The Hotel Ithaca is a nice hotel. Comfortable and clean. The staff is courteous. My only complaint was that the hairdryer in the room did not work, but I didn't bother to get a replacement. I did inform the desk clerk, so hopefully they replace it for that room.
After enjoying free breakfasts at other hotel options, I was disappointed that there was no free breakfast at the Hotel Ithaca. There is free coffee. They have a nice ($$) restaurant inside for your inconvenience, and room service, if you wish.
The location is great for visits to the State Theatre, and the area is walkable, but like most downtown areas in terms of safety and cleanliness.
