The rooftop has solar panels- there will be food and drink up there once the weather warms up. 2nd floor has a cycling/spin room that has bikes that generate electricity and show how much you are generating. There are 2 wind turbines right behind the building. The plan is to have the entire building operate on alternative / renewable energy sources. There is an atrium and skylight in the center of the building with a grow wall with plants. Local artists' work adorns the walls. Plenty more to say and see here- come check it out!

The staff is phenomenal.. At least on the first day. Shareem, Rodrigo, and Sherry are amazing…read more. super friendly and helpful. The hotel itself isn't anything to brag about but it's decent.. we did have an issue with someone blasting the music so loud the floors and walls shook. They took care of it. Unfortunatly it was recurring so the sleep wasn't that good both nights. The rooms are ok. Not the cleanest but acceptable. You'll find some missed corners with dirt and found garbage behind the shower toiletry dispenser. Nothing major but could be better. Beds were comfy and the linens and towels are bleach cleaned. You can smell it. The fixtures are dated so bring your own charging cables and don't expect to use usb here. The only ones are on the alarm clocks and plugging a cord in makes the clock make strange noises and the plugs on top didnt work.. I ended up plugging in the wall.. next time I'll bring a surge protector and extras. This is clearly a dorm and not really a motel/hotel. You hear running in the halls, slammed doors, chanting, etc anything reminiscent of a college dorm. That explains the graffiti and broken fixtures. It's an older property and for the price it was fine. They did mess me up though. Was scheduled for an airport shuttle and confirmed but they didn't tell me they didn't run on the weekends so I'm waiting and no ride. If I didn't have a ride share app I would have been out of luck. This issue pushed me 30 minutes off schedule and made me almost miss the check in time. Im really dreamed about that because someone should have told me. No apologies or explanations. Just fugue it out yourself even though we are the ones that messed up. Would I stay here again? If the first day staff was working. The rest were not as friendly or helpful. After careful reflection, this is q college town. I came for medical but most everyone else is here for the schools so with that in mind; this place was in line with whats ro be expected. I think I would rather go to another hotel or motel without the students and atmosphere if I can find one. I also found out the person blasting the music is hearing impaired. I felt bad for complaining but it was really loud and disrupted my sleep. So if this is something you can overlook then maybe it is a good option. But for someone who likes the peace and quiet and consideration then perhaps other places will work better. Final thought, the hot water was out for several hours Friday night. I got a very room temp shower at about 8 after trying for hours. I realized that was the best it would be and got it over with. Very low water pressure with warmish water was not a great experience. First night water temp was great with low pressure.

Disaster- not worth risking this experience vs him on a "good" day, because he did NOTHING that was asked of him. Really ruined the experience the kids were looking for. Sooo nice the 1st conversation, but he clearly has his own agenda; apparently HE knows what to play for a wedding(and very outdated..Dancing Queen, YMCA- really!?) Where to start...he asked for a song list, but only played 2 songs from it. Did not play what we wanted for the cocktail hour. Played a different version of the bride/groom song that they submitted and had practiced dancing to-again-REALLY?! PLAYED A SONG HE WAS ASKED NOT TO PLAY!!! Rude when questioned, and yes, smoked all night and left his butts in the yard. He wants a cookie cutter wedding where he can do loud obnoxious announcements all night; can not customize apparently. Made a bad mistake paying him upfront- no response when I asked for money back since HE DID NOT DO WHAT HE WAS PAID TO DO. Just a disaster, he ruined the atmosphere the kids were hoping, and PAID for. DO NOT RISK YOUR DAY!

It was such a fun piece of entertainment for the night, and I have loved seeing our prints hanging in friends' and families' homes. The prints were high quality and very customizable, so we were able to make ours perfectly fit the green and gold theme of the day. Sarah kept an envelope with photos my husband and me were in to give us at the end of the night, so we didn't worry at all about keeping track of them. Very thoughtful team that brings a great energy to the day, I can't recommend them highly enough!

I can't say enough about how great she was to work with and even better to meet in person.

