What guests think

Across recent reviews, Hotel Ithaca draws praise for friendly staff and comfortable, spacious rooms, while recurring complaints center on a frequently closed or chilly pool, intermittent maintenance problems, and inconsistent cleanliness and housekeeping.

The location is repeatedly described as convenient for Ithaca Commons and campuses, though a few guests noted street noise or a rougher feel nearby. Rooms vary: many are spacious with comfy beds, but others report loud or faulty HVAC, worn furnishings, dim lighting, and broken shades or fixtures. Expect a central, practical stay with variable polish—great for access, less so for consistently available amenities.

Sarah, was a rock star and the mgr on 6/19 also awesome. They just need more staff in restaurant seemed like one person doing everything there. Room keys failed 90% of time and you need them to get back into hotel. The room was great, except fridge had no freezer. Ac worked great, floor very quiet. Loved the fridge and microwave. Comfy beds and pillows.

Great location in the downtown area, so many restaurants and shops nearby! We only stayed one night but appreciated the noon checkout so we could workout and have breakfast and then get ready to leave without feeling rushed. There was only one elevator working, which led to some delays during higher traffic times, but no big deal if you're not in a hurry. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we liked having a balcony. The bathroom could have been cleaner, but the rest of the place was clean!

The first night (Saturday) was very quiet, the second night (Sunday) was very noisy. The noise came from the street (trucks and other commercial activities). It started at 2am and stopped at around 6am. The hotel room was not clean and also the floor from the elevator to the room was not clean.

It is a perfect location to the city walking distance to almost everything you could need. Beautiful city, murals all over the place really makes the city look so unique. The hotel was dirty. Carpets in the hotel haven't been vacuumed which isn't a huge deal. The room wasn't cleaned the best either, our room had used soad in the shower. Also had broken curtains. Elevator was under construction and there was no light in the one working one. And breakfast was not available for the one night we did stay. For the amount of money we spent I expected a little better conditions but the city life made up for the hotel problems. I will be returning just to see the city again. Hopefully the hotel is in better conditions next time we visit.

Our room was very dusty. The headboard had about a half of inch of dust on it and there were broken nail clippings on the night stand and on the floor. The painting on the wall was so dusty The floors had not been cleaned. For the amount of money we paid to stay here I’m highly disappointed. On day 2 housekeeping barged in on us even though there was a do not disturb sign on our door.

Wonderful staff, spacious rooms: especially the bathroom. All recently remodeled ( we were in the north tower). Walk to everything. Free parking and quick drive to all colleges. Only feedback is that the aircon was very loud. But I still slept well. Maybe provide glasses and cups instead of disposables and more moisturizer. There was only a small sachet for a room of 3 people.

My only complaint was that although at the check-in the staff provided very good service. However, after checking in, I tried calling the front desk 4 times from the room. No one answered. When I came down to the front desk, all front desk staff were chatting and laughing about something. I didn’t find that professional. What if I had an urgent inquiry or an emergency!

While this hotel has potential, the staff has made our stay one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. This started by being assigned a room with a door that was somehow locked from the inside? Doug at the front desk refused to believe the fact that it could happen & said it was impossible in the most snarky tone. He even went so far as to insinuate that my husband was in there with someone else. After a 30 minute ordeal with maintenance, we were finally reassigned another room. Then, at 11:30 PM, our phone started ringing incessantly. I tried answering, but the phone was not working. This was followed by a front desk attendant coming up with security and asking us if we were actually guests of the hotel. Of course, this episode woke our ten month old. The location is great and the hotel has lovely amenities, but the staff ruined our stay.

Traveling with kids and the pool was closed, which seems like it happens often based on previous reviews. It made our trip tougher on the kids who were looking forward to it. The exit closest to our room was near a sketchy gas station and the trash cans. There were often people hanging around there and people climbing in and out of the trash bins. Felt a bit unsafe.

I made reservations only to find they were serving only hamburger, frozen, not fresh, French fries and a fish sandwich. No advance notice when I made a reservation of a limited menu. However, the staff were very pleasant. I would not consider this a luxury hotel. I would not recommend this hotel.
