Hotel is older but we'll kept. Staff was extremely helpful and breakfast was perfect
Irsam
Accommodating staff and clean room .
Shawnnelle
The hotel is old and a bit run down. It looked clean but had an old, musty smell in the room. No vent in the bathrooms either. There appeared to be mold on the lamp shades.
The hotel has potential, just needs a lot of renovations.

Conny
Overall, my stay was okay, but the hotel needs better maintenance and cleanliness. The shower tiles were dirty, the toilet did not flush properly, and there was mold around the sink. The entrance to my floor had leaves all over the walkway, making it look poorly maintained. The building felt old and did not smell fresh, and the dark colors added to the worn, outdated atmosphere. The bed linens were clean, but the mattress was sagging and uncomfortable. Overall, the rooms and common areas would benefit from more thorough cleaning and better upkeep.
Deborah
Good clean room. Comfortable beds. Very accommodating staff.
Katie
We had a great time. Sandy was amazing and so kind!
JEFFREY W
Room was clean, but dated. Exterior doors were not locked or card controlled.
There was a leak during the night that soaked the carpet in my room. When I informed the staff upon checking out, they didn’t seem surprised much less apologetic.

Very outdated. Room keys don’t work, had to constantly go to the front desk to rekey.
Shereen
Location was great. Staff was friendly. The property was run down, but still tidy. My daughter found the place “very dingy”. I thought it was fine, but clearly our standards are different.
Yuecheng
Good price

Lovely hotel, centrally located in wine country and a stone's throw from Cayuga Lake. Classic 70's design, which we liked. Halls were a little dark and some walkways showed signs of age, but the facility is well maintained, with a beautiful central courtyard and dining area, and an outdoor pool that is open from early morning till after 10 at night. Comfortable beds and pleasant decorating. Staff is very helpful. It is very close to stores and pharmacies if supplies are needed, as well as at least one good restaurant (Ciao! Italian - recommended by staff) within a half mile. Close to interstate that leads to center of town. Refrigerators and microwaves in all rooms, along with clear, big-screen TVs. Cheerful carpeting and draperies. Bathroom floors could use an upgrade, but paint and tile are fresh and clean, showers have at least one grab bar, and mirrors are well-placed. Easy-to-operate air conditioner that works well. We slept in, so didn't get to try the breakfast, but our stay was enjoyable and we would stay here again.
Marcelo
The breakfast was the best one ever.
Aliza
Clean room, friendly staff, comfy bed and powerful shower!
Janice
The room was very clean and a gift bag with two bottles of water, cookies, and pretzels was waiting for us. The bathroom was clean, but dated. The air conditioning unit was not as noisy as some, but still kept me awake. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was well stocked, but I wished it opened earlier than 7 am. The property itself is a little dated.
Venkatswamy
It was okay, not the best!
Richard
The breakfast was over- the-top! Well stocked with great food!
Wagner
The shower would not drain, my employees are staying there after working in construction all day and could not even take a shower.

Cayuga Blu is in a great location to travel to downtown Ithaca or a 3 minute drive to Stewart park on Cayuga Lake! It has everything you need! Clean rooms, comfy beds, indoor & outdoor pools!! Convenient to Target, McDonalds, & a grocery store!! We will return soon!!
gilbert
Awesome family friendly and pet friendly hotel. Wonderful breakfast.

