Ithaca hotels from HK$474

"There was no free breakfast, which completely surprised me. That is usually a given these days. The room was a nice size and was well-appointed. There was no maid service because we were only staying two nights. That was also unexpected. We were looking forward to relaxing in the hot tub, but when we went in, a teenager with crocs on was in it, tons of thick foam, which was dirty as well. When we mentioned it at the front desk, we were told "that's just how it is," As someone who has traveled extensively, that is NOT how how tubs "just are." Finally, while we had a great customer service experience our first night (help with a frozen tv system, and getting extra towels), the next evening we had rude service. We were in a deaf-accessible room by chance and the bright door alarm lights came on. We couldn't figure out how to turn them off. A staff member came up and eventually figured out that it was one of the light switches we hadn't seen. He abruptly left, letting the door slam shut as we were still talking to him. Overall, not the quality experience I expect from the Courtyard brand. "

"Window locks were broken, refrigerator was also broken, and so was the air conditioner. The shower rod was 2 seconds away from snapping off. Hair left in the shower, trash and ash on the bathroom floor. Wouldn’t recommend "

"Yes "

"It’s a no frills, easy access, quiet place to stay. The owners are friendly. The rooms are clean. Parking at the room door is convenient. We have stayed there several times and will continue to go there. "

"Every time I visit my student at CMU this is where I stay. Love the staff and property. This last time there were a few flops. Pool was ice cold. The light in my room was burnt out and the heat was all over the place. I’ll stay again no questions asked. "

"The check-in was fine once we got used to the locks. The house is old with character. Rooms are large and would be great for a large family. The beds were comfortable and there were extra blankets available. One shower stall is very small and hard to maneuver in. A hand shower would be easier to use. The other bathrooms were fine. It was nice to have plenty of boxes of tissues. There were no amenities in the cupboards like salt and pepper, sweetners and cream packets for coffee or, dish detergent for hand washing. The toaster was broken. There were paper filters. It could stand a little more cleaning like around bathroom fans and smeared marks on the cupboards, but not a major deal for most. It is in a good location, close to churches and downtown. Furniture was comfortable and it had a good internet connection, but TV channels were limited to free oldies or we didn't know how to tune cable channels in. Nice to have a VRBO in Chesaning. "

"There were plenty of rooms for everyone and lots of space. We ended up 20 people of all ages and had plenty of room. The kids and the adults enjoyed the game room upstairs. Just know that the kitchen is not set up for a lot of cooking. We brought prepared meals, but I know there are catering options. Thankfully there is plenty of refrigerator space. "

"Insulated cups for hot beverages in room but no coffee pot. No access for ice machine. Very noisy. Neighbors disruptive. Appears police were called."

"Very small rooms in this old-fashioned roadside motel. Some cosmetic upgrades have taken place but there's only so much you can do for an old cinder block building. The biggest problem was heat. It's radiant heat with no way to control it. They have a fake thermostat for a central air furnace on the wall, but it does nothing. It's March and the only way to get the heat below 80 is to leave windows open! Doesn't feel to safe leaving ground level windows open. We were roasting hot. We also had ants. The mattress was super hard, so in conjunction with the heat, we didn't sleep much. The motel is pet friendly, which means they charge you $20 per night for pets. Not sure how this qualifies as friendly. Our dog didn't use linens, towels, or eat some dry cereal from their "continental breakfast" so I'm not sure why we paid more. Might be better to be here in summer and use the wall mounted air conditioner, but we'll never come back in winter. "
