It is a beautiful hotel with a lot of character. The spa is a plus. Not much of a gym though: Minimum space and equipment. The Bistro -the hotel restaurant- has a really very small menu for breakfast with only regular coffee. When we were there they even had run out of milk. Didn’t stay for breakfast. After that not tempted to try lunch/dinner.

My experience was extremely disappointing. The room was clean, but everything is very very old. The air conditioning heating unit did not function properly and the control panel from so many years of use was not visible and appeared that someone had use an ink pen to access controls, I had to request maintenance service, which seem to annoy the front desk… I think this hotel needs major renovation and probably some management training. The maintenance fellow was excellent.

Comfortable, spacious but with limited dining
This is a lux hotel with an attached spa and restaurant, high in the hills overlooking Ithaca. The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. There was plenty of parking and we enjoyed our stay. The restaurant is only open on limited nights, and the restaurant is about 10 minutes drive from downtown. Also, breakfast availability on weekdays is quite meager. So, very comfortable and relaxing place to stay, but you might have to plan to go our for most or all of your meals.

The Tourelle hotel offers an oasis of peace and tranquillity for anyone looking to take a long weekend rest away from the bustling and stress of New York City. The gardens just outside the entrance are very beautifully conveived and very well kept and so is the grass. There are plenty of dining options but one obviously needs to have a car. Rooms are very spacious and so are the bathrooms. Staff are responsive, attentive, and available to give advice for activities (hiking etc.). Tea and coffee are available. Ithaca is beautiful although it may not always be sunny. I highly recommend La Tourelle for a weekend stay.
