Super 8 Ithaca

Our stay was great. I was a little nervous about staying at a Super 8 since family and friends have told me some not so great stories, however, our stay was wonderful. Check in was fast and easy and we were able to get a late check out upon request! The room was larger than I expected and had a fridge/​microwave which was such a great bonus. Wegmans and other restaurants are within walking distance. Everything was VERY clean which is one of my biggest pet peeves when staying in a hotel. The queen bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was your typical continental breakfast. Overall, I was very impressed with the Ithaca Super 8. I would DEFINITELY recommend this hotel for anyone who would like a cheap and clean place to stay!

I’ve stayed there a couple of times. Clean, comfortable, and conveniently located to just about everything (including the aforementioned Wegman’s). It’s reasonably priced, and while it may not have all the bells and whistles of a 5 start hotel, they make up for it in customer service. Last time I was there, I had left behind a little cooler with some souvenir items I meant to bring home to the family. I called the motel when I had realized it, and they SHIPPED the cooler to me. I plan on staying there again the next time my business requires it.

I travel to Ithaca occasionally on business, although I pay out of my own pocket for a hotel. For me this Super 8 is a good combination of cleanliness, reasonable rates and convenient location. It is my favorite spot in Ithaca.
However, being the lazy sot that I am, none of those things would normally cause me to write a review. Until…
On my last visit I left my iPad in the room. The hotel cleaning staff found it, turned it in, and Julie Swigart tracked me down. She offered to mail it to me. Wow! I didn’t ask, but my guess is that she probably took care of this on her way home from work.
That’s what I call going above and beyond the call of duty! Thank you Julie!

My rating is primarily for Chris at Guest Services who is AWESOME (please don’t overlook my use of capital letters here).
My colleagues and I were in a bind and Chris went above and beyond to assist us in the middle of the night. We’re extremely grateful for his assistance.
PS: the motel is very clean and well-​kept. It’s not the Fairmont, but it offers terrific value and convenience.
Thanks Motel 8 team!

You don’t go to a Super 8 for pampering and luxury. You stay here when you’re in town briefly for business and need some basic amenities on the cheap. Once you cleave to this mindset you’ll be quite pleased with this particular location.
The front desk looked a little messy — not dirty, but just a bunch of scattered papers and such. More important, everyone I encountered behind that desk was extremely courteous, polite and professional. That’s all I need — big check.
My room smelled like fake strawberries and bleach, but it was also clean and comfortable, with a little microwave oven, flat screen TV and refrigerator. The bed was queen size and perfectly adequate. Check.
Parking lot is a nice size. Check.
There’s a Wegmans right across the street. ALLELUIA… ALLELUIA. ALLE… LUIA!

For a Super 8 motel (not the best reputation) this place was very clean and tidy, and the breakfast room was ample and clean as well. Beds were pretty comfortable, however the pillows really sucked (they were like little square cushions filled with cotton balls). The bathroom was large and clean as well. Both the room and the price were great, and even though it is a little out of the way if you are visiting downtown Ithaca or Cornell University (our purpose there) it was not a bad drive to restaurants and shops or what not. Amenities that include Wi-​Fi and free breakfast in the morning (waffles, toast, cereal, oatmeal, coffee and OJ) were nice and convenient. Definitely a great place to stay if you’re on a budget.

Not good for groups! We choose the Super 8 for our trip with 25 high school students, mostly because the other hotels in Ithaca were full. Even though we went through all the appropriate steps to procure a room block (including calling on the way to make sure we were all set), when we arrived, we were told our block of rooms was cancelled months earlier. We managed to find rooms at the last minute (while the students waited on the bus) at the Comfort Inn, and spent the next day on the phone with the manager of the Super 8, who tried to claim that it was our fault. By the end of the conversation, she admitted she needed to take a look at her contract, the steps her employees take to create room blocks, and the communication her employees have with group leaders. I would not recommend this hotel.

Nice motel, clean and rooms are rather large. Breakfast lacks, however Ithaca commons is only a short drive away for breakfast. Good parking and free wifi, (always a plus). Staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly. The clerk even noticed we paid more than they normally charge and reduced our rate by almost $ 20.

Good motel, clean, comfortable beds, free wi-​fi and breakfast. What else could one want? Ample parking and very short distance to colleges and downtown. Walking distance from grocery store. Fridge, microwave and coffee makers in room. Friendly staff.

Can’t fault this place for the price. Comfy bed and a very clean room. Fridge and microwave useful especially as there is a 24hr supermarket right outside. The included breakfast was good too. Will stay again. $ 6 cab ride to Cornell.
Plus free wifi.

I used to stay at an econolodge on Triphammer Rd, but this Super 8 is right in the middle of town, close to a few dozen restaurants, Ithaca bakery, and Ithaca College and Cornell university. The staff was great, nice clean rooms, comfortable beds, a fridge and microwave in every room. Plenty of parking, but beware, because of the close proximity of both colleges a lot of visiting students stay there. When I was there West Point’s rowing club was there for a tourney against Cornell. They weren’t at all noisy, they were very well behaved. But maybe I was lucky.
This was a very nice accident, since my normal hotel was booked solid, and since Super 8 is run by the Weston group, I got points for my stay. I’ll be back!

Fantastic place to stay. Clean, comfortable, centrally located, and CHEAP! Yes the local B&B’s are more charming, but if you want to keep costs down… I would definately recommend staying here.

Nice motel: clean, relatively quiet, and includes a microwave and small fridge. It’s a 5-​min drive from downtown, and walkable to a drug store, grocery store, and laundromat.
