I stayed in the “Junior” room which had a microwave, kitchen sink, dinner plates etc which was super convenient. Having Ithaca Brewery-Flower Power IPA on tap was a nice surprise in the commons area.

Excellent location near Cornell campus. Staff were great, room was clean, cozy atmosphere in common areas. Self-serve bar was an interesting feature. Rooms could use an extra armchair or sofa, so one person can sit at the desk and another person has a place to sit other than the bed.
