La Tourelle Resort & Spa - Ithaca

We had a wonderful stay. The only thing was that our bed was a little too soft and the bathroom sink was backed up. Other than that everyone was very nice and hospitable. Loved it and would definitely return.

King fireplace Rooms are nice - bed is great. Spa is great. And I had a good breakfast in the pretty bistro. Staff is helpful. Wouldn't pay their rates so glad to find such a deal on hotels.com. It is a unique hotel - better than a chain anytime! More like a Boutique Inn.

Not sure I would take a family, expensive and rooms were small. Otherwise everyone would enjoy. We did not spend a lot of time at the resort, as we are not really "spa" people, but we joined in the Happy Hour wine tasting. The people were great we had a wonderful time. We met the owner, Wally, one evening and it was quite a treat. The staff was top […] notch and very pleasant. Read more

The hotel has a European feel to it, with a big fireplace in the open lobby. Nightly wine tastings are very good, with knowledgeable and pleasant persons pouring local wines. Our room was well-appointed with comfortable bedding and a spacious bathroom. The only disappointment was the breakfast at the bistro -- we thought it was overpriced, and the quality […] of the food was low. We had breakfast one morning in Ithaca at the DeWitt mall, and that was much better. Read more

Room was a pleasant surprise. Room was large, bed was comfortable, decorated tastefully, views and setting are scenic (saw 4 deer out our window), convenient to Cornell University and downtown Ithaca. Restaurant a bit pricey. Employees are helpful and friendly. Had a great time meeting the owner - a very personable guy.

The decor is a bit tired. The wallpaper, hallways, rugs, lobby, etc. seemed old. The bathroom was an odd match of renovated and unrenovated. The spa is a very nice feature. Staff were excellent. Good location for visiting Cornell.

My daughter and I stayed one night prior to a university tour. We stayed in an upper floor king room. The room was beautiful, the bed comfortable and the whirlpool tub a relaxing treat. We had breakfast at the restaurant down stairs. The food was delicious and our server was extremely welcoming and friendly. Will stay here again!

Genuine Expedia guest review

La Tourelle had possibly the most beautiful rooms we've ever seen in a hotel. The lobby was less spectacular, but had a pleasant, homey feel, and a complimentary wine tasting every evening between five and six. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The food at the on-site breakfast cafe was excellent--we did not try out the restaurant or spa. You can […] hike from the hotel grounds to Buttermilk Falls, down a lovely gorge trail. Well worth the trip! Read more

The standout of the whole stay was the excellent customer service and attentive staff: friendly, responsive, and welcoming. Less than 24 hours before our stay we needed a pet friendly resort. Kim was able to switch us to one of their 3 pet friendly rooms for the same rate. The room was large and comfortable with a king sized bed and fluffy duvet with […] a fresh cover. NO gross comforter. The whole room was tiled so no gross carpeting either. It had a large table for 2 with plenty of room to spread out and a private deck off the room with a table and chairs. The bathroom was large and stocked sample sizes of some toiletries that came in handy when I realized I had forgotten to replace some in my bag. The decor was fine, but a little dated. The chairs had upholstery that needed be redone. The grounds were very nice and access for dog walking was right outside our door. There were three trails to walk on and a pond and gazebos to explore. Since we had the dog, we ordered room service from the John Thomas steakhouse. The meal was excellent. My filet mignon was done perfectly, and arrived hot and with a nice char. My husband's rib eye was huge and also done perfectly. With appetizers, a side dish, dessert and a service charge, the whole meal cost just under $150. It was worth it. The following morning we helped ourselves to the fresh coffee available in the lobby (throughout the day) and dressed and packed at leisure. Read more

The only issue was there were no extra outlets anywhere in the room for charging electronics- we ended up charging on the bathroom sink. The room was large and very clean with a extremely comfy bed.

bed was very soft. would have preferred a little more firmness

Lovely room, great people!

