Overall room was great. There was some added light from lamp and flash from detectors so if sensitive bring eye masks. I room
Coffee pot was clunky, luckily they have fresh downstairs lobby. Spa amenities were great as was the bar!
Staff was very pleasant , large room and nice bathroom with amenities . Welcoming lobby with fireplace and coffee. Very close to Ithaca college a plus for me
Facility and staff provided the perfect relaxing vacation we were hoping for. Highly recommend for quiet relaxation and the couples massage just topped off a wonderful stay.

For a small fee, we were able to enjoy the spa amenities.
It's a nice hotel. The property is well kept and the staff friendly. My slight negatives are the bedding is far from first rate. Pillows were hard and the sheets were rough. Also the continental breakfast was $7

We like it’s quiet setting and good location for hiking.
This hotel made me smile as I was walking in the charming hotel doors. The mums and beautiful elegant lobby is so inciting. If you get a cup of tea or unlimited free coffee you can lounge by the window enjoying the change of foliage. Dog friendly hotel and grounds. Beautiful👍
This is a great place to stay in Ithaca. It’s about 10 minutes from the town center but it feels like you are in the country. Lots of open space, beautiful grounds, nice sunset views, and friendly staff make it a relaxing and enjoyable place to stay.
We just really enjoyed the stay--the grounds (sitting in a gazebo for morning coffee), the concerts and food trucks in the "back yard", and the quiet. It was very relaxing. We are just sorry we did not get to utilize the on site spa.
