Nice price: thirty to fifty percent less than other motels in Ithaca, NY, last night. Room was clean, warm (very warm, which was very important because outside temperature was near zero) and dry. Desk clerk was a very pleasant, attractive, well-mannered Asian woman.

Nice couple who own it. We have stayed here several times. Hotel is a bit run down but the beds are comfortable and rooms are clean. For the price, it is way worth it. If you are the type of picking mini who is going to complain because you want a five star hotel for a two star price, then stay somewhere else. If you want a clean comfortable place to sleep at a good price than this is the place for you.

Room was very clean! Very small motel, small/narrow parking space. Noise from traffic made it hard to sleep, for a person that's a light sleeper.

Is this an old motel? Absolutely. Is it run down? Absolutely not. Yes, it has that 90s vibe with dated furniture, carpet, and an old-school phone, but it’s surprisingly well-kept. The sheets looked clean—no visible stains or hair (maybe I was lucky, but I appreciated it). Towels were neatly hung, and even the toilet paper was folded nicely. You can tell the owners put effort into upkeep, and everything in my room worked as it should—heat, hot water, hair dryer, etc. Of course, this isn’t the Hilton. If you’re expecting something fancy, this won’t be for you. But if you’re on a road trip or just need a place to sleep, this motel does the job well—and it’s one of the most reasonably priced options near Ithaca. I’d stay here again and would recommend it if you keep your expectations realistic.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The stay was UNPLEASANT for the following reasons: 1. Unauthorized Credit Card Charge. The owner charged my credit card before my arrival, which I believe is a violation of policy. She claimed she was "waiting for us to arrive." We arrived at 8:00 PM, and she never attempted to contact us to verify our arrival. This charge was inappropriate, as we were not a no-show. 2. Misrepresentation of Breakfast- Expedia clearly showed that breakfast was included, and the owner confirmed this upon check-in. However, the "breakfast" provided was unacceptable: only six small muffins, water, and coffee. When we inquired, the owner brought one additional muffin and said that was all. This was misleading and absolutely not as advertised. Her attitude was so indifferent 3. Room Facilities and Cleanliness Issues - No charging outlets near the bedside; only one outlet was located near the TV. The bathroom lacked basic necessities such as towel bars or hooks. The baseboards were extremely dirty and covered in dust, appearing as though they had not been cleaned for a very long time. 4. Unpleasant Room Condition and Refusal to Relocate - One of the two rooms we booked had a noticeable unpleasant odor. We requested to change the room, but the owner refused, claiming the hotel was sold out. However, we observed only three cars including ours parked at night until we left in the morning, which makes us seriously doubt her claim, since this is a location that you can’t reach by foot.

Beware of possible odors

Room offered had very bad odor. Had to reject it, but we were offered the room next door which smelled ok and a/c actually worked. Low budget room. What did I expect from the name?

They advertise free Wifi, however the wifi service was horrible. Both myself and my travel partner who had fairly new phones both had very little if any wifi service. When the room door was open or we were outside we had full service, but when we closed the door and was inside the room we barely had any service. When I complained about it the owner blamed my phone. I think not!! Totally unacceptable for the price I had to pay.
