The Grayhaven Motel is the perfect place to stay and get away. It may seem counter intuitive to book a motel less than 20 miles away from home in the middle of this super busy time of year but it is the perfect place to recharge. I sat next to the fireplace in the cozy guest lounge and watched the Friday night Christmas movie while sipping cider and snacking on roasted pumpkin seeds. It is such a friendly and comfortable place to visit.
We had booked our tour to New England via Tui. At our arrival at the Country Inn we were only convinced. Very nice hotel from outside and super location. However, when check-in, it was said they had no room free and we were transferred to one of their partner hotels. Of course, we were assured that the partner hotel has the same quality. This was not the case, of course, and we landed in a 2-star hotel, which stands on the parking lot of a mall. As we were simply handled by the hotel, we felt absolutely unfriendly. Although the Country Inn paid the bill, but since it was a 2-star hotel, the cost of it was of course much lower! So you can also be fooled with your customers and generate money. You had as good as no.. I absolutely cannot recommend.

A three-star hotel is standard, far from the city center, there are large supermarkets and restaurants nearby, there is a Chinese restaurant Szechuan cuisine not far away, and the milkshake park is not very far, there is parking lot, if you drive well
I mean ... okay ... this wasn't the best, newest, cleanest Fairfield that I have ever encountered. It wasn't horrible, just drab. First thing we noticed when checking in was the lack of staff - par for the course for most hotels these days - and the check in clerk, while pleasant, was overwhelmed, and we had to wait while she attended to business on the phone. Breakfast was average. We couldn't put our finger on anything that was really unacceptable, but neither could we point out anything that would make us want to return. Beds were comfortable, parking lot seemed safe. Television was old and small. Since this was a college visit, should my child be fortunate enough to actually attend Cornell, I think a future visit would call for The Statler. Decide for yourself. One last thing ... the location was convenient.
Ithaca is hotel challenged to begin with, it’s not unheard of to pay $220 plus dollars to stay at the Rodeway - granted it’s remodeled - but it’s still a motel people. Having stayed at nearly all the economically priced options in ithaca here’s the truth - it’s slim pickings and those pretty photos they post - it’s usually a bold face bordering on ridiculous lie - the Quality Inn is no different. There are many vagrants in the parking lot all night, just having a good ole time. In the morning are the remnants and litter of Natural Ice cans and HUNDREDS of cigarette buts stacked in an ashtray. It’s really truly bad. I know it’s cheap. But Unless you’re stuck, do your best to avoid it. The staff. The saving grace was the nightshift woman. She seemed genuinely personable and caring. But that’s it. The others? From John to all the daytime ladies - well, someone must of crushed all their dreams, because they’re mopey bordering on angry. The highest level of service you should expect is for them to tolerate your presence in their lobby. Go ahead - you smile, be kind, ask them how they’re day is. If you get above resting bitter face consider yourself lucky. If you get a “have a nice day” you must have achieved pinnacle status of Choice points. If by some miracle they break a smile - it’s probably at you. I was there four days - they don’t greet you from the front desk - you’ll greet them when they arrive from whatever cave they hide in because they’re never at the front unless they have to be. It’s pretty clear none of them want to be there - can’t say I blame them. If your magnet key fails (as 5 of mine did, and the person’s behind me as well) there is a 100% chance that John will say to you “well, you must have deactivated it.” Doesn’t matter that you carefully guarded it from every magnet and electrical field on planet Earth. Even if you stored it in a hermetically sealed box John will let you know - it’s definitely your fault. Because it’s impossible for their grime filled worn to crap 1990 magic magnetic encoder could be the source of the issue. The room: the bed was comfortable - The pillows were good and it looked clean. Then there’s that delightful jacuzzi bath for your aching back. Well, you better be prepared to clean that sucker, cause evidently no one else will. Perhaps a discount for each glop of hair? You make peace with the fact that things are worn and dated at this price point, but why can’t they be clean? See the photo of the floor - I thought it was wet in two large spots, but it’s some kind of polyurethane spill (that’s what I’m telling myself, you can touch it if you want to know. I won’t.) There’s other problems too - but that’s enough. I checked out two days early. They kept one night’s payment. That’s the way it goes!
WARNING: DO NOT STAY HERE! The Hampton Inn Ithaca was one fo the worst hotel experiences of my life. First of all, this place claims to be pet friendly, but they charged me a $100 non-refundable pet fee for my emotional support pet. You are also not allowed to leave your pet unattended in the room at any time. Doesn't seem very pet friendly to me. Furthermore, the rooms were disgusting. The bathrooms and surfaces had clearly not been cleaned and there was trash under the couch. We had them move us to a different room, but the new room was just as dirty. The pool was also closed, which was a bummer, but the hotel staff said not to use the jacuzzi either because the filters circulated fecal matter and they could not do anything about it. We tried to watch TV in our hotel room in the evening, but they do not provide Netflix or anything and the TV channels all were picking up a lot of static to the point where it was difficult to watch anything. The hotel is also supposed to offer free breakfast, which I guess they do if you consider a waffle maker and some sausages breakfast. The spread was severely lacking any substance or effort. The hotel staff also was not very friendly or helpful. We didn't have very high expectations for this hotel, but it still managed to disappoint. The Hampton Inn Ithaca basically ruined our weekend trip. The conditions were worse than most motels. Save your money and stay somewhere else!
Meet the expectations of the US economy hotel. There is free breakfast, opposite is a large shopping mall; there is a restaurant, parking lot is spacious; front desk service is timely. A few kilometers from Cornell, it is quite convenient and convenient
Can live! Don't ask for any quality! I saw the comments of the predecessors, thinking that the second floor rooms are better, not black, not tide, and ask for the second floor room in advance. When I arrived at the store, I was told that there was no elevator! Happy son is big! Help me with the box! Behind the travellers carefully choose.
