Top Sciencenter Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and great room, everything you could need."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ithaca by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff was friendly and welcoming! Light switches in room took some getting used to as one switch would affect multiple areas. Once we figured out the system, room was good. One disconcerting thing was the people hanging out in the parking lot at the lodge next door, smoking grass. They were there when we arrived, when we left for dinner and still there when we returned."
