"aa"

La Tourelle Inn & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with large rooms and bathrooms. The staff is very good. The room was clean and had nice features like a fireplace and balcony. It is very close to downtown Ithaca but you feel secluded. The property is also nice with a small pond and access to the trail leading to buttermilk falls. Would highly recommend"

Overall nice stay and close driving to dinner and college campus. Beautiful location and close to buttermilk falls!"