He arrived and took over the kitchen effortlessly, making the house smell amazing!! The ladies of the party all wanted steak entrees. I opted for eggplant parm as I don't eat much red meat. We were served Caesar salad and a cucumber tomato salad family style as starters. Fresh bread accompanied our meals and a delicious mixed berry dessert followed. Mark even cleaned up the whole kitchen, leaving it better than it was when he arrived! The prices were appropriate. He does add a travel fee which is completely understandable (we were 40min away). I wouldn't hesitate to hire Mark again for a special event!! Thanks for making the brides night spectacular :)

My daughter event turned out so much better than I could have ever expected due to the food being amazing and the personable people behind the venue. Marc just kept reassuring me it would turn out great. Wonderful people, food was so amazing, plentiful and fresh. Defiantly up and coming. I would recommend them 100 x over, and will defiantly use them again. Thank you Marc, Stephanie and Ryan, Great time had by all!!

We hired Tara 2 years ago when my daughter got engaged. My daughter was very specific about the…read morekind of wedding she wanted. She wanted a wedding with multiple day events (wine tour, welcome party, ceremony on the Cornell campus, two cocktail parties, reception and a brunch). We were also challenged with having 160+ guests from out of town. My daughter didn't want a traditional wedding banquet hall look, she wanted to have farm tables with lush greeneries and flowers, and lounge sofas for people to relax. It was hard to find a place around Ithaca to accommodate so many guests. Tara spent days with us in finding a perfect venue for the wedding. On the day of, we had photographers videographers, multiple banquet coordinators, bus drivers. Tara was amazing in coordinating everything and getting everyone to work together. She had 7 pages of the event schedule. She worked tirelessly to refine it with us, down to when food would be delivered for the bridal party to eat before the ceremony. At the end of the reception, when she saw I was going back to the hotel by myself, she personally drove me back. She then delivered flowers for the next morning's brunch to our B&B at 2am. On top of that, she showed up at the brunch to make sure everything was ok and helped us pack up everything. We had few crisis (or we thought) during the wedding, Tara was able to take care of them for us and more importantly calmed us down. All of our guests told us how much fun they had at the wedding and how beautiful the venue was. I think a lot of it was due to Tara's careful planning and diligence. I would highly recommend Tara as a planner for any special event.

She came highly…read morerecommended by a close family friend and owner of a local florist company - if other vendors say somebody is great to work with, believe them! Our venue, the Ithaca Farmers Market, requires an immense amount of planning and organization as you must bring in everything (rentals, food, alcohol, decor) yourself. In addition, set-up time is very limited so it pays off to have a team of vendors who have worked well at the market before and know what they're doing and how run of show should go! While we signed on for the month-of package, Tara was so helpful in providing recommendations for additional vendors throughout our planning process who not only have worked market wedding before, but who would be able to help us create our exact vision for the day. Tara was responsive and always made herself readily available, whether it was well-before the month of our wedding or in the days leading up to it. As a self-described Type-A planner, I was so grateful to have Tara on top of everything especially the day before and the day of the wedding so that I could kick back and relax to enjoy such a special day. She executed everything perfectly, - including when a guest stepped on the bottom of my dress and broke off a bustle hook! Not only did she have safety pins of all sizes on hand, she perfectly pinned the dress back into its proper bustle so nobody could even tell! I can't recommend her highly enough - every couple should be so lucky as to have her support, eye for style, and organization on their big day!

It became apparent after a little bit of time that some regulars were watching us who pretended to be friendly (to us) and acted like they didn't know each other or the place at all. I watched. Engaged us in fair game and seemed to be plotting something mischievous. Coming from Baltimore, my spidey senses tingled and I caught them conversing and talking about us. I like to have a good time... I wasn't drunk but pretended to be. After my boyfriend beat them, they became angry and dispersed. Beware of this place. I had fairly bad vibes the entire time I was there. Easy targets for young college kids. I'm sure it's a good time for some but nice try... I would find somewhere else to go if you're especially from out of town.
