Spa Hotels in Ithaca

Ithaca is hotel challenged to begin with, it’s not unheard of to pay $220 plus dollars to stay at the Rodeway - granted it’s remodeled - but it’s still a motel people. Having stayed at nearly all the economically priced options in ithaca here’s the truth - it’s slim pickings and those pretty photos they post - it’s usually a bold face bordering on ridiculous lie - the Quality Inn is no different. There are many vagrants in the parking lot all night, just having a good ole time. In the morning are the remnants and litter of Natural Ice cans and HUNDREDS of cigarette buts stacked in an ashtray. It’s really truly bad. I know it’s cheap. But Unless you’re stuck, do your best to avoid it. The staff. The saving grace was the nightshift woman. She seemed genuinely personable and caring. But that’s it. The others? From John to all the daytime ladies - well, someone must of crushed all their dreams, because they’re mopey bordering on angry. The highest level of service you should expect is for them to tolerate your presence in their lobby. Go ahead - you smile, be kind, ask them how they’re day is. If you get above resting bitter face consider yourself lucky. If you get a “have a nice day” you must have achieved pinnacle status of Choice points. If by some miracle they break a smile - it’s probably at you. I was there four days - they don’t greet you from the front desk - you’ll greet them when they arrive from whatever cave they hide in because they’re never at the front unless they have to be. It’s pretty clear none of them want to be there - can’t say I blame them. If your magnet key fails (as 5 of mine did, and the person’s behind me as well) there is a 100% chance that John will say to you “well, you must have deactivated it.” Doesn’t matter that you carefully guarded it from every magnet and electrical field on planet Earth. Even if you stored it in a hermetically sealed box John will let you know - it’s definitely your fault. Because it’s impossible for their grime filled worn to crap 1990 magic magnetic encoder could be the source of the issue. The room: the bed was comfortable - The pillows were good and it looked clean. Then there’s that delightful jacuzzi bath for your aching back. Well, you better be prepared to clean that sucker, cause evidently no one else will. Perhaps a discount for each glop of hair? You make peace with the fact that things are worn and dated at this price point, but why can’t they be clean? See the photo of the floor - I thought it was wet in two large spots, but it’s some kind of polyurethane spill (that’s what I’m telling myself, you can touch it if you want to know. I won’t.) There’s other problems too - but that’s enough. I checked out two days early. They kept one night’s payment. That’s the way it goes!

Hilton Garden Inn has always been my go-to place, and although I have enjoyed my stay at every single one I have gone to so far (Evanston IL and Springfield MA), this Ithaca location has been the best one thus far. We came to Ithaca to visit the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and upon discovering that Ithaca had a HGI, we booked right away. Every single staff member at Ithaca was patient, more than willing to help, and gave just the right information at the right time. The care and attentiveness actually started a few days before our check-in day, with Jessica and Rachel responding to any question I had asked. I appreciated that the wellness texts continued during our visit as well. There were two restaurants onsite, and the area also has many eateries that we grew to love (especially CollegeTown Bagels!). Parking was conveniently across the street from the onsite Starbucks. The entire room was clean, beds were very comfortable for the weary travelers, and as an added touch, the front lobby featured delicacies that were made by local businesses. I really appreciated that connection to the community, and believe that it definitely puts the Ithaca location above all others. Whenever we are back in Ithaca, we will be sure to book at HGI Ithaca again. Thank you so much for a memorable and pleasant stay!

Everyone was kind and courteous, from the valet to the front desk to our waiter during breakfast. We asked if we could possibly get the view facing the clock tower, and we were moved to the 9th floor. The room was very clean and had the view we were hoping for. The beds were comfortable; all was quiet at night. We enjoyed our breakfast the following morning. This was a nice experience for my son who was visiting the university. The location can't be beat!

For the children to go to Cornell University summer research, compare several hotels in Ithaca, and finally choose this cost-effective one. In the past, there were more choices of Hilton hotels, and this one did not disappoint us. The child arrived at noon on July 28th and had not yet arrived at check-in time. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming and checked in immediately, allowing the child to rest after dozens of hours of boat and car straining. For a few days in the hotel, we can feel the thoughtful and meticulous service of the hotel, the quality of breakfast is also very good, and the need for defense under the epidemic has taken care of us thousands of miles away. The hotel is very close to Cornell University and college town. The child is very satisfied and willing to recommend this hotel to friends.

My review would have been much different before COVID, but now, almost all hotels have service problems so in light of the situation our stay was nice. Rooms were big and clean. Breakfast area is big and food was OK.

The location is very good, the transportation is very convenient, it is very close to the pedestrian street, and there are many convenience stores around the restaurant. The standard room is two meters wide and can accommodate a family of four without an extra bed. There is free parking and there is a gas station next to it. Hotel service is very good.

A three-star hotel is standard, far from the city center, there are large supermarkets and restaurants nearby, there is a Chinese restaurant Szechuan cuisine not far away, and the milkshake park is not very far, there is parking lot, if you drive well

Can live! Don't ask for any quality! I saw the comments of the predecessors, thinking that the second floor rooms are better, not black, not tide, and ask for the second floor room in advance. When I arrived at the store, I was told that there was no elevator! Happy son is big! Help me with the box! Behind the travellers carefully choose.

Meet the expectations of the US economy hotel. There is free breakfast, opposite is a large shopping mall; there is a restaurant, parking lot is spacious; front desk service is timely. A few kilometers from Cornell, it is quite convenient and convenient
