I really want to love Argos. Truly a wonderful concept. Visited last year and had a lovely stay so decided to repeat it. It was noisy. Partially from thumping music from next door, possibly. Partially from an inconsiderate group of people who were having a very loud conversation outside after 1am that went on for about an hour. The next morning, while enjoying coffee in the sunroom, I heard the laugh that I heard in the very early morning from outside. Turns out that it was an employee. How disappointing . They should know better than to be that disruptive.

Stayed one night at Argos Inn during my first visit to Ithaca. Positives: very cool quirky decor in a historic building. The renovation was completed with high quality materials and thoughtful touches like the solarium self-serve coffee bar. Room was very clean! there is a lot with free parking. Negatives: I was assigned a room on the first floor, and it was extremely loud. This included bar noise during operation and dishwashing, guests in hallway, and all noise from guests beside and above me (coughing, walking, etc.) this is probably due to thin walls but also doesn’t help that the room door has a gap. Peacock room did not have a mini-fridge unfortunately. I would stay at Argos again, if guaranteed different room in a quieter location. I did relay this to the desk on checkout, and they recommend room 303 as the quietest.

The Argos was built during the civil and it feels historical from the street. The Inn is beautiful and the staff was very helpful. Danielle at the front desk was instrumental in helping us find some breakfast, lunch, and dinner options that were superb. She was always interested in what we had seen and done each day which made it feel like coming home. The backyard outdoor bar is amazing and the Wednesday Night Jazz Trio was excellent. They paired very well with the pizza that we purchased from the truck on site. Great hotel, a little quirky, but well worth the stay!

It's absolutely a hidden gem. The front desk employees are very friendly. The building is a beautiful historic building with high-end touches everywhere. The rooms are renovated and spacious. The beds are super comfortable. There is a very cozy bar on the premises. The beautiful breakfast room serves delicious coffee and snacks. Would love to return.

The hotel is cool! Artsy cool vibes which we loved. Service at the front desk was good but when we went to the bar on the rooftop it was HORRIBLE! The guy behind the bar looked like he didn't want to be there at all and couldn't even give a little smile. I waited to be served at my table which was dirtyand asked if it was possible to please have it cleaned and he replied that i could sit elsewhere because they were understaffed (which they clearly weren't) i had to go to the bar and ask for my drink because no one was serving us. I also had a hard time joining someone at the reception by phone.... took a bunch of tries to ask them about the air conditioning that wasn't working properly. I wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend.
