Argos Inn - Ithaca's Boutique Hotel

This is my favorite place in Ithaca. The bar downstairs is so cool and it’s such a fun place to hang and meet people. I love the character that the owner maintained throughout the entire building. If you have a minute, just look at the antiques that are displayed and pay attention to the beautiful plants, which are giants, in the solarium. The room we stayed in was unique and exactly as pictured. Again, beautiful with so many unique touches that just make you feel so comfortable. The staff is also top-notch. So friendly, professional, and responsive. Just the best place to stay!!!!

Great setting and staff. Inn is tastefully kitschy and creatively decorated and maintained. Staff super helpful and friendly. Bar area is fun as well! Minutes away walking from the pedestrian mall with restaurants and shopping - we'll be back!

This is a beautifully restored Victorian house, conveniently located on the main street from Cornell campus and Collegetown, and a block from the Ithaca Commons. Restaurants and shops are walkable. The reception is warm and helpful. My room and bathroom were beautifully decorated although the sink is in the bedroom. There is a delightful common room with an espresso machine, oranges and applies, and small cookie snacks free and available at most hours. A hopping bar scene although I did not join in. Some nice lounging nooks. My room could have used better lighting, there was a black hole over the one table where one would want to use a computer. The nice front desk clerk brought a tiny one in for me which proved not much help. There is no closet nor bureau in the room to put clothing away. A very insufficient suit hanger with bar allows you to hang 3 or 4 jackets or shirts. Finally, while there is a cozy antique armchair, there lacks a good comfortable chair to pull up to the table. Instead, there is a grossly uncomfortable and insufficient wood folding chair. Investing a few hundred dollars would go a great way to removing some of these discomforts. Overall, a lovely inn with very courteous and helpful staff.

If you are looking for a unique place to stay in a unique city, then the Argos Inn is the place to stay. This was our second stay here and we were not disappointed despite the rain. A friendly welcome, dedicated staff, comfortable common rooms and full bar are just the beginning. The rooms live up to their descriptions--we have seen several and we are making plans to visit again. Special shout out to Rae. Not only did she respond to our every need but went beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. The Inn's manager was also accommodating. We enjoyed the Jazz trio from the upstairs common area and the coffee and Capuchino machine in the front snack room/sunroom.

An excellent hotel—impeccably polite and personable staff, nicely decorated and outfitted, conveniently located to downtown, and excellent coffee on demand. What more could one ask for from a boutique hotel? It is worth its cost by any estimation, I believe.

This was a lovely place to stay, we will try to return later this week!! The staff (including bartenders) were friendly and welcoming, we felt at home from the moment we stepped in. The room was comfy, heated floor in the bathroom and an awesome coffee maker!

Absolutely beautiful inn and rooms. Each detail was clearly thoughtfully executed to create an overall space that is warm, inviting and totally unique. Books and art are everywhere. Staff is incredible. We spent the evening at the bar which was bustling with a cool energy, and we brought dinner in to eat at the long table in the sun room because why would you want leave Argos?

I loved this beautiful inn in the heart of Ithaca and all the staff were very nice and responsive people.

We have stayed at the stylish, elegant and comfortable Argos Inn a number of times, and in several different rooms, and it is always a treat!
