On the outside it looks like your typical motel but I was blown away by how nice the rooms were. They were well maintained, updated, spacious, and met all of the needs we had for much cheaper than a comparable hotel. Cannot recommend this property enough!

This place was great. It's a 10 minute trip from downtown Ithaca, so it might be an issue if you're staying here without a car. If you do have a car, I would highly recommend staying here. Super clean and updated rooms at a great price. It might not look like much from the outside, but it's a great property and an excellent value.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. We are assuming the hotel was recently updated and it showed. Everything was clean, new, comfortable and the staff was very courteous and helpful. We will stay here again as we visit our daughter who lives in Ithaca. We had a great experience and recommed the Springwater Inn to others.

This motel is a gem on the outskirts of town. I’m very skeptical of any older roadside motel, but my room had been completely updated, was clean, well stocked with fresh towels, had a mini fridge and microwave and exceeded my expectations. In fact, having stayed at other better known chain hotels/motels in or closer to town, this was a much better stay, and the quiet off the beaten path quality was really a plus. The staff was super accommodating, booking a second night stay at a competitive price, and the simple breakfast offerings were all I needed. I will definitely stay here again.
