We are an old-school motel experience with ground-level rooms that have doors directly to the outside. In true motor lodge fashion, the majority of our property was built in the 1950’s and is situated next to a state road. Cottages date to the 1930’s and the Main House + Carriage House are about 40 years older than that. The historic nature of our property means that occasional ambient noise can be heard, the windows are original to each building, climate control can be variable, and sometimes the floor might creak. Our Elmira Road location means that we’re super convenient to State Parks, wineries, waterfalls, and downtown Ithaca. It also means that in some of our rooms you may hear cars going by at 35-45 mph. This falls right in line with what most guests coming to stay with us expect, but it is something to be aware of if you have a sensitivity to ambient road noise, dislike historic buildings and antique furniture, or prefer watching local cable to watching the birds.
We accept bookings online here and over the phone (607-272-6434). We typically have a two-night minimum stay, three nights on holidays, and high season weekends. A credit card is required at the time of booking. A deposit equal to 50% of your reservation is taken from the credit card to reserve your stay. The remaining balance will be charged upon check-in. We require that all guests be over the age of 21 to make a reservation with us. All rooms are non-smoking. All rates are subject to state and local taxes. All rates are subject to change without notice.
Cancellations impact us greatly, we ask your consideration in making and revising your reservations.
Check in time is from 3pm to 7pm. We can not accommodate check ins before 3pm. Late check ins are no problem. Please notify us 48 hours prior to your reservation if you will be checking in later than 7pm and we will be happy to make arrangements with you.
Check out time is from 7am to 11am. Our 11am check out is strict as we need ample time to clean rooms and prepare for the next guests. Check outs after 11am will be charged $50 per additional half hour. Early check outs are no problem. Please notify us if you will be checking out prior to 7am and we will be happy to make arrangements with you.
All rates are for two persons per room. We charge a fee of $25 per night per guest (adult or child) to add additional occupants to a room. You’re welcome to bring pack-n-plays for the littlest ones at no additional charge.
Except where noted, king and queen rooms are intended for up to two guests, and double rooms are intended for up to four guests. Though not all rooms can accommodate an additional occupant, please inquire if your group has more than the number of intended guests. A cot may be set up for an additional charge, pending availability. Maximum occupancy of each room can not exceed the limits established by safety code.
Only guests on the guest registry for each room are permitted on property. If you would like to have additional guests or visitors you must notify us and obtain approval in advance, during office hours. Additional visitors and vehicles must be registered with the front desk.
Our full pet policy and guidelines are available for review HERE.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in many of our rooms. Advance notice is required. Dogs must be walked on leash at all times, and must be crated if left unattended in the room. Our direct booking pet fee is $15 per night for one dog. $30 per night for two + dogs. If you book through a third party, the pet fee is $50. Please contact us to make special arrangements for more than two dogs. Pet waste must be picked up and disposed of in the marked outdoor trash receptacles. If you are traveling without a crate we have a limited number of loaner crates available. Please let us know in advance that you need one and we’re happy to help make arrangements for your pet’s stay.
Service animals are, by law, welcome in all of our rooms. A service animal is a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA, and are therefore limited only to dog friendly rooms and are subject to the the nightly pet fee.
Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8 am. During this time, we ask that you respect your neighbors and keep noise to a minimum.
Usually we only charge the room rate, applicable taxes, and any mini bar or other purchases made on the property; however, there are times where we will charge an additional fee. We only charge extra if:
Looking to rent the hotel for a large group or host a meeting or retreat? We can accommodate 50 overnight guests and have ample indoor and outdoor event and meeting space.

Private meetings, parties, BBQ’s and catering events are also available.
Something smaller in mind and only want a handful of rooms? It’s easy to book a group of rooms for you and your friends here. Give a call and we’ll help choose the building that best suits your group and needs.
Cornell and IC commencement, college event, and holiday weekends are subject to our cancellation policy. Some of these dates require a 3 night minimum reservation. We strongly encourage “cancel for any reason” travel insurance when making reservations. We are happy to help your family make other arrangements during your commencement time in Ithaca. Just ask : )
