Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ithaca, NY

10/10 Excellent

"All good for us...Thanks"

Cayuga Blu Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a lovely stay at Cayuga Blu for 2 nights. The staff was very friendly at check in. Room was very clean although bathroom could use an update. The beds were comfortable but a bit on the small side, more of a full size instead of queen. The complimentary hot breakfast was good and offered many options. Overall this hotel fit our needs very well and the location was great. We would stay again."

"VERY dated rooms but clean. Breakfast was average, mostly carbs ( breads, oatmeal, waffles, muffins, cereal. ) small amount of fresh fruit, hotel scrambled eggs and meat. The building we were in ( main building) lower floor doors unlocked to the parking lot. No key needed to enter, didn’t seem quite safe to me, anyone could come in. The EV charging is SUPER slow and quite expensive but convenient. Overall very average"

"Had a wedding at the Inn at Taughannock Falls and it was tricky trying to find my way back in the dark, but found it and saw it was a bit cheaper than when I had originally booked my room. I also couldn't find anyplace to enter my AARP membership to get 10% off.."
