Ithaca, New York, is more than the home of Cornell University and Ithaca College-it is a hub for extended business trips, academic stints, and longer family visits. Extended stay hotels in Ithaca are concentrated around the downtown Commons area and the routes to Cornell, offering practical setups like kitchenettes, in-room desks, and free Wi-Fi. The majority of these properties sit within 5 to 10 kilometers of Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, with shuttle services at select hotels. A week-long stay typically runs from $130 to $220 per night, depending on the brand and proximity to campus.
For travelers needing a home base for a month or more, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ithaca provides mini-fridges, microwaves, and a complimentary hot breakfast-a solid choice for budget-conscious professionals. The Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Ithaca adds a saline pool and a 24-hour fitness center, ideal for maintaining routines between meetings. If you prefer the center of it all, the Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons places you steps from restaurants, the State Theatre, and the Ithaca Farmers Market, while the Canopy by Hilton Ithaca Downtown offers free bicycles and an on-site bar-perfect for unwinding after work. Each property includes either free parking or a paid airport shuttle, so you can focus on the assignment, not logistics.
