So a fun hotel! Great bar, great cocktails. Short walk to downtown for good restaurants. Lots of charm unlike the big box hotels in Ithaca!

Just a wonderful place. A place that you can see creativity and heart was put into it, not another cookie cutter corporate bland hotel. The price and value was great. The beds and room was comfortable, the bar was fun, and the coffee in the morning was nice to have. Thank you

The Argos Inn was a wonderful stay. The rooms are comfortable and homey and the lobby bar was a great space to hang out. We also had drinks in their Warehouse bar space across the parking lot which was a lot of fun. Its all in easy walking distance to the Commons -- would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Amazing Architecture
Beautiful old building that has been modernized. I really enjoyed my stay. The architecture is amazing with 12 feet high ceilings in every room. Winding staircases, plenty of sitting rooms. We enjoyed exploring the place while having a nice glass of wine.

If you love old victorian ambience, this is the place for you. I recommend it for a romantic stay, or if you a re a solo business traveller. Each room is unique, and if you value your bathroom experience, I find the rooms to be super clean, and the showers exceptional for a hotel. The place is quiet, the staff is friendly but reserved.

Beautiful historic hotel
Amazing stay! Beautifully decorated historic hotel. Great service too. When they were told by the city that we would lose water they gave us lots of extra bottles of water and sent us notifications. They also gave us a discount. Turns out the water didn’t actually get shut off.

The Inn itself was amazing! We loved the unique decor, we had a great time enjoying the bar outside at night and then had a quiet cup of coffee in the beautiful, sunny sunroom in the morning. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the bed, which we both found uncomfortable; the mattress was quite stiff and the pillows were small and not supportive. But other than the bed we loved everything and would stay again (but would choose a different room and hope for a better bed)!
