What a great experience. My one night stay at the Statler Hotel was 5 star! The room was clean, pleasant and comfortable. The shower was nice and hot with good water pressure. The food and staff at the Taverna Banfi was exceptional. I would go back and would highly recommend this hotel.

Fabulous stay at the Statler on Cornell Campus! Loved our room which had an amazing view of campus facing the tower. Drinks and bar snacks at the regent lounge were fabulous. Gets busy at the bar as the night goes on. We had a family lunch on Saturday at Taverna Banfi which was great AND Brunch at Taverna Banfi was delicious! Disabled parking across the way from the hotel driveway.

The rooms are very comfortable and well-designed. The views from the room windows are truly stunning. The buffet breakfast is quite limited, offering the same options every day with minimal variety. There are no cold cuts, a limited selection of fruits, and insufficient cheese options. The variety of breads and pastries is lacking, and the overall quality falls short of expectations.

Overall great stay! First visit to Cornell to drop off my niece. Top notch accommodations, dining and customer service. Can't beat the location on campus! Flexible on cancellation which was a priority due to winter driving conditions. Student run, BRAVO!!

We visited the Statler Hotel on Cornell's campus on a snowy Thanksgiving weekend on a trip to Ithaca. It served as our home base as we toured the Cornell campus and the town. This is a unique hotel associated with the hospitality program at the university. Service throughout was friendly and efficient. The entrance to the hotel felt kind of awkwardly placed on campus, and parking costs the same whether you use the valets or self-park - so we used the valets, as the guys doing the parking seemed eager to earn some tips on a quiet night. The hotel manager dropped off a desert at our suite on the first night, which was delicious. We had the top floor Tower Suite, which we were informed was the best available room - and it had a comfortable living room space with wrap around windows, a dining space, and the bedroom area. The view was of the heart of Cornell's campus, looking north toward the gorge. The bathroom was nice - with a large pleasant shower with multiple shower heads and plenty of water pressure. The views looked out on the main Cornell campus. The hotel itself had several dining options - we had the breakfast buffet we got with the room both mornings and it was very good. Through the basement tunnels, you can also access a student-centric little food place with pizza by the slice and similar food. Pizza was decent, but wouldnt win awards. On the negative side, the hotel itself looks like something generically adn cheaply built in the 80's. There's not much history or character inside or out. Our room, while nice, was maybe a bit small for being the best available suite. Taking everything together, it felt a bit over-priced for the experience.

I spent the night at this hotel for a conference I was attending on-site. All staff were very friendly, check in was quick and the rooms were clean and spacious. Food at the bar was wonderful and the staff were helpful. It is a little pricey, but you are paying for good quality service and food. Location was wonderful for any Cornell event. Valet was affordable and the people working there were friendly, never took more than 10 minutes to get my car. Definitely recommend!

I use a wheelchair, so I’m writing this review from that perspective. The Statler is a training facility for the Cornell University hotel school. Students learn the ropes of hotel management by working in a variety of positions from valet parking, front desk, in the restaurants. As such, service is somewhat uneven, if enthusiastic, but that’s understandable. Because of my disability, travel presents many problems. I can only walk short distances; it’s difficult for me to rise from a chair, bed, or toilet; and I’m in a fair amount of pain. I have to plan very carefully. My nightmare is being stuck someplace, far from home, unable to function. There was an important conference at Cornell that I very much wanted to attend. The Statler website is very specific about accessibility. The width of doors, accessible pathways, and details of the shower are all set out. Somewhat confident that a hotel school would portray itself accurately and even be an exemplar for commercial accommodation, I booked the two-room accessible suite. The heights of chairs, toilets, and beds are important. Too low and it is difficult or impossible to rise from them. Too high and one can’t get on them. We were told that the bed in the accessible suite was 26½ inches high. That would have been doable for me. Unfortunately, as soon I walked into the bedroom, I knew there was a problem. The bed was at my hip height (I’m 5'6"), impossible for me to enter. I had to sleep on the sofa. That was less than ideal because it was rather low and I needed help rising from it. Fortunately, I was traveling with a companion. Because of my discomfort, I left a day earlier than planned. When I explained my situation to the front desk manager he waived the fee for an early check-out. Otherwise, the furniture in the suite was far enough apart so that I could get around in my chair and with my walker. That is something one cannot take for granted in an “accessible” room. The walk in/roll in shower was wonderful. Many hotels consider a shower to be accessible if there is a grab bar, but one still has to step into a tub, something I cannot do. My only complaint about the shower is that if one is sitting under it, one cannot reach the shampoo and body wash dispensers. That’s a common problem I anticipated by bringing my own. There are grab bars to the left of the toilet as one is seated. There is nothing to grab on the right, so if one has a weak left side, perhaps as a result of a stroke, accident, or Parkinson’s disease, one may not be able to use the toilet. I was meeting with colleagues and, for that reason, really appreciated having a sitting room. Two solid doors closed off the bedroom. That’s important for avoiding any hint of sexual harassment. However, the bathroom is only accessible through the bedroom, rather negating the isolation of the bed. My suite and the rest of the hotel were clean. The hotel is quiet, and very conveniently situated on the old campus. There are four places to eat within the hotel. My companion and I tried two of them. I have reviewed them separately. The food is excellent. Who knew there were gourmet restaurants on that university campus?

I came here last month to visit my youngest son at Cornell University after attending a conference in Columbus, Ohio. This is not my first coming to the hotel. My family and I stayed here every time we're here in Ithaca. I arrived almost after 11 pm. on Friday evening night and all the staff were very attentive and helpful. My room didn't have to view, which I didn't mind, and I already expected it because the hotel is packed that weekend because of an event going on at the hotel. The bed was comfortable, and the room was large enough.
