Top Cornell Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

The Springwater Inn

8/10 Good

"Great value motel. The building looks simple but the property is clean and well kept and the surrounding area feels safe and quiet. Location is relatively close to area attractions. Our room was updated and clean, bed was comfortable, pillows are great quality, sheets and towels fresh and clean, aircon/heater worked well. Bathroom was also updated and clean. The showerhead could be better but the water was warm and pressure was good. Breakfast was not much but definitely a plus for the price. We slept very well and would definitely stay here again. If you are looking for a place to spend a night or two and don’t want to break the bank this one is a great choice."

Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons

10/10 Excellent

"Recently renovated rooms. Great location near restaurants."

The Dorm Hotel

8/10 Good

"Place itself was great and the people too but I booked for 3 nights but wanted to check out after only 1 and they had me paying a hundred dollars because of the cancelation."

Hilton Garden Inn Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice and the location was perfect for attending an event at the State Theater, for walking around the city and visiting the waterfalls. The only issue was the construction in front of the building. There wasn’t any place to pull up or park while checking in or out. There was parking provided in a garage nearby which was helpful."
