Staying in the 400 building was lovely with its warm and inviting gas fireplace, tall ceilings, and comfortable queen size beds. The mini fridge and microwave were convenient, but the funky smell was a drawback. The location near necessary amenities was a plus.

The hotel's location was handy for visiting Cornell and Downtown Ithaca, but the route through a busy shopping center was a downside.
