Beautiful property. Clearly had been renovated recently - our room was spacious and beautiful. Friendly staff. You can walk to the trails behind the property to see waterfalls (and arrange for pickup by the hotel if you don't want to walk back). We did not get a chance to use the spa.

LaTourelle was lovely. They are currently undergoing renovations so the check in was at the spa on the lower level, but otherwise it was great.

Friendly, helpful staff in a comfortable and quiet setting, while still very convenient to Ithaca proper! We've stayed here multiple times now, and always have a great experience. Rooms are spacious and welcoming.

I love staying at La Tourelle. The last time we visited earlier this year the renovations were ongoing, this visit the renovations were complete and I have to say the improvements were needed. My very first visit last year you could hear everything now with the new doors and upgrades you can’t hear any neighboring rooms. The double beds are very comfortable along with the king beds. I often sleep better there than I do at home on my brand new mattress. The staff are always friendly and helpful not to mention welcoming to us which I find important in a hotel. The rooms are also affordable which makes a huge difference and is part of the reason I continue to book here, the quality is worth every penny! Overall 10/10 I will continue to stay at La Tourelle every time I am in Ithaca.

We unintentionally challenged the patience & hospitality of this amazing staff in a number of ways: from having to change our reservations twice on short notice, checking in at lam (!), extending our stay, bringing a service animal, and more,... we're not usually such a pain, but none of this was received with anything other than a smile and a genuine desire to help and accommodate.
As a matter of fact, one of the owners actually helped us out with our bags. So it's clear that this culture of hospitality begins with leadership, and is shared by every member of the staff. We will definitely be back, and we're eager to check out the Firelight Camps, as well!
Sidenote, the trail right off of the Firelight Camps (immediately behind the Inn) is a fantastic way to immediately access nature.
10/10!!!

Everything was fantastic especially considering the hotel was under major renovations (which explains the only non 5 rating😊).

Overall, stay was very good. We had a newly renovated room which was nice. There was construction going on in the main lobby, but the directional signs were well laid out. We got down to breakfast at 9:30am and all of the hot food was gone, so a little disappointing. The bathroom door would stick which made it difficult to quietly open it and not disturb those who were still sleeping. The proximity to Ithaca College was very convenient. The person who welcomed us and checked us in was very friendly.

Loved the staff and the onsite spa. The room was spacious and well appointed. The fireplace and jetted tub were great. There is a nice little exercise room that has a treadmill, bike and eliptical. Bed was fairly comfortable but I wish there were a few nicer quality pillows
