"Cleaning room"

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."
