Reasonable priced stay
I was in town for a reunion of my high school classmates and only staying one night. Price was reasonable. My surprise was how efficient, clean, and attractive was my room and the outside area. A nice continental breakfast was also supplied. The owner I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. Above and beyond I call it. No wonder they are listed as AAA.

Great stay for an economy hotel. Clean and appropriately maintained. The location is a bit out-of-the-way, but that is actually — for us — a bonus.

It was a place to sleep, and we were beyond exhausted by the time we got there but would have been better off taking a nap at a rest stop -- we didn't use the shower anyway because it was dirty. $100 to get a 4 hour nap in a damp room. We cracked the front door at 6am just for a breeze and extra light... Front desk had to be told multiple times our daughters were literally getting dressed and he just kept standing there. We'll be back to that area because it's gorgeous, but I wouldn't recommend this place unless you're traveling solo and don't care about a decent shower

The Inn is on a main road and noise from cars going by is constant. The room seemed clean but pretty run down. We arrived late and left early so it was fine but I dont think I'd enjoy a longer stay.

We always stay here when in Ithaca. It is always clean, & the staff are friendly & helpful. The property is a single-floor facility, & is located just outside the city, which is a plus for us.

Where the room was dated it was super clean and that's the most important thing to me, I don't really care about the lastest look in room design is, I just want a clean one. All amenities worked great, the wifi was a little slow but we just made the tablet a hotspot and problem solved. Location is close to all kinds of shopping, food and buttermilk falls. The gentleman at the desk at check in was just the sweetest man too. Would definitely stay again.

I like hubby- He try help a lot! Very polite, kind. I liked low price- don't mind if old- I'm old. Want clean & good mattress - it was okay for price. It was very noisy and guys were outside very late across the road- if lite sleeper, don't go! The heat kept shutting off and I wake cold, but I had to Self Pay for access to internet and I didn't know I wasn't getting calls or email until late night and my email voicemail & notifications all downloaded. I wasn't happy when I tried to play TV but password worked Next day I call, tell wife I don't mind TV not working but I cant stay more without wifi. She tell me when her hubby come he will fix and not to worry she won't charge b/c it not working. That lady is very difficult to understand her husband isn't. But it all went amuck she denied she said that but kept yelling at me- I had to move all my stuff to a new room that they said worked b/c its closer. Again, the husband very helpful but it took me a long long time to pack up then move all my stuff then unpack - From about 11 to 2pm. I had plans but when I went to see her, she denied she said. At first I was shocked but so tired I was just going to pay for the night I'm very ill, but she kept yelling at me and calling me a liar, so I told her I would take it up with Expedia and she got even more angry so even though I was extremely tired, I decided.."No! This isn't right!" So I moved all my things put in car & I left b4 I started shouting back- Warning Check room b4 u pay. NG

The place is poorly maintained. Dirt and bugs (both dead and live) everywhere. Carpet smelled and was extremely dirty. Bathroom door was damaged. Hair dryer was dangling from the wall, looks like it will fall anytime. Air conditioner is extremely noisy. Front lobby has a nasty smell. Owner doesn't even care to voluntarily change to new clean towels every day unless you ask for them. It's annoying that there is not even a hook for towels inside the shower corner, needless to say that no shampoo or conditioner is provided.

The Economy Inn Ithaca met our expectations as a lower cost motel. The building is older. The sleeping/living area was clean. The beds were reasonably comfortable. Air conditioning worked well and helped to block road noise (motel is close to state highway). The bathroom was nicely cleaned and shower worked well. Overall, we had a good experience and would consider staying again.
