Courtyard byMarriott Ithaca

Not bad…
I chose to stay here for a long weekend because it’s a dog-​friendly hotel that looked clean and modern. Most of the guests staying here must’ve had a similar idea because there were several dogs hanging out.
I have to say though, the rates are a bit high considering that it’s not even centrally located or that fancy of a hotel.
I’m actually a Marriott gold elite but I didn’t get any special welcoming (that I normally get at other Marriott locations) which was disappointing. That being said, the staff are generally pleasant.
I guess I’d probably stay here again if my dog is traveling with me but otherwise, I’d try something closer to the Commons.

We just stayed four nights and the place was great! David at the front desk and the entire staff were all very accommodating! The food from the Bistro was very good. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for 2 nights and received nothing but excellent service. Hotel rooms are clean and comfortable. Not sure why this place has such low ratings, but we had a very positive experience.

I’ve stayed at this property three times now (on Associate rate when in town for Cnell reunion events) and very much wish I could give it a more positive review.
To their credit, the service I’ve experienced has been consistently solid (relative to select service standards) — specifically I’ve always had positive interactions with very personable and accommodating front desk associates.
On a less positive note, the signage on 13 and in general is terrible/​non-​existent and makes it challenging to find. Especially since it can’t be seen from the main road… Please…Invest in Signage!
The rooms are somewhat outdated and need improvement and additional investment, but they’re tolerable for a one or two night stay. Not of the same caliber of most other CY properties I’ve stayed in. The lobby and bistro are nice however. They’re welcoming and relatively modernized/​up to date.
Need to try and find a fix for the chlorine smell from pool leaking into the rooms on 1^st floor. On my first stay I had to change rooms 2x’s and on all stays (including one on 4^th floor), the rooms have generally not smelled good. Understanding this may not be a CY standard, it would still be nice if they could at least focus on making sure everything smells clean and fresh to improve the sensory experience.
Hope to see these improvements made in the future! :) especially the signage… an easy/​inexpensive fix! :)

Stay here for business trips. Very nice and relaxing rooms. Bistro downstairs is a bit over priced but good for hotel food. Staff is very friendly. I would recommend this place to friends and coworkers.

This place has a lot of gaul charging $ 240 per night… considering it is in Ithaca and not Manhattan! The elevators were broken and when I called down asking for towels they explained they would be damp since the machine wasn’t working? WTF?
For the same price I would have to imagine you would be able to find a much better option nearby.

The hotel itself was fine. My room seems to have been updated fairly recently or else it has held up well. However, the breakfast buffet was well below bad and I had to pay to get it. The scrambled eggs were watery, the bacon could not possibly have come from a pig and seemed microwaved not fried and I was barely able to choke down the one piece of what appeared to be pineapple. I actually have low expectations for a breakfast buffet but I don’t think they could have offered a worse spread than what I ate.

A fairly standard Marriot experience: Friendly service, clean rooms, good bedding, reliable internet. No worries here. Marriott may be slightly pricier than most places but its worth it.
My only gripe was the breakfast buffet which wasn’t terrible but the eggs were super-​runny (I know they are from a box but still). Also one day they had oatmeal (awesome) and then the next day they swapped it out with gruel… oh I mean grits. Also slow wait service.
Great desk staff. Helpful with recommendations on places to eat and very responsive and fast to check in.
TIP: Like many hotels they have a van that will take you anywhere you need to go. Use it. Don’t bother renting a car they are really responsive.

This Marriott is an out of the way hotel located in Tompkins Airport. You have to go through hoops to find it. They’re very neglectful, like Ithaca itself in providing signs.
The rooms and sheets are clean, beds comfortable and the surroundings quiet, which is surprising considering it’s in the middle of a busy airport. They offer free hardwire internet and most important ly a decent time block of uncensored Adult Cinema.
The pool is small, about 11 ft long by 5 ft wide and gym well equipped with rows of treadmills, elipictals and accompanying televisions.
The only food available is a small concession stand and a breakfast buffet, which like most Marriott breakfast buffets pretty much suck.
The coeds at the front desk seems to have a bit of an attitude. This is the first time I experienced something like this in any Marriott. The rest of the staff is very pleasant.
