Was concerned on some of the bad reviews online, booked this hotel while visiting Cornell with our daughter, room was very clean, comfortable bed and pillows, walking distance to the commons where there are shops and restaurants. Front desk was very helpful. Would definitely stay again, we got a great price through Priceline.com, there is another hotel down the block... more

My wife and I stayed at the Holiday Inn for Cornell's reunion weekend 2009 and very much enjoyed our stay. The hotel is not fancy, but has modern, clean rooms, and the staff is friendly and accomodating. We were impressed by the hotel overall and would definitely stay there again when visiting Ithaca. more

Stayed here with my parents for my sister's graduation. I can't speak much to the $ value of our stay since every hotel in the area inflates its rates during commencement. It didn't seem like all of their staff was prepared for the craziness of commencement. The non-management staff (i.e. not Jason? or Glenn) were irritable and even rude, and... more

This hotel is in a great location if you need to be in downtown Ithaca. The parking is convenient and ample. The staff was fantastic. I was traveling with a newborn and they checked me in early and let me have late check out... The price was on the high side for me. I was a little disappointed that there... more

I chose Holiday Inn Ithaca because it had pretty decent reviews and is conveniently located near Cornell. The staff was very welcoming and helpful in every way. The best part of staying at this hotel is definitely the complimentary shuttle. You just tell them where you need to be and what time, and they will take you there (unless someone... more

Our client paid for our room so we didn't have any input. This might be the best hotel in Ithaca, I can't say since I didn't spend time comparing. I called the hotel directly to request a smoking room, non-smokers will be pleased to know the hotel is entirely non-smoking, not just common areas but all rooms. That's fine, I... more

I ate dinner the first night at the hotel. Their diner (Max's) is average American cuisine with decent prices. Upon checking into my first room there were soiled underwear visible in the curtains as soon as I entered the room. The housekeeping was definitely far below average. The hotel rooms have a worn down feel. They are serviceable, but not... more

Lights are blown in several places, toilet seat is broken, doors are worn, scum in the corners.... in short your stay will entail constant maintenance requests to the front desk. To top it off, both elevators were down. Yes, both. There are cobwebs between the curtains and windows. Come on people, cob webs? Oh, and while it would be unreasonable... more

My wife and I stayed at the H.I. Ithaca for 3 nights in mid-September. We stayed in Room 491 (in the tower section), a room that faces a parking garage, but does offer a slight view of the Cornell U. campus on the hill overlooking town. Since we were there for work we payed the gov't rate of $106 per... more
