Top Cornell Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

The Dorm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Dorm Hotel was well-located across from the entrance to Cornell. It is an old house renovated into fun hotel rooms that resemble dorm rooms. Although the room was basic, it was clean and comfortable. The only slight inconveniences were that I had to crawl into bed from the foot of the bed and didn’t have a space for my phone and glasses. I loved the lobby area with a coffee station, games, comfortable seating, a microwave and even a small refrigerator in which guests can store food. The front desk personnel were helpful."

Cayuga Blu Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was fine, the facility is quite dated, but very nice and helpful staff."

Canopy by Hilton Ithaca Downtown

8/10 Good

"Cleaning room"

Hotel Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are so clean and the location couldn’t be better. And despite being on the ground level there were no sound disruptions while we slept."

Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here multiple times while my daughter attends college. I will always stay here if they have rooms. My rooms have always been clean and the front desk staff is always friendly. The location is great for walking around, restaurants and a nice uphill walk to campus."

Sun Filled & Cheerful Apartment by Cornell Campus - Northeast Ithaca

8/10 Good

"Comfortable apartment in a great location in a quiet neighborhood within easy driving distance of Cornell, downtown Ithaca, and the Lake Cayuga wineries and attractions. The apartment had a well equipped kitchen, but the refrigerator was a mini drinks unit with barely enough room for a few drinks and breakfast items. There was no room in it for items normally used to prepare lunch or dinner so preparing so our meals rather than eat out wasn’t practical."

Close to everything-tucked away from the noise. A brand-new, blissful stay.

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The host was extremely responsive, it was clean, quiet, and well laid out. The location was an easy drive in to downtown Ithaca."

10/10 Excellent

"Our hostess, Annette, was a joy. She gave us a welcome present along with many helpful tips on good restaurants and attractions in the area. The property was beautifully furnished and comfortable. Although we only cooked small snacks one could easily prepare a large meal in the kitchen. It was so nice to open the windows and enjoy the fresh air in the quiet evening."
