Top Cornell Botanic Gardens Hotel Reviews

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."

Cayuga Blu Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast. Room nice. Older motel that they are working on infrastructure. Pool in courtyard."

The Dorm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Second time here already booked for November! Clean, great location and I left my charger behind and they held it for me at the front desk!"

The Statler Hotel at Cornell University

10/10 Excellent

Homewood Suites by Hilton Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"Every employee at this hotel is amazingly nice, accommodating, and simply remarkable. Ithaca people are among the nicest in America, but this hotel's staff is on another level."

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."

"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."
