My brother was getting married. He booked the rooms for us Unfortunately, it was NASCAR weekend at Watkins Glen so rooms in the Ithaca area were scarce. He knows we like nice accommodations. He told us this was the best place in Ithaca. Well...we were assigned to the Tennis cottage which looked like a converted garage or maintenance shed. It... more

Being the procrastinator that I am, I needed to find a place not to far away on short notice to get my friend out of town so her husband could set up for her surprise 40th birthday. This place worked out perfectly. It's small but quaint, the rooms are big and the staff was very nice. We each had a... more

I don't get to relax often enough, so a quick getaway in the Finger Lakes was just right. It was off season, although this resort is near the Ithaca and Cornell college campuses. That means parents stay there year round too. The staff were friendly and personable. I wish they could teach a class on hospitality! I indulged in a... more

We stayed here for our second year anniversary with our dog and it was wonderful. The staff was great and the food wonderful, veru organic and fresh. Plenty of room for the dog and trails which led to open falls. We went on a wine tour with a driver and it was very convient to get around the city/wineries. The... more

I stayed in the tennis cottage with a group of friends. It is literally a converted locker room for the former tennis bubble (now a parking lot) It wasn't anything fancy. We had difficulty getting hotel services - for example - the cottage had no phone. The breakfast included in our package was fine. Again, not fancy but good enough.... more

We went to La Tourelle in mid-June. My main concern was being able to set the room’s thermostat below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Neither the Courtyard Marriott, Hampton Inn, nor the Statler Hotel met this need. La Tourelle has a recent addition in which the air conditioner’s thermostat was capable of being adjusted to the temperature I requested. The rates during... more

This was a sad experience. Personnel was great, the location was great, but the rooms were outdated and the beds were uncomfortable. In addition, the spa downstairs, which I thought would be wonderful, was overpriced to say the least. When you are staying at place that you think is upscale, yet the steam room is covered in mildew and there... more

I booked the Tower room at Latourelle in the hopes of staying in a room with an exceptionally romantic atmosphere as described on their webiste. I was alittle apprehensive because there was not a photo but the other rooms looked beautiful so I thought this would hold true for their most romantic room. The description of the Tower room is... more

If you love romance and relaxation, this is the place to stay while in the Finger Lakes Region. The yellow Barn Suite is incredible, although the luxurious leather sofa is not made for cuddling while you sit by the fire with a signifigant other or try to watch a movie on the state of the art projection tv system. Instead... more