Absolutely breathtaking scenery; wonderfully friendly and helpful staff; great food; comfortable room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The decorating was a little tired, but the room was spotless, the amenities in the room were generous, the sheets and bed were luxurious and the outdoor breakfast in the garden was perfect. We were visiting Cornell and it was a 5 minute drive, really not a problem as I had feared, at all.

It is a wonderful family run first class hotel....with an excellent steak house on the premises!

The hotel stay was very pleasant however the restaurant staff provided poor service. The breakfast food was mediocre. My children's pancakes were burned... Next time we stay there we will not be having breakfast there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My one complaint about La Tourelle was the inability to regulate the temperature in the room. Our room was incredibly hot and it was difficult to sleep, although the mattress and pillows were fabulously comfortable. There was a note on the heating element that asked guests not to turn on the AC but instead to press a "standby" button. Both my son and […] I had a very hard time sleeping because of the temperature of the room. Other than that, everyone was very helpful and the hotel was lovely. Read more

the most comfortable bed i ever slept on room was very clean. very elegant decor

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Upon my arrival, I was impressed by the pretty exterior of the hotel. The "lobby" was ececlectic and "funky". It's apparently an older hotel with upgrades. The room itself appeared very clean and tidy. However, when I turned the comforter down to go to sleep, I noticed several hairs on the sheets. I asked the young girl at the reception desk if housekeeping […] was available to change the sheets as they apparently forgot to do so. She said no one was on duty at that hour (about 11 p.m.) but she immediately locked up the front desk and brought a new set of sheets herself. I helped her change the bed, and again noticed hairs on the mattress pad and (new) sheets. She felt very bad about this and picked them off with a tissue. I thanked her for her help but told her it's things like this that will prevent a customer from returning. The bathroom was very clean, although a large spider had spun a web in the corner of the tub and I had to remove him. Not sure when the last time someone stayed in this room... It's a shame...my room was very neat, orderly and appeared clean, but this experience did not sit well with me! Read more

La Tourelle is a very nice hotel convenient to Ithaca College and the wineries around Cayuga Lake. The rooms are large and well appointed. There is a restaurant that serves an amazingly large and sumptuous breakfast, as well as a high end steakhouse across the parking lot.

We loved La Tourelle...the rooms were beautiful...the service was excellent....they have a spa on site which offers a variety of services...2 restaurants...we came up here for a reunion weekend and were so impressed!!!! We hiked through the Buttermilk Falls which are right there.....what a great time we had!!!

La Tourelle is a beautiful old world place. The rooms have hard wood floors and the beds are luxurious. I had the Avignon room with a view of the valleyas a abckdrop for the gazebos and ponds on the property . Iwas lulled to slep by peepers and bullfrogs. Peaceful, CLEAN accomodations. Located right next to the state park. The breakfast was a wonderful […] value: fresh danish, omelette with local goat cheese, fresh juice, coffee and a fruit cup for $18!! There was a wine tasting from 5-10 with complimentary local wines! The staff was wonderful and helpful. Best hotel stay in a long while. Highly recommend! Read more

La Tourelle Resort and Spa was essentially one stop shopping in a rather remote area as far as hotel accommodations go. Everything you need is here at the resort, no need to go any further other than your intended destination. We were visiting Ithaca College and this hotel was just down the road about 1/2 mile or so. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was […] at the resort as well as a pool, spa services, computer access, etc. History of the resort was also very interesting as the owner is also the same family that started the Divi Resorts in Aruba, so I was hooked! Lovely to learn the history of the business Did not have time to take advantage of the hikes or walking paths offered on the property, but it's there if wanted. Bed was luxuriously comfortable, appreciated the warming light in the bathroom and room was extremely large and spacious (king bed room). Will definitely go back. Read more

This place was a wonderful surprise. Although we didn't take advantage of the on-site spa, it had everything you could hope for. The property abuts a state park with amazing waterfalls (which I suppose describes half of the neighborhoods in Ithaca). The staff was courteous, the rooms were luxurious without feeling cold or snobby, and the feel of the […] place was just perfect. Read more
