Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ithaca, NY

8/10 Good

"Staff was wonderful and friendly. Suite furniture dated. Afraid to sit on wobbly chair. Toilet seat and handle needed defrosting replacement. Refrigerator needs defrosting as everything froze. Overall nice stay and close driving to dinner and college campus. Beautiful location and close to buttermilk falls!"

Inn at Taughannock Falls

10/10 Excellent

"2 night getaway to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. Beautiful location that was very quiet and cozy that made it feel like we had the entire place to ourselves. Loved the outdoor seating areas with fire pits and direct access to Taughannock Falls State Park. The continental breakfast & our anniversary dinner was perfect! We stayed in the Lakeview building adjacent to main Inn building. Room was beautiful that offered a wonderful view of Cayuga Lake. Compliments to the entire staff from check-in host, restaurant staff, executive chef and housekeeping. Would recommend a stay here as it provides close proximity to downtown Ithica and multiple wineries."
