Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 20 Oct 2009 rated 1 out of 10.

Not to be recommended.

Positives: They provided waffles for breakfast.

Negatives: Rooms were unclean, a terrible odor in halls and in room-way overpriced for the value.

This hotel is poor in almost every category that matters. Primarily, the rooms and hallways are run-down, there is no elevator, the stairways have beer bottles and cigarette stubs, and the place is a mess. The front desk clerk was pleasant.

Positives: nothing I can think of

Negatives: dirty, run-down, poor location (in parking lot of shopping center)

We've stayed at practically all the Ithaca hotels during the past eleven years. The EconoLodge is our favorite.

Positives: It's equally close to downtown Ithaca and the Cornell campus.

Negatives: The hotel parking lot was closed for repaving. Guests had to park in the adjacent mall parking lot. I would like to have known that before hand.

Too much going on for not enough staff. Room was not ready when promised and no compromises were made. Room was clean, and comfortable. when it was ready.

Positives: The availability on race weekend.

Negatives: Check-in was 1:00, the room was not ready.

Everything in the room was dirty. The air conditioner was loud, traffic was loud, people were loud. I complained to the front desk and they merely said, 'Thank you for letting us know.' They did not move us to another room or help us in any way. We were traveling with our infant and I was too afraid to let her loose in that room because it was so filthy. The breakfast in the morning was supposed to make it all worth it. It was quite the opposite actually. Everything was empty, there was no attendant, no employees anywhere to be seen. We had to ring the bell to check out, and a grumpy lady came up, took our room card, and said goodbye. That was it. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: Everything.

Pleasant, quiet, and clean. Very helpful, friendly staff. Close to several restaurants and near the highway without being troubled by highway noise.

Positives: Very helpful staff, clean environment.

Negatives: Dreary location in the back of a half empty strip mall.

The hotel was very loud and people using foul language. At one point I thought that a fight was going to happen. This was continued until 2 AM. In the morning when I reported the events of the evening, the front desk seemed very indifferent about our complaint.

Positives: It was off the main highway, near restaurants and shopping area.

Negatives: Very loud in the early morning 2 AM.

Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. Close to mall and supermarket. Ample parking. The informal make your own breakfast and waffles were pleasant. We only stayed one night but would recommend it for a short stay for the price. The king size bed was very uncomfortable but everything else was worth the price.

Positives: The informal make your own waffles and breakfast in the morning. The proximity to mall.

Negatives: Bed was very uncomfortable.

We would return because it was easy to get in and out of the area and it was close to shopping. The employees were friendly and the free breakfast was nice. Our room was clean and nice as well.

Positives: They had good free breakfasts and friendly employees.

Negatives: No elevator to our room and our key would not work in one of the outside doors so we had to walk to another door further away.

Located in a shopping plaza, but this aside and it's perfectly adequate to sleep at when you are traveling.

Positives: Waffles.

Negatives: Underperforming Loud AC.

Good value for money since its affordable and comes with free wifi and breakfast. A bit of a travel though for those going to Cornell University & downtown Ithaca, especially if you don't have your own car. The nearest bus stop is across the highway. But very near a grocery and the Pyramid Mall.

Positives: Good value for money with free wifi and breakfast.

Negatives: Bus stop is across the highway.

Decent but well worn facilities. Very expensive relative to quality level.

Positives: Location was convenient.

Negatives: Far too expensive for the overall fair, poor quality of facilities.
