I was here to visit my daughter at Ithaca College. Overall the hotel was nice. I think it could use a little updating, but it was cozy and the room was spacious.
My one disappointment was that because of my daughter's schedule, I knew I would be doing some meals alone. When I booked here, they had a full restaurant on site and a lounge with a bar menu. But when I was there, the restaurant was permanently closed and the lounge was not serving food. I was not made aware of this until I went down to grab dinner before my daughter's concert, so I had to scramble to find a quick meal somewhere else.
I did enjoy a spa treatment there. The August Moon Spa was very nice and I recommend Garth as a masseuse. I also took a lovely hike by using a path at the back of the property that connects to the upper part of Buttermilk Falls. Overall, it is a lovely hotel that is more peaceful than the downtown hotels and close to Ithaca College.
