Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ithaca by IHG

Location is ok and easy to get to. Ithaca is not so large that you can’t get somewhere relatively quick. It is right next to the highway and we were in that side. Starting at about 4:45-5a the traffic noise really picked up. It’s cheaper than staying at one of the hotels in the Commons. Service was decent, so I’d say average. Breakfasts were good with a nice variety. ROOMS. We booked 2 rooms for the family. These are the standard Holiday Inn rooms. 0 stars beyond that. Our door would not close so we had to always pull it shut. For whatever reason, both rooms were ?? Pumped with humidity. I walked barefoot and the floor was tacky. My clothes felt damp. Just not a good experience. I’ve stayed at a good number of Holiday Inns and this one falls to the bottom in my opinion.

Rooms are clean, lots of breakfast options (6am-10am), friendly staff. The women that work the breakfast area are so sweet! Approximate distance to state parks: - Buttermilk Falls: 0.5 mile, 2 min - Robert H. Treman: 2 miles, 5 min - Taughannock: 11 miles, 14 min - Watkins Glen: 26 miles, 35 min Wegmans is right down the road. Ithaca Commons/downtown is about 8 minutes away. Close to so many thrift stores!! Really a great location. Typical hotel noise, can definitely hear people walking above you. A bit noisy at night (they can’t control when guests go to bed!) but they left eye/sleep masks & earplugs in the room when we checked in. Cookies available in the afternoon. We weren’t there much, but overall enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

After reading some of the reviews I did not have high expectations for my stay. However, I was very pleasantly surprised! This hotel met or exceeded all my expectations for the things that are most important in a hotel. The rooms are clean, and very well appointed (there is a nice roomy shelf for your luggage). The bathroom is large with a great shower. The bed is one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept on. The window coverings filter the light and also black out. Air conditioning is quiet and works well. The coffee is strong and brewed individually. The breakfast is decent (the fresh strawberries were absolutely delicious!) with excellent, friendly servers :) The front desk staff were helpful and accommodating. I was even able to arrange a late checkout. The only thing I will comment a bit negatively on is that my room on the first floor, although very convenient, was rather noisy, but I always travel with ear plugs, so it was not an issue for me. Would definitely stay here again!
