Nice and clean updated room. Comfortable beds. Roomy bathroom with a window! Plenty of hot water for the shower, also a tub. Coffee in the lobby. Free parking. Nice bar. We didn't use the spa but we walked around back to check out the Campfire area with many fire pits, outdoor games and restrooms. Long hike to Buttermilk Falls. Nice hotel, we'll be back.

Overall clean, most important is the bed of course. Hotel was fine. Nice area. Quaint. Great staff. Biggest complaint is that I picked this hotel specifically because the tubs looked nice. The jets didnt work in both of the rooms I was in and the drain smelled / was semi clogged in one. If you are looking forward to relaxing in a bath try a different hotel. If you like showers, it's just fine.

LaTourelle Inn and Spa is a hidden gem in the Finger Lakes Region, located a few miles from Ithaca and adjacent to the Buttermilk Falls State Park. It is quiet and peaceful, just perfect for a well-deserved relaxing weekend or a romantic getaway. The staff and service is exceptional, including the choices and quality of menu items in the lounge. My husband and I were happy to eat there both nights of our stay after long days of touring the region. Guests of the inn can use the sauna and steam room in the spa or relax in one of their private lounges, whether or not they elect to have other treatments. On our walk around the property to look for an entrance to Buttermilk Falls State Park, we discovered a delightful surprise! There is a glamping campground, called Firelight Camps, behind the Inn where guests of the Inn are welcome to join the activities, including sitting around the campfires at night. There is also a main tent there that sells drinks and snacks during the day in a very comfortable setting. I believe you can spend your entire stay on the grounds of LaTourelle Inn and Spa if you just want to indulge in a quiet time of relaxation and rest. We look forward to returning someday soon.

Really gorgeous property. We even hiked to the top of Buttermilk Falls from the hotel and it was amazing (not too difficult or long of a hike and amazing views). Nice bar/cafe on property with decent food. Adequate breakfast provided daily for a small fee. Overall, super convenient which made it worth it for eating when we wanted to stay on the property. Friendly staff. I would definitely recommend the establishment and stay there again. I wish the weather had been better so we could have enjoyed the campfires and made smores. The live music and pizza truck were cancelled because of the storm threat but I hope to experience these next time. It is really nice to have access to the campgrounds when you are a guest of the hotel.

Checked into the hotel at 11pm on a Friday and the front desk staff were still very welcoming and quickly got us into our room. Very spacious room with great amenities all around. Found some hair on the bathroom floor, but besides that the room was spotless. Parking was free and ample. I always choose this hotel when booking an Ithaca trip. With the location being tucked away from the downtown area you really feel at peace.

Facility was very nice but is in some renovations. What they have renovated thus far is very nice! We met their owner in a restaurant and he is very knowledgeable about the hotel industry and is implementing some wonderful changes and improvements. Our room was very clean and service was excellent. My only Improvement I would say is the workout room as the few workout machines that they have are very antiquated and even if the facility is keeping the workout room small, they should be more updated. Otherwise our stay was wonderful! Would recommend the facility for sure!
