Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons

8/10 Good

"We stayed one night in August 2026. It was a halfway point to where we were going. The location isn’t great. It sits across from a bus terminal and mental health clinic. Pandhandlers come up to you as you’re walking. Some businesses look run down from the outside. Pros - Parking was reasonably priced at $12 - Large room, clean room - Quiet, didn’t hear neighbors - Pierce the maintenance man was great - Easy, quick check in - Beautiful drive getting here Cons - The air freshener or cologne scent in the lobby is very strong. Would likely bother those who have allergies to scents. - No signage in parking garage saying to use the far side of the building (opposite conference center) to get to the lobby. There are two sets of elevators, was a bit confusing. - TV needed to be reset, had to call maintenance but wasn’t a big deal, just worth mentioning - Had to reset the aircon, wasn’t working The pizza restaurant wasn’t officially opened yet so couldn’t try."