The location made it easy to reach Cornell and downtown.
The complimentary breakfast had a nice variety of choices.And was great.
The hotel offered great value for the quality provided.
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

The staff was very friendly, the room was clean, comfy bed, and the pool was perfect, clean and clear on a hot day. The full buffet breakfast was great. This place was a welcome value. Would stay again if we're traveling in the area.
ELVINA
Very outdated property. Liked the outdoor pool. Breakfast was ok.
Ron

Larry
Breakfast buffet was excellent. Hallways were hot. Staff were all very friendly. Our second time here. We’ll be back.
paulette
Clean & quite, but was dark inside giving off a dark and dismal vibe. Breakfast was great though and their pool looked very nice. Beds were only a full size. Would be better with Queens. Bathrooms were dated but clean.
Les
All good
Linda
Outdoor pool courtyard area was perfect place to have breakfast,relax, unwind so not limited to just your room. Very good,real breakfast. Staff was helpful, especially Sandy at night. Rooms a little dated but comfortable with good, quiet air conditioner. Lots of parking
Jadalize
We had an overall great stay! The hotel is conveniently located near many beautiful waterfalls, which made exploring the area so easy. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The complimentary breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed relaxing by the outdoor pool. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily book this hotel again on a future trip!
Joan
This property comes across as so outdated that it's kind of charming. The rug at the entrance from the parking lot in the back was not clean (truckers foot prints?) and give me a bad first impression. The room was fine, just outdated. Breakfast was fine.
Alberto
The staff was super friendly, they work really hard to get the property going! You can tell the place fell in disrepair, hence all the new paint and cleaning and fixing! So they are bringing the place back to top shape, I guess the landscaping is one of the last stops but they are coming around, the breakfast is fantastic, so many choice! I'm coming back for sure!
Stuart
The closest hotel to the Star Wars cantina I’ve ever stayed at.
Lara
Staff was so accommodating! Our 3rd year staying here. Rooms were clean and breakfast plus the pool use is perfect!
Justin

karen
The Cayuga Blu was dated but clean and comfortable and just right for our needs. Staff was welcoming & courteous - breakfast was included, pool looked nice although we didn’t have time to use it…overall a decent value for the weekend we needed it…
Meiling
It is old
Kimberly
Clean room. Nice location even if outside the city center. Exercise room was clean and well maintained.
Katie
The hotel is a bit dated and worn, but it is clean, the staff is very friendly and kind, and the breakfast is plentiful and yummy. I've stayed at Cayuga Blue twice now and once at the Marriott by the airport, and I would choose Cayuga Blue every time I visit Ithaca.
Ben
Our room was very clean and comfortable. The beds and linens were extra nice. Breakfast was wonderful, exercise room equipment was worn but useable. Pools were nice.,the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Will stay again!
Tahme
Breakfast was great with lots of excellent choices. The pool was enjoyable.
Sean
Good value for the price. Clean room and bathroom and staff were friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the breakfast also.
Kristen
Spacious room with very comfortable bed. Staff was very helpful. Great hotel for a good price.
Jing
We stayed for 8 days. Super nice staff all around! Great breakfast, great staff, long hours breakfast available to 10am! Plenty of parking spots. Yes, the building is a little old, yet the room, the bed, the bathroom are all very clean! Very safe area! Best value in town!
James
Breakfast.
Glen
The hotel is somewhat dated, but accommodation was comfortable and the included breakfast was very good. The interior was very humid and had a damp odour. The air conditioning dealt with the humidity after we turned it on. However we discovered that the odour was coming from the wet carpet in our room. The carpet between the bed and the window was noticeably damp. The window was not in the best condition. Either it leaked or someone left it open during a rain event.
Richard
Convenient location. The breakfast was well stocked. The room was big and clean.
Karen
The staff was lovely and the hotel was comfortable. The property is getting a bit old, but the hotel is clean and quiet. And the breakfast was substantial.
JEAN
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet had lots of choices and stayed stocked. Loved the free Keurig Coffee available 24/7
Regina
The place needs an overhaul of the rooms & rugs. Rest in tub and paint coming off the shower soap dish. Wallpaper coming off wall.
Vikas
Quite generous “free” breakfast
Julian
Staff very attentive hearty breakfast quiet restful convieent location
Tigran
Very, very kind people!
Shawn
Very, very pet friendly. Hot breakfast. Clean room.
LuAnn
The only nice thing I can say is the staff were really nice. We didn’t stay the second night. This is NOT a secure building!! Exterior doors are open to everyone! Our window didn’t even lock. Bed was uncomfortable, pillows were size of toddler pillows, room was not clean hallways had cobwebs on doors and weren’t clean. Bathroom had long black hair on the wall in the shower and pubic hair on the ledge and the shower head was so low hubby couldn’t fit under it. Outdoor pool wasn’t opened.Breakfast was pretty good. 2 stars was generous
Mike
Breakfast was great
Abraham
Cost effective
Doug
Pulling up, the property looked abandoned, and once inside, it probably should have been. Staff seemed to be trying their best, but not going to lie, if it wasnt nonrefundable, I would not have stayed there
Gang
room was clear， staff were nice， breakfast was OK
Michelle
This is a decent hotel at a reasonable price. The staff is very sweet. The breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and the hotel was quiet for the most part. If the hotel looks a little dated to you, don't let that dissuade you. It's a nice property and well worth the price. :)
Joseph
Good value. Quite dated but clean. Nice staff. Plenty of parking. Seems like it would be good for people with dogs, as we heard the odd barking from time to time. Not sure if and when they fill the outdoor pool. If it's important to you, you should call ahead and find out.
Michael
Best breakfast at a hotel in a long time
Paul
The room was clean & smelled clean.
Breakfast was tremendous. Staff was attentive to keep food replenished. Cleaned tables as soon as people departed.
Parking is in the back.
The entrance into the lobby is deceiving as the huge parking lot in front of the hotel - one wonders if there the only one at the hotel that night.
The entrance could use better lighting.
We were satisfied with our stay and would go again.

