Summary: The free airport transportation is great!

Summary: Honestly, it's one of my best hotel experiences so far. My wife and I stayed here for the 4th of July weekend to hit up Watkins Glen State Park, among few other Finger Lake and Falls. We didn't realize the hotel was smack in the middle of Cornell University until we arrived. We ended up doing some walks on the campus and came to realize how beautiful and neat the campus was. We really appreciated the camous location and a great view of Ithaca and the forest from an elevation. Seems like the hotel had many of the hotel management students from the university, which was interesting. The folks from the front, valet, and restaurant were all extremely courteous and professional. They were the most friendly bunch! The room was clean and spacious, and the bathroom water pressure was good. (Although our kleenex got super damp and wet for some reason). Thought the AC was a bit musky and too loud but got used to it, no problem. 2nd floor restaurant is decent and elevators pretty fast. Overall my wife and I had a very pleasant stay here and would recommend it to anyone visiting Ithaca area!

Summary: Excellent food and service. However, couch in room was poorly designed and very uncomfortable. Comforter on the bed was too heavy for warmer weather unless A/C was on full blast.

Summary: Fabulous service! Gorgeous view of the beautiful Cornell campus.

princess Apr 15, 2025 12:55:44 PM
Summary: The hotel was clean and staff were all courteous and polite . Convenient location if visiting Cornell and close proximity to college town where restaurants are. Food in taverna banfi excellent . My only complaint is pillows were so soft —it will be nice if they had some firm pillows if requested. I also notice staff did not sen ti clean room when we were away

Summary: Really nice facility and staff. The food was amazing!!! The ricotta gnocchi was the best.
Arindam Apr 7, 2025 09:49:38 AM
Summary: Excellent property and facilities fun by highly trained hotel management students from Cornell. Superb communication and attention to details. Couple of things that stood out for our family: (1) Rooms were cleaned and organized every day as if it was a new occupancy. Coffee, condiments and water replenished to its original levels. Design of toilets and amenities were thoughtful for example shower controls were indented to avoid getting wet while controlling temperature. Thoughtful bathroom amenities that were of pristine quality. (2) Room size was spacious and space efficiently utilized. Plenty of storage space. (3) Customer support and service was par excellence - they fulfilled a special request for airport drop off 15 min ahead of their regular schedule. They had our luggage ready, loaded and seeked us out from a corner of the lounge where we were engrossed in deep conversation completely oblivious of the time. All in all a superb relaxing time for the family on a mission to tour the university. This was our first trip to Ithaca and hope to visit again.
