La Tourelle is an excellent hotel and convenient for visiting the Ithaca area. The staff was excellent and went out of their way to provide exceptional service. The restaurant offered very good meal options prepared well. The grounds were lovely and quiet. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend La Tourelle to anyone.

This is a great place to stay in Ithaca. It’s about 10 minutes from the town center but it feels like you are in the country. Lots of open space, beautiful grounds, nice sunset views, and friendly staff make it a relaxing and enjoyable place to stay.

My opinion is influenced by recollections of what this property used to be under the former owner. It started out as a very upscale property (it used to be in the Relais & Chateaux group), and it was an "experience". I hadn't stayed here in about 15 years and now it's a clean, modern, friendly but completely non-descript, standard, property. It was a good value for the rate, and I would stay again.

Lovely hotel

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.

Excellent stay and experience.

I have been a frequent visitor of Ithaca lately as I adopted a dog with a multitude of medical issues and he goes to Cornell for treatment. I wish I had stayed here every visit. However, given that I stayed in 5 other hotels in the area I can pretty confidently say that LaTourelle is one of the best. From the staff to the people that stay there it was a fantastic experience. They more than accommodated Gandalf and I - they welcomed us and fussed over him. The spa is also a wonderful luxury, a not to be missed experience. There are also hotel activities. I can’t say enough. Would recommend to anyone.

Campground grills, picnic tables, food tent

Great experience

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.

Not perfect but really nice and perfect location.

The AC in our room didn't cool properly and the room was so humid our paperbacks curled. The shower was constantly running so our bathroom was hot and steamy. The staff was made aware of this problem. It wasn't so bad we would ask for a different room but it was less than perfect. Otherwise it's a great place. The old charm is comfortable. We would return in a heartbeat.

Very friendly and helpful staff. I definitely felt that the guests' satisfaction and comfort is their top priority. The grounds are lovely and so was our spacious room. We had driven to the upper lot of Buttermilk Falls with the intent of hiking to the base of the falls and back, but after reaching the base, a member of our party didn't feel quite well and was unsure if they could hike back to our car. Even though we had checked out of the hotel earlier that day, we called the hotel and asked if someone could pick us up iwith the hotel shuttle van and drive us back to our car. Without hesitation we were told "yes" and our ride was there within a few minutes. The driver was courteous and friendly and saved our day!
