Summary: A fantastic place to stay! The Junior Suite with a separate entrance, kitchen, and dining area was the perfect place for me to work while my child visited Cornell. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and the staff is very friendly and accommodating!

Summary: Room was clean and staff was friendly. Loud mechanical noises at night came from the walls and made it hard to sleep. Good value for the price.

Summary: I booked a one-night stay at The Dorm Hotel for $300 and was placed in Room 108, which is directly adjacent to the front desk. Unfortunately, my experience was far from restful. I was repeatedly woken up by ringing phones, guests checking out, and loud conversations right outside my door. To make matters worse, reception knocked just five minutes before the 11 AM checkout to remind me of the 11 AM checkout time. When I checked out, I expressed my frustration that I hadn't been informed the room shared a wall with the front desk and was located next to the hospitality area (with coffee, tea, TV, etc.). The response I received was that the hotel is "boutique" and I had booked the last available room. However, it was clear that no other guests were exposed to the same level of noise and disruption. Despite the inconvenience, I was told no refund or compensation could be offered because I had booked through a third party (Hotels.com). I believe, at the very least, a voucher for a future stay should have been offered as a gesture of goodwill. To top it off, the front desk advised that “in the future,” I should call after booking to request not to be placed in a room next to the front desk—something that should not be the guest’s responsibility in the first place.

Summary: This is a budget friendly option in Downtown Ithaca. It's a convenient location, but does have some drawbacks like tight parking and small rooms. That said, it was clean and a good value compared to other hotels in the area.

Summary: Floor was dirty, had to call someone for help as they don’t man the front counter unless called. Bathroom dirt would not stay shut. Shower is small and placement of shower head you can’t escape spray to see anything. Shower also leaked onto bathroom floor. Cramped and no place to sit and few surfaces to place anything on. Bed remind me of stuffed mattress, very uncomfortable. You cannot control the temperature of your room, it’s all preset. Tv does not do CC. Cleaning performed outside of main floor rooms at bedtime. Very few instructions on how to utilize amenities in main room. Just overall more of a hassle and little privacy.
