The Statler Hotel at Cornell University
Dinner: We ordered mushroom pasta and the cauliflower soup. I took three bites of the pasta and couldnt eat it. It was terrible. The soup was too oily. We had a guest so we didn't want to complain

Courtyard by Marriott Ithaca Airport/University
We were very comfortable. We didn’t have our room cleaned during our 3-night stay, but they replenished our towels without even asking. The in-room coffee was not great, but they offer Starbucks for purchase in the restaurant.
