Super 8

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 22 Sep 2011 rated 7 out of 10.

The Super 8 in Ithaca was a pleasant surprise. I was a little hesitant as I have not stayed in a hotel of this rating before and did not know what to expect. Upon arrival, the lobby was pretty and clean and staff was friendly. I was glad that the rooms were clean and with a small child, this was important for me. Granted the rooms could use an upgrade, but overall it was more that I expected for the price paid. The breakfast was especially nice with a good selection of items, including a waffle maker. Overall, our stay at the Super 8 in Ithaca was pleasant.

Positives: I was pleasantly surprised by the available selection at breakfast. It was more than I expected for a continental breakfast.

Negatives: I cannot say that I did not like anything. It met my expectations for a hotel of this rating.

This is an acceptable (clean) motel but it is in great need of new carpet and bedspreads. It has a fraternity/dorm feel. There is a funny smell (I think deodorizer combined with cleaning material). The staff, however, is very accommodating and the location (although not scenic) is very convenient to both IC, Cornell, walking distance to downtown.

Positives: It has everything but it is dingy and has a funny smell.

Negatives: It reeks economy class.

Accommodations were adequate for my purposes - a decent bed, quiet, clean room and shower. Room was not frilly, but very acceptable. Staff was helpful and kind. Continental breakfast was delightful with large variety of breakfast treats and wholesome choices. WI-FI access was helpful. Would definitely try Super 8 in other towns/cities I visit.

Positives: Very Clean, very quiet, continental breakfast a plus.

Negatives: Nothing to say.

We found the front desk staff (the manager) very knowledgeable about the area and she helped us with directions and routed us around a detour. The Internet was easy to access in our room. Overall, we had a good night's rest and a pleasant experience.

Positives: The front desk staff was very helpful with directions and other needs.

Negatives: The breakfast offerings were limited. I would have liked fresh fruit.

We've stayed here before & found it was a convenient location & good hotel for the price. This time our first room was disgusting - lots of spiders because the window screen was bent & allowed them to get in. Some were smashed against the wall, one on the bed, several webs on the ceiling. Looked like the room hadn't been occupied or cleaned in weeks. They couldn't move us to another room until the next day. The new room was fine, except the heating didn't work and it was a bit too cold. The free breakfast with cereal, bagels, pastries, fruit, coffee & juices was very good. Staff was nice.

Positives: Friendly front desk & assistant manager.

Negatives: Spiders (dead & alive) everywhere in our first room.

This hotel is convenient, clean, and quiet. The lack of a pool and a small exercise room makes it less attractive to families. The staff was helpful and pleasant. This hotel was adequate for a quick weekend away for a couple without children.

Positives: The hotel was centrally located, clean, and quiet.

Negatives: There was no pool and the exercise room was very cramped.

Nothing fancy -- very utilitarian -- but it fit the bill. Pleasant staff at the front desk; sufficient continental breakfast; clean rooms/linens/shower; our non-smoking room was actually a non-smoking room.

Positives: Least expensive in area; Close to college.

Negatives: Surrounding area so-so; No elevator.

Priced right, clean & friendly, efficient staff. Will stay again & recommend to friends.

Positives: Clean, efficient & affordable.

Negatives: Location close to road & car dealership.

The hotel is located near several shopping areas. The staff was friendly and very helpful. My only issue was that we were reserved a smoking room vs. non-smoking. But the staff helped resolve this issue and all was well. Overall, I would stay here again.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: We were reserved a smoking room.

Located in a good spot on Route 13 south. The room was very clean and tasteful. The complimentary breakfast was fine, coffee, bagels, cereals and fruit and yogurt. It is near Wegmans, shopping and restaurants on Route 13 south, and close to Ithaca College. I would stay there again.

Positives: The hotel was very clean. Service was excellent. Great for one night. They even have a fitness room.

Negatives: The bed could be a little more comfortable.

Better assurance of non-smoking rooms would be appreciated. The smell was overwhelming and no amount of deodorizer could mask it!

Positives: The staff.

Negatives: The non-smoking room had absolutely been smoked in!
