We had a quick one night stay at La Tourelle while visiting our daughter at near by Ithaca College. It's hard to find a hotel or B & B in that town while schools are in session, especially one that would take us for only one night. The greeting was warm. The front desk person insisted on helping with our... more

My wife and I stayed here for a night in August. It is not as it is presented by the hotel/spa. For example, the area by the spa (carpet) smelled awful and it is missing all the touches of a first class place. It was pouring rain and there was no valet or anyone in sight to help us with... more

If this is the best place to stay in Ithaca you should try nearby communities. While the stay wasn't horrible the room was old and worn and the bathroom was not cleaned very well. The bed was covered by a lumpy feather mattress. The window was broken and the shower did not work (to their credit they did get it... more

We looked for a weekend away and found LaTourelle online. We were able to book a fireplace king room online. The pictures on the website seem representative of the room, which had a plush king bed, gas fireplace and bath with one person jacuzzi tub, double marble sink and bookcase design. The balcony which contained one plastic chair and one... more

Stay here! This was one of our best hotel experiences to date! My husband and I stayed at La Tourelle for 4 nights in August 2005 when we moved our daughter to Cornell. It was perfect in every way.

We both have high stress jobs and needed a weekend of... more

While my wife and I had a nice stay at La Tourelle over the July 4th weekend, I agree with some of the previous negative reviews, the staff needs to pay closer attention to detail if they want to be a first class hotel/spa. Pros: Nice very clean room with a fireplace, extremely comfortable bed, close to downtown Ithaca restaurants,... more

My friend and I had a wonderful spa weekend at La Tourelle. The room we stayed in was in the original part of the hotel and was absolutely beautiful--and large. Two double beds and lovely, unique furniture. The beds had a feather bed as well as a down comfortable and was very luxurious. The little cafe served delicious breakfasts and... more

My husband and i spent the weekend at LaTourelle Resort and Spa. It was a wonderfully relaxing time. The service was excellent and the spa August Moon was exceptional. We would recommend this place highly! more
