Cayuga Blu

I chose Cayuga Blu b/c it was the lowest priced hotel within 20mins of Ithaca College. I was nervous as I hadnt heard of it before but Im so glad I chose it. Usually I stay at Marriott brands but have not been happy last few times with the cleanliness and they now have hard beds. At Cayuga Blu the room was clean, the staff was friendly and the bed was very comfortable. Yes the bathroom could def. use an update, mostly the shower and toilet. I really dont mind the shower but needs touch up around bottom half of tiles. Only mentioning b/c some ppl will give a hotel terrible review for things like that, it doesnt affect your stay. The shower head also needs to be switched out but it was nice and powerful. Remember I booked this hotel b/c it was cheaper (not cheap just cheaper) so it def. exceeded my expectations and if ever in the area I would def. stay again and recommend to others.

Every one we came across that worked there spoke to us and were friendly and helpful. Especially those at the front desk. We also appreciated how clean they kept the property. We thought the breakfast was very good. It was a nice selection of both hot and cold items which they resupplied constantly. The food was fresh and hot! They also were always checking that there were no spills and food mess along the buffet. The tables were bussed and sanitized quickly to insure that there was plenty of seating.

The breakfast was very good with both hot and cold options. We had scrambled egg, bacon, sausage, pancakes with syrup as well as some coffee cake. There were bagels available to toast, juices, strawberry yogurts and coffee and teas set up self- serve. Staff was checking on the guests without being intrusive.

The beds are confortable.

Like you I was questioning if I should stay here, based on previous reviews, but I’m honestly so happy I did! Breakfast is on point too. Ok so if you’re looking for modern updated latest and greatest this isn’t for you. But it’s honestly an incredible place. I wanted to explore it so badly! Im a child of the 90’s born in the late 80’s and the restaurant is almost like a time capsule from that period. It has literally surpassed the dated period and become hip and cool again in my eyes. The bed was literally the most comfortable in the area, the bathroom was also 90’s esk but seriously awesome. The water pressure was astounding! Some of the lighting in the hallways is out but I kinda like it that way, gave a little bit of a horror type vibe which was really unique and cool. Seriously stay here. It’s awesome!!!
