"This was an amazingly cheap hotel for Ithaca, and it was as good as if not better than hotels that charge double or more per night what this one does. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. The beds were probably the best I've slept in in a long time, which came as quick a shock. And the blankets and pillows were also fantastic. I literally had the best sleep that I've had in a while. It was so unexpected. The hotel is also very conveniently located near shopping and restaurants, as well as Cornell University. It is a little old and could do with a little updating, particularly the bathroom (some of the enamel had worn off on the sink), but overall, I'm convinced this is the best deal in Ithaca. I've heard that it's soon to undergo major renovations and become a Marriott, which is really unfortunate since I expect quality to go down and price to skyrocket. I hope they keep the staff, as they were extremely helpful."
