We loved this sweet family run motel. It was clean with convenient parking. It was nice & quiet even though it was sold out! The staff (1 guy) was super nice. The continental breakfast was just fine. I definitely recommend this lovely motel.

Loved that this Inn was just outside the busier Ithaca area. Lots of green space to walk my dog! Friendly staff! Outside looks slightly tired, but inside was updated, comfortable and had everything needed. Good sized refrigerator was helpful. I will try to book here anytime I’m in this area.

8/10 Very good

Check-in was quick and easy, my room was very small (the bed took up most of the room), but completely adequate since I wasn't spending much time there. Best part was the well-lit, updated bathroom with a good amount of counter space.

The property was recently renovated and the rooms are a nice size and well appointed. The continental breakfast in the am is spare but everything was fresh and hit the spot. The owners ran the front desk and were kind and helpful when I needed to print a parking pass for our campus visit. I'd come back any time!

I chose this since my usual places weren't available. A pleasant surprise, both in price and location. Outside still looks bit older but inside brand new and clean. Well-working amenities. Heated mirror! Quality complimentary breakfast. I would come back.

Great little place just outside town. Don't let the modest appearance fool you - it's comfortable and clean and the staff are very friendly. Plus, it's pet friendly for a reasonable fee!

The place was well-cleaned and well-maintained! The staff were friendly, prompt, and helpful! It was pet-friendly for a small but reasonable additional fee ($35/night at time of review). You could tell it was a place that is being well-invested by the owners. They are not trying to just manage a cheap flip but genuinely seem to care in making a nice place for guests to stay! The continental breakfast was simple but useful. The location was also great! It was quiet but just outside of downtown Ithaca (10-minute drive). In addition, it was one of the more affordable options I found in the area! So, glad to have found Springwater Inn for my trip!

Great value motel. The building looks simple but the property is clean and well kept and the surrounding area feels safe and quiet. Location is relatively close to area attractions. Our room was updated and clean, bed was comfortable, pillows are great quality, sheets and towels fresh and clean, aircon/heater worked well. Bathroom was also updated and clean. The showerhead could be better but the water was warm and pressure was good. Breakfast was not much but definitely a plus for the price. We slept very well and would definitely stay here again. If you are looking for a place to spend a night or two and don’t want to break the bank this one is a great choice.
