“Very Pet Friendy”

The Inn @ City Lights

4 of 5 stars
Hamilton, Canada
Aug 7, 2007

We stayed two nights at the Inn this past weekend. Evan and Colleen (and Austin) are very nice and really make you feel at home. The B&B is best described as comfortable. It is in a good location to access Ithaca and the surrounding parks. Our two dogs absolutely loved romping through the mowed trails on their vast property. The breakfasts were great. We would definitely stay here again.

“A great B&B!”

The Inn @ City Lights

Aug 6, 2007

My wife and I just returned from a vacation in Ithaca, and I can not say enough good things about the Inn @ City Lights. Colleen and Evan were gracious and considerate hosts who went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable. They gave us great advice on fun things to do in the area. The room was comfortable and beautifully decorated, breakfasts were delicious, and lovely walking trails through meadows and woods were just a few steps away. Highly recommended!

We stayed three nights at the Inn at City Lights in June 2007 and had a wonderful time. Our rooms were spacious, well decorated, and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful -- coffee was hot and strong.

While the Inn sits on a hill overlooking farmland and Cornell in the distance, you're very close to downtown and all the fun things to do.

The owners, Colleen and Evan are a perfect blend of relaxed and professional; they are serious about hospitality and making sure you have a great stay. From the very first phone conversation with Colleen, we knew we had made the right choice. We recommend the Inn at City Lights without hesitation.

Comfortable, spacious and most accomodating for children (a rare find for B&B's). Breakfasts and company were great, too. Centrally located for nice long drives in wine territory, hiking trails and downtown shopping. An enjoyable experience!

We visited Ithaca for a weekend getaway in March, 2007. After some on-line investigation, we decided to stay at the Inn at City Lights. Let me tell you, the reviews here are spot on. Colleen and Evan were wonderful hosts... amazing breakfasts, clean and spacious accomodations, great conversation, and a very laid back and comfortable stay. It's truly amazing what they've done with this beautiful property. Don't leave without looking through their "before and after" pictures.

If you're planning a visit to Ithaca, do yourself a favor and look no further!!
