Fantastic Staff! Nice welcoming and we arrived very late( sorry for that). New owners ,they are updating some rooms, they apologised for the inconveniences, but it was nothing to apologise for. No noise or any disturbing or bothering situation. The room was more than clean and breakfast was fabulous: bagels, fruit, cheerios, milk, coffee, butter, yogurt…the only thing is that you have to eat it in your room. For us that is not a problem, on the contrary, the room was comfy to eat there. On the top of that, we had microwave, fridge, hair drier, iron … in the room,we were delighted, convenient location to visit the Finger lakes. We wish you all the best!

I wish we could have stayed more days

This was my favorite hotel stay this trip, and I’ve had quite a few. The room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable. The staff were helpful and kind. The breakfast included fresh fruit and orange juice In addition to the pastries and cereal options. I loved the decor. and that is what made it unique. It was not your typical blah neutral tans and grays but instead had a multicolored bedspread and a pink tiled bathroom wall with a maroon border as was popular in the 40’s and 50’s. The room key was metal, not electronic. For me it brought back memories of the way travel used to be and some of the wonderful customs that we have lost along the way. All in all, it was a delightful stay.

A very underrated motel. The room was large and quiet. The motel is in the middle of a major upgrade. However, our room was as neat as a pin, despite it's age. The rooms were also very quiet. We didn't realize that the construction were working on our lsdt morning until we walked outside. We are looking forward to staying there on our next trip to the Ithaca area. I am also pretty sure there is a bus stop very nearby.

Hoping that the mattresses are also updated.

It’s an older property, but very clean and comfortable. I stay here every time I come for business. I’m in the medical imaging business and CORNELL university is my client. It’s not the Sheraton Grand in Chicago I stayed the night before. I can see a Sheridan grand hotel in Chicago and then stay here at the Embassy in the next night and be happy, most people should be happy too.

It’s not stylish, but it’s five minutes away from my final destination, it’s priced very economically, comfortable and clean.

I rarely stay in low-priced motels, but this one exceeded expectations. I chose it because all the regular hotels in Ithaca were sold out or the prices had skyrocketed because of the Dead & Co concert at Cornell. Turned out, the parking lot was full of old dead heads in fancy cars. The location is very convenient to Cornell, the wifi was great, and the room was clean. For an inexpensive motel - it was a great choice. I"ll certainly be back.

I love that it was a bit from Ithaca so you get some peace and quiet. Family-ran establishment so you’re not giving your money to large corporations but helping to feed an honest family. I have also never stayed in a cleaner place in my life!

Nothing! Some may want the rooms to be updated but I was told those changes were coming. Personally I’d rather have a clean room versus something hip.

Breakfast was more than adequate, with some good extra grab and go foods which weren’t there under previous management.

The thermostat did not work so we were unable to turn up the temperature in the room. The bathroom was so chilly that we elected to defer showering until we returned home. It was only a one night stay, however, and management probably fixed the problem after we left.

Location is off the beaten path, vehicle necessary to get to places to eat. Could not find a pizza place that delivered. Great value fir the room. It was clean enough space for 1. Given location they should upgrade linens and towels and bathroom amenities. Would recommend and book again.

They should work out delivery service with a couple local places.

The room, office/breakfast room, and grounds were all very clean. The place is under new ownership and you can tell that they are working on making it a great place to stay.

The back of the building was a bit too dark for walking my dog at night. The location is close to work, but we just moved to another location to be closer to grocery stores, etc.

The room was exactly what we expected, a clean, basic and comfortable place to lay our heads at night while we explored the region during the day. Reasonably priced compared to places in Ithaca itself and yet close enough that we didn't feel like we were driving forever to get back and forth. We would definitely stay here again.

Breakfast is more of a "breakfast snack" but we expected that from other reviews.
