Great stay. Very nice new renovations. Great staff. Very helpful and kind. Real continental breakfast with fresh bagels. Will stay here on my next visit to Ithica.
Comfortable, quick check-in/out, late-night check-in was nice, decent breakfast, overall clean. Would consider staying here again, especially since it was cheaper than most lodging in the Ithaca area.
The room was brand new. New carpeting - very clean - new bathrooms - refrigerator - microwave. The outside looks worn but the rooms are fresh and new. The new AC fan, however, was very loud. Additionally, the bedspread should be swapped out for a double sheet over a quilt. There were plenty of towels and built in soap - shampoo - conditioner and lotion bottles. Very nice owners.

I arrived really late and they were quite gracious.
I haven’t seen the surrounding area as it was dark when I arrived, but it all appears clean dnd welcoming.
Very quiet location. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean and the bed and pillows were super comfortable. I would recommend staying here and I definitely will be choosing this hotel again.
Love, love, love this cute little hotel in Ithaca!
This is a motel-style facility (drive up to your room) that has been completely renovated. The rooms are so beautifully decorated and clean. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms lovely. Each room has a fridge and microwave. It is in a somewhat rural area and so quiet with nice views from each room. Breakfast in the morning is simple but high quality.
It is run by a lovely family who are so kind and polite. It is far better than you usually get at this price point. This is a hidden gem, as the other reviews say. Definitely try it out!!
The room was very clean and newly updated. Included all the expected amenities, plus a few extras, a nice lighted mirror for example. We were very happy with everything and would definitely stay here again.

Our room was fine. Breakfast was minimal. The milk ran out, but it was replenished.
The room was perfect and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The only complain was the air conditioner was a wall unit and was loud and blew directly on you as you slept. Otherwise perfect!
Our stay at the Springwater Inn was excellent with clean and spacious rooms, friendly staff and the complimentary breakfast. The check in and check out process has been fast as well. Thank you for making our stay pleasant and enjoyable.
