Homewood Suites By Hilton Ithaca, Ithaca

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms managed to stay quiet despite the ongoing construction and proximity to a busy highway and airport. While the room was spacious and even came with some snacks, the view was disappointing due to condensation on the window that obscured it. However, I wished my room was closer to the elevator as the hallways were uncomfortably warm.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's ability to maintain a quiet atmosphere in the rooms despite the construction and nearby highway. The cleanliness of the rooms, pool, and jacuzzi was impressive, making me eager to return. However, the noise from the road outside was slightly bothersome overnight. The layout of the room perfectly accommodated my family of four.

The hotel is conveniently located in New Hartford, New York, within walking distance of a mall and a movie theater, making it a great base for day trips. While the design is modern and up to date, the lack of separation between the bedroom and living areas may not suit everyone's preference. The hotel was bustling with activity, which added to the vibrant atmosphere, but being a bit off the city, having a car is necessary.

The hotel provided a nice stay overall. The rooms were a good size for our family of four, with some nice touches like free snacks, though they felt a bit small. The kitchen amenities were handy, and the air conditioning and ceiling fans kept us comfortable. The service was friendly and accommodating, although there were issues with internet costs. The location offered easy access to nearby attractions like Cornell University, making it fairly convenient. The dining options were satisfactory, despite some minor shortcomings. Overall, a decent value for the money.
