Ithac
Contemporary college-town hotel with a clean, business-ready aesthetic. Navy blue rooms, lobby fireplace, and a restaurant that actually tries. Think reliable and well-located rather than design-forward.
Marriott Bonvoy members get complimentary Wi-Fi and may receive breakfast benefits — worth checking status before booking.
Why It Matters
The only full-service hotel in downtown Ithaca — equidistant at 1.5 miles from both Cornell University and Ithaca College. A complimentary shuttle runs to both campuses and the airport. Attached directly to the Ithaca Downtown Conference Center. Monks on the Commons, the on-site restaurant and bar, sources locally and draws non-guest regulars.
The only full-service hotel in downtown Ithaca, sitting right on the pedestrian commons with 159 rooms across 10 floors. Rooms lean into a calming navy-and-white palette, bathrooms have rainfall showers, and every room streams Netflix. It's physically attached to the Ithaca Downtown Conference Center, which makes it the go-to for Cornell parents weekend, recruiting trips, and Finger Lakes getaway groups. But there's no pool and no spa — know that going in.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
King Guest Room
One king bed in the same calming navy-and-white palette. The standard king configuration works well for solo travelers and couples. Rainfall shower, in-room streaming, and an ergonomic desk setup.
One King Bed
One-Bedroom King Suite
The top-tier option — king bedroom plus a separate living area with views over downtown Ithaca. More space to spread out, a chaise lounge or sofa arrangement, and all the same in-room tech as standard rooms. Suites book up fast during Cornell event weekends.
One King BedQueen/Queen Guest Room
Two queen beds with premium down comforters, navy-and-white décor, and a flat-screen TV with Netflix and streaming. Rainfall shower, mini-fridge, in-room coffee, and an ergonomic work desk. Good for families or two guests who prefer separate beds.
