The Inn on Columbia was fantastic. We stayed two evenings in this centrally located property in Ithaca. This was our first trip to Ithaca, Ken and Madeline were amazingly helpful. The breakfast is nothing short of phenomenal! All of the guests we met were very friendly and made for interesting morning conversations. The Inn is very comfortable, clean and you are made to feel welcome at all times.