The property is older but clean. Breakfast was decent. The staff were all nice and friendly. We were there for a big reunion weekend in Cornell and other hotels were much more expensive. We were happy to have this hotel as a reasonably priced, nice option.
VENU
Disgusting room with stinky corridors. Shower tub was blocked with water while showering. Vacated in 3 hours and rebooked at another hotel close by which was much better.
Danielle
It was just ok. The breakfast was great but the room and ammenities felt just ok.
Renato
The room smelled bad, the bathroom was not properly cleaned, and I found bugs in the room even though the doors and windows were kept closed. Overall, the cleanliness and upkeep were below expectations.
Stephanie
This hotel must have been beautiful when it was built, but it is OLD.
Brian
Beds can be better. Good breakfast
Nikhil
We had a very pleasant graduation stay!
Alejandra M
I was thoroughly impressed y the staff, their courteous attitude and service were excellent. I was impressed by the quality of service and kindness. The amenities were great and the staff were super helpful and kind. Would definitely recommend to everybody!!
Song
Very old property. Doors were not fire-proof Doors. In fact, there was about an inch of space at the bottom of the door where the hallway could be visible. Anyone with intentions to break in could have slipped in a huge hook under the door and open the door.
In-room safe was not working. Refrigerator worked super well for our drinks. Staff were super super nice, friendly and professional. Rooms were clean, despite the very very old appearance. Many working lamps in the room made the room bright enough.
We brought our dog. We were told that there were designated rooms that allowed pets, which means, I guess, there were pets in the room before us at some point. The room sort of smelled funny.
Windows do not open, so we had to use the AC unit to ventilate the room whenever we felt stuffy.
Convenient location with groceries, gas, target, subway and McDonald's within walking distance.
We were there for Cornell graduation and lodging was limited in the area. Conveniently close to the campus for us to go back and forth multiple times a day. Was able to book only 2 nights. Some hotels in the area requires three nights minimum.

We came for Cornell grad weekend and the hotel and staff did everything to make the experience extra special. Really appreciated it!

