be pet friendly, but they charged me a $100 non-refundable pet fee for my emotional support pet. You are also not allowed to leave your pet unattended in the room at any time. Doesn't seem very pet friendly to me. Furthermore, the rooms were disgusting. The bathrooms and surfaces had clearly not been cleaned and there was trash under the couch. We had them move us to a different room, but the new room was just as dirty. The pool was also closed, which was a bummer, but the hotel staff said not to use the jacuzzi either because the filters circulated fecal matter and they could not do anything about it. We tried to watch TV in our hotel room in the evening, but they do not provide Netflix or anything and the TV channels all were picking up a lot of static to the point where it was difficult to watch anything. The hotel is also supposed to offer free breakfast, which I guess they do if you consider a waffle maker and some sausages breakfast. The spread was severely lacking any substance or effort. The hotel staff also was not very friendly or helpful. We didn't have very high expectations for this hotel, but it still managed to disappoint. The Hampton Inn Ithaca basically ruined our weekend trip. The conditions were worse than most motels. Save your money and stay somewhere else!

The Dorm Hotel
4.6/5103 Reviews
The room is so small, cleaning every day is to change garbage bags and bath towels. But the staff is very welcoming, the location is close to Connor, every day to go out to eat to climb the slope, who let that is Kangcun 😂
Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons
4.4/5106 Reviews
The rooms in lobby were super clean and spacious. Complementary coffee was available at the front desk in the morning. You could dine at the restaurant indoors or outdoors which we did not take advantage of. The hotel's in a perfect location downtown so we checked out the restaurants in the area
Canopy by Hilton Ithaca Downtown
4.6/5107 Reviews
For the children to go to Cornell University summer research, compare several hotels in Ithaca, and finally choose this cost-effective one. In the past, there were more choices of Hilton hotels, and this one did not disappoint us. The child arrived at noon on July 28th and had not yet arrived at check-in time. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming and checked in immediately, allowing the child to rest after dozens of hours of boat and car straining. For a few days in the hotel, we can feel the thoughtful and meticulous service of the hotel, the quality of breakfast is also very good, and the need for defense under the epidemic has taken care of us thousands of miles away. The hotel is very close to Cornell University and college town. The child is very satisfied and willing to recommend this hotel to friends.
