Top South Side Hotel Reviews

Meadow Court Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was a great value. The property has seen a lot of traffic but it is clean, safe, the staff helpful and I slept like a baby. Local apples in the morning a great touch!"

The Dorm Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and as advertised, leaning heavily into the dorm aesthetic. However, they were definitely on the small side with limited in-room amenities and small bathrooms. The beds were elevated which would make it difficult for someone with mobility issues, although they provide a step stool to get in. Common space in the lobby was nice, but definitely small and wouldn't really accommodate more than a handful of people, especially from separate parties. The lobby has a self-serve bar with wines and beers on tap, but about half of them were out of service / empty which limited the selection."

Budget Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazingly cheap hotel for Ithaca, and it was as good as if not better than hotels that charge double or more per night what this one does. The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. The beds were probably the best I've slept in in a long time, which came as quick a shock. And the blankets and pillows were also fantastic. I literally had the best sleep that I've had in a while. It was so unexpected. The hotel is also very conveniently located near shopping and restaurants, as well as Cornell University. It is a little old and could do with a little updating, particularly the bathroom (some of the enamel had worn off on the sink), but overall, I'm convinced this is the best deal in Ithaca. I've heard that it's soon to undergo major renovations and become a Marriott, which is really unfortunate since I expect quality to go down and price to skyrocket. I hope they keep the staff, as they were extremely helpful."