Karen
We chose this hotel as a last-minute booking during Cornell's graduation. I was very impressed with the staff - everyone was friendly & greeted us when passing in the hallways & the front desk ladies were amazing! The room was very spacious & the bed was very comfortable. The hotel offered a lot of features we didn't use but I was impressed with the selection: indoor AND outdoor pools, fitness room, & several conference rooms. The outdoor pools were not ready yet as it was still too cold & rainy but we didn't have time to use those anyways. The restaurant offered a free hot breakfast & they were replenishing the offerings right up to the ending time. Most places would have been letting stuff run out way before then.
I really appreciated all the extra touches they offered such as selling flower bouquets in the lobby for grads & a bag of water/snacks in the room. I was very surprised by the graduation stuffed bear as well. That was so thoughtful!!
Unfortunately, the hotel does lack in areas of decor. The walls need to be cleaned & painted, the windows were filthy, and the restaurant/bar area looked right out of the 1970s. The walls were peeling & the ceilings had water damage. The bathroom countertops were very outdated & ours had several chips/cracks. We left the empty tissue box out & the cleaning person did not replenish them.
I feel the hotel has lots of nice offerings & that modernization would make a huge difference.

The hotel was ok for the price. We didn’t like that the building was accessible without keycards, as in anyone could just walk into any of the several doors. Breakfast was surprisingly great. Our kids loved the pool. The showers had great pressure and were clean. The room smelled pretty bad, like it was previously a smoking room. Front desk person was super friendly and helpful.
Leonor
Was clean , the parking lot is safety and good breakfast
Michelle
The hotel was great! Staff was friendly. The hot buffet breakfast was awesome! And as a bonus, they left some snacks & water in our room. They also gave me a little gift for my son’s graduation. I would definitely go back!!
John
Helpful staff and very accommodating. Large breakfast area and fair choices.plenty of parking spaces.
Wesam
Will definitely consider staying there again
Beverley
We stayed at Cayuga Blu hotel for my son's graduation from Ithaca College. Staff made the entire experience for us so special. They left a toy bear in graduation attire in each room we booked and allowed us to use a small party room for free to celebrate after graduation. The room fit 12 people. We were a group of 7 so it was perfect. Management let me decorate the party room in the early morning so when we came back from graduation everything was ready.
Donald

Elvin
We had several issues. We arrived Friday afternoon for my nephew's graduation. His parents arrived approximately 1:30 am Friday morning and was given Room 210. Upon arrival, we were given Room 212 and my son was given Room 211across from us.
Entered Room 212, there was an odd odor, water marks on ceiling and some areas on wall. Toilet seat was peeling and walls dirty. The bathtub appeared to be recently renovated. However, the showerhead was recently replaced and mold from old showerhead.
Room 211 was disgusting. behind bed water marks on wall and several areas on ceiling. bathroom was simply dirty. A horrible odor in the room. He told the front desk and Allelujay changed the room to Room 214. Again, same issues and bathroom tub was deplorable. My son took a pic, showed to Sean who had just come on duty. He was very accommodating and changed to Room 208. At that point, we were running late for graduation, rushed off.
Once we returned, spoke with Sean, he apologized, and told us tomorrow morning, John, the assistant manager will be there when we checked out.
I spoke with John and he said the manager Kim will be there on Tuesday and they were having a big meeting and our issues will be discussed. He promised I will hear from him. When booked, only business rooms were available
Issue-- I was charged for a \"Business Room\" and John said he had never heard of the hotel having a business room. My wife and I have severe allergies. All we wanted was a good night sleep

Everything was clean the way it should be.

Room was clean, but could use some updating. Sandy at the front desk was amazing when we checked in. Breakfast was great, especially for it to be complimentary. The restaurant area had a great ambience to it. Very old times! There was plenty of parking in the front, sides and back of the building. I didn’t like how you didn’t need your card to open the side and back doors. But the area seemed pleasantly safe.

It was great & close to my venue ..Would stay there again in the future ..P.S loved the pressure of water in the shower ..
Kimberly
Blast from the past. Everything was dated. Poor internet and cell connection from the room. No airport shuttle.
