We reserved a "dog friendly" room at La Tourelle the night before, having just decided to take our two dogs on a road trip. The Statler does not welcome dogs, but La Tourelle does. This is a strange hotel -- with wooden African masks on room doors. The hotel felt very 1980's, and smelled good -- the smell reminded me... More

Stayed over the course of a weekend as part of a trip to Ithaca College. La Tourelle is extremely convenient to IC, and an easy ride into Downtown or over to Cornell. The location does place you outside of downtown, so if you want to take in the Commons and then have a place to crash close-by, this doesn't work,... More

My girlfriend and I decided to take advantage of the 'Happy Hour' held from 4-7PM on Tues - Thurs at the August Moon Spa with some pampering. We were warmly greeted as we entered the spa. We were given a quick tour and we were off to change for our treatments. We each elected to have the Taughannock Falls hot... More

This place is great! It must be reviewed as a bed and breakfast and not as a hotel. The staff have multiple responsibilities; check in, fireplace tender, wine server........ They are very patient and helpful.Their beautiful grounds are a few minutes from Cornell, where my daughter goes. The lobby a cozy place to relax and enjoy the fireplace and/or a... More

I stayed in one of their pet rooms, which was tiled and had its own patio. Everything down to the furniture and the most comfortable mattress and pillows I have ever slept on (afterward I bought a new mattress trying to get something as close to what they had as possible) was the best experience. I even loved the shampoo... More

The greatest feature of LaTourelle is the wonderful staff. From the minute you enter the property, you are surrounded by a warm and friendly atmosphere. You are treated like family. From Managing Director, Scott Wiggins to Leslie and her daughter, you are cared for and well treated. Perhaps the TV isn't the latest model and a few small amneties might... More

2nd visit to la tourelle -- the room was lovely and spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable, as usual. We were a little disappointed to find that while we had access to the spa facilities, it didn't open until 9 am, and the exercise area had been completely taken over by a yoga conference. It would have been nice... More

We needed a hotel for a night due to an event taking place at Cornell University, 4 miles away. My husband booked online, and we knew nothing about his "pick." Wow! This place was fabulous. From the entrance, with the wood burning fireplace,(so hard to find in Connecticut these days) to the complimentary happy hour with local vineyard wines, to... More

My wife and I stayed a night as a get away. We got a spa package and had a couples massage. The hotel was comfortable and the room with a gas fireplace was quite warm. A pleasant state in February in upstate New York. The staff was very helpful but they could be friendlier.

Stayed for two nights in December w/ my significant other and our two dogs. We loved the resort and will return. The dog-friendly rooms are fabulous, and the staff was friendly. They are eco-friendly which is appreciated, though having a steakhouse on premise is ironic. We enjoyed hiking the trails leading to the state park. Dinner at Moosewood is a... More
