Top 10 hotels in Ithaca, United States

July 18, 2022 Leida Jutras

"Ithaca is gorges" can be read on proud t-shirts across New York State, and there is definitely truth in advertising. Sitting on the shores of Cayuga Lake, the largest of the Finger Lakes, the hilly town of Ithaca is surrounded by dense forests, towering waterfalls, and many gorges. The natural beauty has a distinctly academic feel, as local universities have filled the woods with museums and education centers like The Cornell Lab of Ornithology, which features a 220 acre wildlife sanctuary.

Convenient for Cornell, but a little pricey

Reviewed By world t

Was visiting the campus in April 2022 so we wanted to stay at the Stadler Hotel: can't beat the convenience of being on campus. The hotel is fine--nothing notable, but still okay--and the rooms are tasteful albeit small. We had a pretty dismal view of a rooftop that obscured anything but the tips of some spires, but we liked the Cornell-themed bedding (and the beds were quite comfortable--we slept well after a red-eye that morning!). That said, there were some gaps. The valet was hit and miss--I feel for them, as the cars are pretty far away, but sometimes the wait was longer than promised even despite scanning in the QR code in advance. The bar was spotty but fine for a quick beer. Check-in was not super-pleasant, but the check-out staff was very kind. I have read these are all students, so I understand the variance of customer service. But for these prices, I'd just expect a little bit more consistency in the delivery.

Very nice older Boutique Style hotel

Reviewed By MaryAnn B

A very nice older hotel with a boutique feel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was very large and nicely appointed. They are repairing the roof so there was some heavy equipment around, but it did not detract from a lovely experience. They offer a free glass of wine during a happy hour. The hotel has a very pretty setting and we would definitely stay there again,

Has Gone Downhill

Reviewed By rfische1

We booked this hotel for a recent trip as we have had many very pleasant past experiences staying there. This time was the exception. The hotel appeared tired and worn this time. First off there was a slight smell in the room. The bathtub faucet was hard to turn off and the shower head did not adjust easily. The bathroom sink had cracks in it. The sink was slow to drain. There was a feather and spring on the floor that appeared to have come from the chair in the room. We needed to have some laundry done as we were on a two week road trip. The front desk staff did not have any idea on what to do about this. The good news was the laundry did get done well. Also the room was clean, though the halls did need some work. I hope this location is due for an update as it sorely needs it.

What a wonderful stay at the fabulous, clean, and comfortable William Henry Miller Inn! We had a great night’s sleep in the Turret. The location can’t be beat.
