Top Ithaca Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"Chech in staff friendly and helpful. We stayed in the North Tower. The room was perfect, clean and comfortable. Bathrobe provided was a nice touch. Disposable slippers would be great. Would definitely stay here again. Location was great with good parking."

Cayuga Blu Hotel

8/10 Good

"I was there just briefly overnight so did not take advantage of the amenities but it was clean, bed was comfortable, air temperature was good. I didn’t interact with many staff members but those I did interact with were friendly. The breakfast buffet looked amazing but I was on a time crunch and did not take advantage of. I would recommend on your visit to the Ithaca area."

Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here multiple times while my daughter attends college. I will always stay here if they have rooms. My rooms have always been clean and the front desk staff is always friendly. The location is great for walking around, restaurants and a nice uphill walk to campus."
