We stayed 2 nights at the Hilton Garden Inn in Ithaca, NY while bicycling the Finger Lakes enroute to the Canadian Tandem Rally. The lobby of the hotel is up to Hilton standards as was our room--I requested a room on the top floor (#931) and was granted this request. The hotel is within walking distance to many eateries and... more

Uniformly attentive, caring, good-natured and attractive staff. Very comfortable room with nice view; houskeeping perfect. Excellent breakfast. Look forward to returning as soon as I can find an excuse, or maybe even if I have none. more

We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn for one night while in town for a concert at the State Theater. The best part about this hotel is the location. It is literally right on the commons. Many great restaurants are within a block or two, as is the State Theater. Also, the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I... more

We went to Ithaca for a college interview and to see performances connected with the three day Light in Winter Festival (in its 5th year). The hotel staff at the check-in desk had already guessed we were there for at least one of those two events and immediately offered shuttle service, at no cost (but we did of course tip... more

We stayed at the Hilton while taking our son back to Cornell over the winter break. He wanted to arrive week before school was scheduled to be back in session due to fraternity pledge week, so the hotel was almost empty. The facility is relatively new. Ithaca has always had a paucity of first-class hotels (ironic, since Cornell has the... more

My son and I stayed at this hotel while visiting Cornell this summer. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The room was lovely. The people at the front desk went out of their way to offer suggestions for restaurants, provided maps, and arranged for a van to take us back and forth to the Admissions Office on the Cornell campus.... more

The easiest way to describe my pleasure with this hotel is to let everyone know that I'm a platinum Marriott rewards member who will only stay at the HGI in Ithaca (one of the few cities where I choose another chain over Marriott). The hotel is the newest full-service hotel in Ithaca, the staff is pleasant and helpful, the rates... more

We stayed on Labor Day evening in order to visit Ithaca College the next morning and drive up through Canada. The hotel is centrally located in Ithaca, right across the street from an outdoor central "commons" which is a pedestrian only street in the middle of Ithaca. It is full of trendy shops, bookstores and some restaurants. The downside to... more

We spent one night here, on the way to Toronto and would highly recommend this hotel for it's location and reasonable rates... The hot tub is superb...probably the best we've ever been in.....the room was spotless and the staff was very helpful....The breakfast deal was okay...but, since you are right by the commons...you can do better just walking one block... more
