"Ec"

Hotel Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"The room and amenities were very nice. There was a problem with the parking garage though that was very frustrating. The remote system was not working despite having a validated ticket and since there was no attendant in the booth it was very frustrating to get the problem resolved. This problem needs to be resolved!!!"
