The breakfast was excellent and the afternoon treats was also excellent. The staff was friendly. The room (the Sanctuary) was wonderful and spa tub was a real bonus after a hard days hike.

This is a very lovely, historical building. Our room was very spacious and had a whirlpool soaking tub in the bathroom, which my wife enjoyed each evening. The homemade snacks each night were delicious, and the breakfasts were amazing (and large)! The parking arrangements that weekend were a little strange because of the street construction project, but it all worked out fine.

Polyester sheets is a deal breaker!

Everything was super (delicious food, clean room, great architectural detail and furnishings, etc). The major reason I did not give this stay an "excellent" review is POLYESTER sheets!!! I mean, WHY? The sheets were terrible, they sleep super hot (especially in summer). It was befuddling to find this kind of lack of quality in what seems a reputable establishment. The towels were 100% Egyptian cotton, but the sheets were 100% polyester made in China. It is a bed & breakfast after all, and the "bed" was not the best quality because of the sheets. Additionally, there were some minor issues, like not enough parking spots to accommodate all the guests if the place is full. One would have to park on the street then. Similarly, the number of tables were smaller than the number of parties, so if it happens that everyone wants their breakfast at about the same time, some people would have to wait until somebody else is finished. We were not in a rush most of the time, so it was fine with us. But others might have found this super inconvenient.

A charming Victorian setting in the heart of Ithaca with friendly staff. Especially fun for those who love the antique grandeur of 19th century homes, but with modern showers and air conditioning.

Fabulous stay, my daughter and I were sad to leave even though we were headed to the beach from the Inn. Friendly inn keepers and cooks. Yummy breakfasts and a cozy room. We stayed in The Library. All in all a perfectly enchanting place! I am hoping to visit Ithica every season and if I do I will stay at this Inn.

Ideal location, excellent breakfast, in the heart of downtown. Our TV lost the signal the last day of our trip and could not be fixed before we left, but we were given a credit on our bill. Would definitely stay there again next time were visit Ithaca.
