My Nightmare in Ithaca

We had a view of a roof. There was a ball of hair in the tub drain. The parking lot is in such need of repair that the broken macadam sticks to your feet, gets in your car, gets into the hotel room. Couldn't get coffee until 7:00 A.M. No coffee pot in the room. No refrigerator in room. The ice machine wasn't working.

The hotel is out of date. ...

The hotel is out of date. It is dark and dingy. The carpet is as old as the hotel with a musty smell. The room's wallpaper is just as old. We normally would eat in the hotel restaurant, but we left as soon as we got there to find another restaurant. Only one person was working behind the desk. It was a horrible experience after a 5 hour drive!
