Very close to waterfalls, Cornell campus, restaurants. Our bed was comfy, fireplace and Jacuzzi were great additions. Breakfast options were great, clean and well attended. Sadly our non-smoking room and towels smelled like cigarettes. Our shower pipes were loose, drippy and hard to control temperature.

Love the Best Western Ithaca hotel. Rooms are always clean and the entire staff are welcoming. Love the all day hot tea and coffee provided for free too all guests. Had an issue with thermostat in my room, the heat never cut off. It was stuffy and warm. Turned on the fan and AC…and they also never cut off. Difficult to regulate temperature in the room.
