As an alumna of Ithaca College, I like to return to Ithaca often. The Inn on Columbia is my go-to…read moreplace to stay, and, when my niece also enrolled at IC, it became the go-to spot for my brother's family, too. The Inn is a unique collection of houses and rooms close to downtown Ithaca - walking distance! Upon arriving, I'm greeted by hosts Madeline and Kenn--and the most amazing smells from Madeline's kitchen! Between the local apple cider and the amazing breakfasts, I tell myself calories don't count at the Inn. Some things to note: -Kenn is an architect, see if you can get him to talk about the history of building the inn -The Inn is dog friendly!! -Snag the gazebo is you're wanting some privacy -Bring hiking boots and explore the nearby trails -Book early... there might be times you can be spontaneous, but for big weekends (alumni/reunion, commencement), the rooms book up WAY in advance

As good as it gets! The owners, Ken and Madeline were such wonderful hosts and very resourceful…read more Madeline prepares the daily breakfasts, which were so delicious and nutritious (e.g. waffles, frittatas, homemade granola, fruit, etc.). Breakfast offerings change daily and she uses the freshest ingredients; I'm super picky and every option sounded scrumptious. It was hard to choose just one! HIGHLY recommend the Gazebo room; it is a standalone room situated towards the back of the property and is very private and romantic. The decor is simple, yet elegant. It includes an oversized jet tub, spacious bedroom and bathroom and mini fridge. There is also a fireplace in the room and is stocked with lavender toiletries. My boyfriend and I appreciated the attention to detail in this room. We will absolutely be back! Madeline and Ken were happy to recommend activities and restaurants as well. There is a lot to do in the area and I cannot wait to visit in the fall. Parking off-street, wi-fi, delicious cookies and juice served in the evenings, beautiful grounds and the list goes on. You will NOT be disappointed with this lovely bed and breakfast.

Beautiful historic home in walking distance to The Commons downtown business area in Ithaca…read more Delicious homemade breakfast included. Common areas well appointed and clean. Now for suggested improvements. Remove room air conditioners to decrease street noise in non-summer months, open the front entrance to the house rather than the side door and provide at least a part time innkeeper presence. Although the owner is available by phone and very responsive, the place misses the friendly and informative presence of an onsite innkeeper.

Wonderful bar for drinks…read more I like the quieter and calmer atmosphere as well as the soft lighting. The interior decor is very cosy and slightly eclectic. I came with a friend on a weekday evening and it was pretty empty which was nice. We tried the ruby slipper, braulio sour, and the mango lassi. The mango lassi is incredible! One of my favorite drinks I have had! THe ruby slipper and braulio sour were also quite tasty but I preferred the ruby slipper a tad more. Overall, I would recommend Argos Inn and now definitely need to try Argos Warehouse soon!

Leslie was so friendly and helpful, and the care she puts into making her guests comfortable is unparalleled.

We also took advantage of the picnic lunch for our day at Seneca Falls - we left with full bellies and fond memories of our stay. We can't recommend Besemer Station enough!

It was actually the highlight of the Ithaca portion of our trip, even more than the four or five wineries where we stopped for tastings. The place isn't exactly in the middle of nowhere but once you pull into the driveway of the home you'll feel a million miles away from the rest of the world. The farm setting and the eclectic art throughout the home make this a really interesting place to stay. Highly recommended.

I come up here every few years to visit family, so having a hotel so close to everyone and at a good price is very important to me. The service is always good! The continental breakfast was decent, but the service of the older lady working the dining area was the icing on the cake! I can't remember her name, but she worked there for over 20 years when I was last there (2020). I hope she's well!

Perhaps it's because of their location and trying to attract business. Unless you have to be downtown, this may work for you but if not look outside the area. And travelers please do not smoke or vape in hotels. It's very unpleasant for the next guest and the associates that try clean the room and mask your stench that sticks to everything after you leave. HGI Corning is not far and was really nice. Not sure if it's the brand but the beds need changing as they tend to squeak which we experienced at both properties but Corning was a better stay and cute one main street town.
