Don’t let the exterior detour you.
If your looking for a comfortable and clean place to lay your head, this it! So budget friendly and all of the staff is so attentive. Even with my daughter’s food allergies.

We will definitely stay here again for our next Cornell visit.

Thank you for a restful stay!

The bed was comfortable but the room was run down…holes in the carpet, rippling wallpaper, water damage on walls. I would be very afraid to use a black light in there. The breakfast was ok since it had waffles but the fruit on the first day tasted like it was fermenting. The other breakfast breads were old and stale. There was milk, tea, coffee and juice which was nice. It worked out for us but we will not be going back.

We booked this hotel last minute because of the price and location. Since we were last minute and Saturday night, other hotels were easily double the price.
The hotel gave me the impression we were in a movie set in the 80’s. It felt like that period might have been it’s heyday. It is very big and looked empty probably because it’s so big but all the rooms around us were filled. Our bathroom was renovated but the shower head wasn’t working properly. The bed was comfortable and I slept well until the surrounding doors started opening and closing at 6am. They are made of metal and loud. The breakfast area was also an incredible trip as the setting was very retro. The breakfast was good with fruit salad and even had oat milk. The staff was friendly and helpful.
I think this hotel is good for short stays and sound sleepers.

Pleasant, clean, and the amenities were a nice surprise, particularly the indoor and outdoor pools. Breakfast was better than what you find at some of the chain hotels as they actually have items like freshly cooked eggs, home fries, sausage and french toast. The place is a bit outdated but if you’re willing to look past that, it’s a nice option for a stay in Ithaca.

The wall paper was peeling off the wall and there were rust stains in the sink - also noticed that all the door were in need of a touch up - the numbers were taken off all the doors but no one touched up the stain. General lack of maintenance, didn't feel worth the $400/night stay. The fitness room was a ill equipped with all machines and very small.

It was disgusting, the room smelled of old cigarettes, one of the beds had black stuff on it, there was a dead bug on the floor, the toilet barely flushed. We literally opened the door, walked in looked around and my daughter asked if she could use the bathroom before we left. In the 2 minutes we were in there i couldnt breathe. I would recommend you find another hotel, any other hotel.

From the outside, this looks like a somewhat dated average hotel. Inside, the reception area is underwhelming and adequate. The staff were friendly, but disempowered to affect a change when it was needed. There was an unattended dog in one of the rooms and in the two nights we were there they were not able to get the owners to address the issue of his ongoing barking. The facilities have a somewhat rundown, aging appearance. The room is fairly standard although the two beds are not queen size they are double beds. The bathroom in the first room we tried to stay in was not cleaned properly. The breakfast buffet was quite nice, definitely better than average for included breakfast buffets at hotels like this. There was a broken window on a door to our building gave off a bad vibe. The workout equipment was in disrepair, and they were aware of that, but had not addressed it. And of course, we were there on a family weekend for the local college so prices were premium.

I stayed at this hotel during my visit for the Cornell campus tour. The location is great — there’s a grocery store right in front and it’s very convenient to get to the university. However, the building seems quite old, and the bathroom water doesn’t drain well. It’s a very classic place, to say the least.

Affordable basic hotel in convenient location

Start with the positives- friendly staff at check in. Helpful, quick and welcoming. Snacks and water in room as a welcome. Room well appointed. Beds comfortable. Room had a safe and fridge. Bathroom didn’t have a fan and needed updating. A few towels had stains and the shower curtain was deteriorating. Stains on the bedding but it was immediately remedied once brought to housekeeping attention. Easy parking, great location for college visits. None of outside doors lock so a bit of a safety issue. Additionally there was trash and construction debris outside. Hotel is in dire need of a sprucing up. Wallpaper peeling, stained and torn carpet and shattered glass in the door. Breakfast was amazing and staff ran it well.

The only thing I noticed is that it seems like anyone could enter through the side entrances. There are cameras around, and I didn’t notice any issues, but coming from NYC, that stood out to me a bit. Otherwise, the place had all the accommodations you’d need, and the welcome gift bag was such a thoughtful touch! I would definitely stay here again.

Cayuga Blu is a serviceable hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms are in 4 units which are not connected, forcing you to walk outside between units and take a walk through an outside courtyard to reach the front unit which houses breakfast. This was a surprise on a rainy day, and I might not enjoy this in winter! The units seem to be open to public access since keys were not required fof the outer doors. Breakfast was good.
