Hotel Canopy by Hilton di Ithaca

We visit Ithaca in late December almost every year, and have been staying at the Ithaca Marriott for several years in a row. It's a lovely place and, as ever, we weren't disappointed:we had a perfect New Year's holiday stay. Front desk personnel were really kind and accommodating. Our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable, and we had a partial view of the Commons, something you don't always get as a budget traveler. We were treated very well throughout our stay, and we didn't want for anything. I even used the gym - trying to start the New Year right! And a very nice surprise: the Marriott provided a lovely breakfast for all guests on New Year's Day, complete with really good coffee. Very thoughtful! Thank you!

Hotel location is good and inside Cornell University. The room is clean and comfortable.

We stayed for just one night. The room is pretty decent. Bright and spacious. Cleanliness could be improved. There was a bit of blood leftover on the toilet seat. The design of the shower is also very unfriendly. Cold water has to come out at full blast for a few minutes before hot water would start coming out.

地理位置不錯，距離湖邊和康奈爾大學都不遠，附近非裔好像不多感覺還比較安全，吃飯也方便，作為連鎖快捷酒店，整潔度還說得過去，該有的設施如冰箱微波爐也都有，員工服務不能說多好但也還可以，因為預付費到店信用卡、押金都沒要直接入住，不小心丟了房卡（後來又找到了）二話沒說直接又給辦了一張，停車也很方便。最大的槽點是早餐，基本上算是沒有，麥片/牛奶/咖啡/三種口味muffin/酸奶/蘋果，好像還有方便麵？真的是吃過的最簡配早餐，想想既然選擇的是經濟型酒店也就無所謂了

房間寬敞明亮，服務員也熱情。但是房間有一股奇怪味道。不知道是不是因為修電梯，換液壓液造成的。希望衹是臨時的問題。早餐特別豐盛。供應質量特別好的小瓶牛奶和巧克力牛奶。火腿腸，牛肉餅也相當不錯。酒店位置很好，就在buttermilk state park 旁邊，離開康奈爾大學12分鐘。

Musim puncak Hotel Ithaca mungkin hanya urusan sekolah, kali ini saya memilih untuk tinggal di hotel ini kerana saya membawa anak-anak saya ke sekolah! Ia boleh dilihat bahawa tidak ada perniagaan kerana wabak itu, dan bilik itu mempunyai bau hapak yang kuat, dan meja, lampu, dan banyak sudut agak tebal dengan habuk, dan cadar juga mempunyai bau hapak! Tidak mungkin, tidak banyak hotel di Ithaca! Dan harganya sangat mahal, saya rasa seperti dicincang!

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.

I knew up front that this motel was not going to be the greatest, but my personal experience was awful from the get-go. First, I expected to pay $90.00/night (according to information from *******), yet when I booked the room, the total price had gone up to $184.00. The reason? It was Cornell U's homecoming weekend and the Ithaca Apple Festival! I had no other option except to pay, as I was in the area for professional development and there were no other rooms in other hotels. The room was depressing. Cutains hanging off the window, ancient fixtures, old cigarette burn stains on the sheets, only one packet of coffee near the coffee maker... everything was ”dated”. When another guest in the room next door took a shower it was like there was no wall between us. However, I will say that the room was very clean, the air conditioner was quiet, and thankfully the other guests were quiet as well. But worth $184.00? Come on.

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!
