Where else to stay

Actually, for a double, the Econo Lodge can be a little cheaper than the Hillside if you have a discount (definitely AARP; maybe AAA).  However, the Econo Logde is not halfway between the Chapter House and Hot Truck.

Hey Melissa, I would never ever ever pay what any hotel in Ithaca is asking on their website/phone line.  Instead go to priceline.com and enter a bid of around $20-$30 a night on a 2 star hotel.  The only hotel that priceline is aligned with in Ithaca is the Best Western, so you have a 100% probability of winding up there.  

A great travel resource is www.biddingfortravel.com for those of you not familiar with it.  This site gives you an idea of what others have bid on priceline for hotels in cities around the world, saving you both time and money.

P.S.-- And no, I wasn't a hotelie.  Though I did enjoy the wines class quite a bit......
