Argos Inn - Ithaca's Boutique Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were all very friendly. We appreciated the coffee area where there was also a big table to have your own food at. The bar has some events on that were cool (and didn't go on to late). The room was nicely decorated and spacious.

We had room 101, which is fully accessible so right by the entrance. It is great that that is possible but for us it was a downside because it meant that people passed a lot and the windows went out onto the terrace where people sat and had drinks so we had the curtains closed a lot. Not a big deal but also not great for what the room cost.

Very comfortable hotel. It's better than expected. Large room, proper blinds, good noise isolation. The bar serves lovely cocktails also outside on the patio. The location is nice. All bars and restaurants are at walking distance. There is plenty of parking space on the property. Very friendly staff members.

It would have been nice if the hotel had served breakfast as well. There are a few suggestions: the pillows were quite stiff, maybe add softer ones. While using the shower, a lot of water enters the rest of the bathroom. There is no proper divider.

Extremely charming decor- off the charts really- delighted me and even thrilled me. From the Victorian-meets slightly steampunk-imaginary 1880s luxe explorer vibe in the gracious cocktail lounge- to the high ceilings, mahogany stairs and marbly bath- I never wanted to leave.

If you want to retire early there’s still some tasteful low level music gently wafting upstairs until 10 pm.. really not a problem. It would be nice if they had some fruit or something to add to the free coffee bar . Maybe another snack or something to sell with the cocktails.

The Argos Inn has been beautifully and thoughtfully modernized in a prime position just on the outskirts of central Ithaca, with easy access to everything this vibrant college town has to offer. What sets it apart is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the downstairs pub and its relaxed, convivial atmosphere and the tranquility of its immediate surrounds. Reserved parking for guests is a big plus, as is the super espresso machine, tea and coffee always available on the entrance floor. We felt really at home and would come back in a heartbeat!

Traffic noise can be bothersome at times especially since cars and buses really speed down East State St into E Seneca St (actually this seems to be becoming a problem for the entire town) but there's nothing the Inn can do about this. High-spirited customers leaving the Argos Warehouse for the parking lot can also be disturbing and perhaps this is something the Inn can try to curb.

Beautiful room with character, perfect location for us—just a few minutes from everything we wanted to do in Ithaca. There’s a wonderful bar downstairs and when we arrived there was a live jazz combo playing holiday tunes (never fear, live music doesn’t go late enough to disturb guests). Another plus, the shower was great and the bathroom floor was heated.

There wasn’t really anything we disliked. There was a bit of a wait to check in, but it was just that we didn’t realize at first that there was a number to call or text (and the bar waitress I asked didn’t tell us that).

The real treat for me was the staff. My taxi was very late and one lovely lady on staff even suggested she might drive me to the airport if the cab did not come in the next few minutes. That was lovely. (The cab did show up but her offer was kind). All the staff were good. The availability of a Jura Coffee machine 24/7 is terrific. The whole feel of the place is understated and classy. The location is superb - close to town and Cornell. The surrounding autumn leaves were superb

Our Cornell grad student recommended Argos from her visits to its lively bar. The location was very convenient to her apartment and the Ithaca Commons businesses. Overnight guests have dedicated parking spaces in the Argos lot. We took frequent advantage of the excellent espresso machine. The design and decor (both interior and exterior) is charming. Loved the large, bright and airy bathroom. I’ve stayed in two upscale modern hotels in Ithaca but really enjoyed Argos!

The bed size was the smallest queen I’ve slept on in decades. Noise from busy State Street and bar patrons was as expected (fair warning!)

The room was clean and spacious. It was well furnished with victorian style furniture and draperies. The bed was comfortable and provided a good night's sleep after a long drive from Canada! The washroom looked renovated recently, and my spouse and I liked it better than other branded accommodations in the area.

The Inn is in the old building and has no elevator. My spouse and I found it difficult to navigate the spiral staircase. However, the receptionist on duty was very kind to carry our luggage to the room.

The space was so beautiful and like a cozy BNB but with the cleanliness and space of a hotel. The staff were not overly friendly but still very friendly and gave great service. They were very communicative and I felt that they knew we were coming and were prepared for our arrival. Within walking distance of the downtown commons and restaurants and they have a great cocktails and seating to lounge. Overall a great experience!

I think there could be more offerings for breakfast for the amount paid per night

Argos Inn is a gorgeous and cozy way to visit Ithaca. The bed was super comfortable and the room was beautiful well equipped with everything we needed. The guest coffee station made our mornings and the hotel bar was chic and so convenient for our evenings. The heated bathroom floor and perfect shower water pressure was pretty awesome too! The staff was friendly and accommodating- we wanted for nothing.
