I loved everything about La Tourelle! The location, the natural surroundings, the incredibly kind and thoughtful staff, the beautiful decor, the water stations so I didn't have to use plastic water bottles, the super comfortable mattress and bedding, the incredible array of interesting books in the room, the jetted tub, the balcony from which I could see a lovely pond and the gorgeous trees on the outskirts of the property...all of it was absolutely perfect! Big shout out to Jessica, working the front desk, she was so wonderful ~ kind, efficient, compassionate. Jessica, you're awesome! If I ever find myself in Ithaca, NY again, I will absolutely go back to La Tourelle!

This was a wonderful property and location for my solo getaway. I enjoyed the grounds with the gazebos and easy trail access. The staff was friendly, although some seemed to be new and a bit inexperienced. Overall I had a wonderful time and would recommend to future travelers!

We stayed at La Tourelle while visiting Cornell University. We had a busy schedule, so we did not use many of the hotel amenities, but overall we were very pleased with our stay. Staff were friendly and helpful; we arrived very late to the property (after 3am) and there was still staff there to greet us and get us checked in. Our room was very clean and spacious and had a nice view of the grounds. Would definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

The room was extremely loud, near an ice machine that sounded like an avalanche everyday at 6AM. Couldn't get much rest. Paper thin walls unfortunately. The "bistro" is closed, has been for a year, which I wish I knew prior to booking. There is just an onsite small bar with a limited menu of snack-like appetizers. The spa was impossible to reach, they finally got back to me after my trip was over and I was back home. There is no pool nor jacuzzi. The picture of people sitting around a pond in adarondak chairs on their website is very misleading, this was a murky pond overgrown with brush and no adaronacks. The campfires and smores are actually part of a nearby hotel, not La Tourelle, so when we went they had to decline us because they didn't have enough supplies to feed both us and their guests. The wifi is horrendous with no option to upgrade. The towel rack to hang your towels in my rooms was directly over the toilet, yuck. Lastly a pipe burst while we were there, closing the spa completely and filling the entire floor with the smell of feces. We eventually left a night early due to all of this discomfort and when doing so the manager was very defensive and not once expressed any empathy. The sign and all branding says, "Hotel - Bistro - Spa" which during my stay was true, lie, and then closed without communication or accomodation. She said it was my fault for not booking with the spa weeks prior to my vacation. I don't think that's acceptable.

Excellent stay and experience.

I have been a frequent visitor of Ithaca lately as I adopted a dog with a multitude of medical issues and he goes to Cornell for treatment. I wish I had stayed here every visit. However, given that I stayed in 5 other hotels in the area I can pretty confidently say that LaTourelle is one of the best. From the staff to the people that stay there it was a fantastic experience. They more than accommodated Gandalf and I - they welcomed us and fussed over him. The spa is also a wonderful luxury, a not to be missed experience. There are also hotel activities. I can’t say enough. Would recommend to anyone.
Campground grills, picnic tables, food tent
Gandalf very excited about his stay.

Outside is 5 stars and staff is amazing. But dead bugs in our room, furniture scuffed, weird hole in ceiling where fire sprinkler looks like it was installed by a bear. And the breakfast buffet was pretty gross AND ran out of coffee. No coffee pots in the rooms?! Crazy. Food at bar was stellar though, as was front desk service. Lots of weird cobteasts there. Grounds were gorgeous.

We loved staying at La Tourelle! We found the entire resort to be very charming. The staff was very friendly and welcoming too. We also used the spa facilities for treatments and relaxation. It was so nice to have this available. There were also nice touches like coffee all day in the beautiful lobby, and a lounge. There were also many places that were walkable to visit or sit with a glass of wine. We also felt that the value for the cost was excellent. We highly recommend staying at La Tourelle and hope to return soon.
