La Tourelle Inn & Spa

This hotel is a gem. I love its traditional style rather than a modern basic style like every other hotel. That gave it a more unique experience for me. The staff was wonderful, but I want to give extra kudos to the lady at the front desk that works the afternoon/evening shift. I loved her personality, and she was always helpful and nice. I also love the location of this place. It feels so remote, yet it's so close to downtown and to Buttermilk Falls State Park. Our room also had an amazing view, especially during sunset. The room was comfortable and the beds, especially the pillows, were amazing. The bathroom was the biggest hotel bathroom I've ever seen and it felt luxurious. Everything was clean and cozy. I wish I had time to stay longer so I could have had time to check out the spa. If I'm ever back in this area, I will be staying here again.

Fantastic location and incredibly pleasant stay. Super comfy bed with a light comforter. Room was squeaky clean. A continental breakfast was only a few dollars each day and the dining area lovely. Not sure why this amazing place wasn't packed. Very quiet with fabulous views out the windows. And, bonus for sustainability - the windows open! So when the air cooled after dark you could have the windows open. We couldn't try the Bistro as it only opened Thursday through Sunday and we were there Monday through Thursday am. There is a spa on site. Such lovely and helpful staff and when we had a minor problem with the AC unit it was promptly fixed. We were offered a new room, but didn't feel we needed it. Location is a few minutes from Ithaca and the Finger Lakes are close. We were able to drive along Cayuga lake and then up to Geneva and around Seneca Lake, stopping several times for attractions and still made it back with plenty of time to relax. I saw several people with dogs at the hotel; kudos for allowing pets as we have often traveled with our dog or cats.

LOVED our stay. The room and hotel were gorgeous. The staff was exceptional. Loved the complimentary beverages with a generous pour, prompted me to buy a bottle of the excellent wine. Loved the delicious food at the Bistro. Loved the gorgeous grounds and the spaciousness of the room, and the books! The robes were cozy and the view was relaxing. Loved the proximity to Buttermilk Falls. Loved that the property was pet friendly, we enjoyed meeting some adorable dogs. The lobby was so cozy with a beautiful fireplace. Can't gush enough, and we will definitely be coming back!!!

We stayed in a king room with a fireplace. The room was beautiful, cozy, comfortable without feeling stuffy. Loved the fireplace in the room, the balcony, and the jetted tub. Even though the property was under construction, there was no debris or noise. Wouldn’t have even known if it wasn’t for the sign.

continental $7/person in lobby - cereal, bagels, toast, muffins, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt, juice, coffee, tea at hotel; also offered breakfast bigger, heartier options in their bistro. Great tea selections. Friendly, helpful staff! Delicious and wonderful bistro service!!! Awesome spa facility & staff!! Thanks Garth, Lila, & Sophia!!! Great access to buttermilk falls trail!
