given its ranking near the bottom of the tripadvisor lists, we were pertty hesitant, but its not bad. definately an old style motel: parking at the door, long dreary corridors, dim lighting, worn carpets and furniture from decadses ago. so if you can deal with all that, not bad. comfy bed, adequate if not outstanding, AC and bathroom, and a...

Check in was quick and easy. The guy at the desk was very nice. On the way to the room the hall way smelled of smoke, however, the room itself had no issues. I always check hotel rooms for bed bugs. There were no signs of any. The beds had newer linens and each had 3 pillows. My daughter &... More

Stayed here to visit Ithaca College. Located room through Choice Hotels website but made the huge mistake of not checking reviews on TripAdvisor first. The front desk was staffed by a very friendly, nice woman but that is the only good thing I can say about this place. Got in 9 pm and went to dinner. Made mistake of not... More

For the price, this is an excellent hotel in Ithaca. It is a quick drive to the main campus of Cornell, and is across the street from the Ithaca mall. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and there is a great breakfast available for no extra charge in the morning. The rooms are well updated with flat screen... More

We were traveling to Ithaca for Family Weekend and the only place that had a room was the Econo Lodge. We had stayed in Econo Lodge's before and they were acceptable. This place was a dump. My daughter took a video of the room that was offered to them and you would not believe what it looked like. One bed... More

Stayed here for one night during a brief visit to our college-age daughter at Cornell. It's convenient to Cornell's north campus and restaurants north of campus. Room was on the small side and had only one bed. It was pretty expensive for this kind of place and this was not a busy weekend for Ithaca from what I could see.... More

Truly the worst thing a customer at a hotel can experience is to have bed bugs bite you all over your body. BED BUGS bit me all over, and ruined all my trip. The breakfast isn't even that great either. The bread and all the juices are terrible. For the price, one could just save it, sleep on a bench... More

We enjoyed our stay at this EconoLodge. Very clean and breakfast was a little more than usual rolls and coffee. King-size bed was very comfortable. A little tricky to find, but front-desk was very helpful in giving directions. Just north of downtown area, away from the traffic and noise, which was nice.

We were returning to Southern New England from a trip out to Western New York and had to stop over in Ithaca. We booked our room a couple days ahead of time and were surprised that an Econo Lodge would charge $139. What's so "econo" about that? I asked why and they said that there was "an event in the... More
