Hotel Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"We come here to visit our daughter at college and it is always convenient and reliable. It’s our first go to."

Meadow Court Inn

8/10 Good

"I had some low expectations and this hotel far exceeded them. The staff was great. The rugs seemed a bit old but the room was fine and perfectly clean. I found the hotel surprisingly walkable to almost everywhere I needed to go. If you just need a place to sleep and shower, this hotel is for you."

The Dorm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing!!"

The Springwater Inn

10/10 Excellent

La Tourelle Inn & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The property is beautiful and well maintained. Our room was huge, very clean and comfortable beds/pillows. The bar/restaurant was nice and food was good. Very friendly and helpful staff. Our only complaint would be for the price of the room(s) the continental breakfast should be included - not worth the $9 charge."
