Top Sciencenter Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Ithaca, NY

8/10 Good

"The front of the hotel needs brightened up ...our room was very clean..they had a great breakfast..furniture in rooms need update as ours was looking poor and the carpets needed scrubbed or just replaced. didnt like the drop off key box which gives you no interaction with the front desk as to how your night was and to get a receipt. even though it was worn out we would stay again."

"The room was very nice and the location was perfect for attending an event at the State Theater, for walking around the city and visiting the waterfalls. The only issue was the construction in front of the building. There wasn’t any place to pull up or park while checking in or out. There was parking provided in a garage nearby which was helpful."
