We had an enjoyable 3-night stay at Argos Inn for a weekend wedding. The Inn is a beautifully restored private home that feels quite gracious. Our room (the sunny room on the 2d floor) was spacious, well-appointed, and delightful. The cocktail bar/lounge was lively and comfortable, with a great cocktail menu. The 10:00pm closing time is solicitous of guests' need for nighttime quiet, although guests who need an earlier bedtime may need white noise. All the staff -- front desk, bar/lounge -- were knowledgeable and helpful.

Argos Inn is a beautifully restored historic building in downtown Ithaca, just steps from the Commons and offering ample parking—a big plus in this area. Our room was adequately furnished with clean linens, bottled filtered water, a heated bathroom floor, a charming writing desk, elegant chairs, hair dryer, drawers, and hangers (though no closet).The ground-floor bar was a pleasant surprise and a great spot to unwind after a busy day. However, the included breakfast was underwhelming—limited to coffee from a high-end machine, tea, biscotti, and oranges—so we opted to go out for a proper meal.In my view, a warm smile goes a long way in hospitality, but this seemed to be missing here, as well as in much of Ithaca. Overall, Argos Inn offers a unique historic setting and decent amenities, but there’s room for improvement in service and breakfast.

We enjoyed the accommodations. The staff was friendly and helpful. The proximity to the commons downtown was convenient. The rooms were very comfortable and enjoyable to be in.

Excellent: Location, check-in, atmosphere, cleanliness, service.Very Good: Room and amenities... and I think value.OK: Bathroom. Bathroom had a drain the was supposed to be for the entire bathroom but didn't really work. The shower partition was too short and the entire floor ended up completely wet. Not very nice when using the toilet at night, etc.

The Argos Inn was a big disappointment, as was the town of Ithaca. The man that greeted us at check-in had no sense of hospitality and seemed totally blasé; that put a damper on our stay. The room, vastly overpriced, was small and noisy, due to the loud patrons from the downstairs bar and the lack of soundproofing. Overall, the inn lacks charm and character, and has zero amenities. It parallels the center of the town unfortunately and a sense of urban decay floats in the air. Don't waste your time and money...
