Always like chatting at check in. Clean room, decent breakfast, everything I need. The renovated interiors are as nice as the pictures. My 4th stay in less than two months and I will keep using The Springwater Inn whenever I need to spend a night in Ithaca.

We had a great experience here while visiting a college in town. The room was recently remodeled, it was immaculately clean and it was quiet. The staff was friendly and check in and check out were super quick. They also just (like a week ago!) added EV chargers on property! Really great experience and we will stay there again.

the Springwater is about the best value I’ve ever had in a hotel. It was SO clean, the bed was perfect, the staff were friendly and helpful and I felt safe. With a child going to school locally, I’ll be back…just delightful!

The staff accommodation and room cleanliness were far better than my expectation. Came in late on a flight and got into my room With no issues. Patrick behind the deck made sure I was good to go with key and wifi access. Updated, comfortable rooms. Would stay here again.

Clean rooms, felt safe and secure. It's good if you have a car, but if you do not prepare to uber everywhere. The bus only runs every so often to downtown. Overall, I would stay again; it's a great spot for the price

Everything was great except for the very noisy fan in the room AC/heat unit. I had a basic room; the owner said that the deluxe rooms have larger and quieter units. Might be worth the upcharge if you are a light sleeper. I enjoyed chatting with the owner. Breakfast was basic, but you are not paying a Hilton price either. Close to Cornell. I will stay there again.

Good option, definitely their off season but made for a great value. A dirty towel and ants knocked off one star. I think in warmer weather with higher turnover things are more attended to. They have electric car charging stations. Breakfast pretty sad but again - off season. Hot coffee was nice due to low temps. The ac/heat unit struggles with temps in the teens so give it time to heat the room & close the bathroom door. The room was nice and spacious & nice staff. Meal delivery option and a walmart nearby. I’d return & recommend.
