The Spotlight on The Springwater Inn

Affordable Comfort Just Outside Ithaca’s Buzz

Modern convenience meets small-town charm at The Springwater Inn, a no-frills, budget-friendly motel located just 5 miles from downtown Ithaca and a quick 3-minute drive from Cornell University. With cozy rooms, free Wi-Fi, and a peaceful setting, this spot is perfect for travelers looking to enjoy the city’s music scene without the downtown price tag.
Every room comes with a refrigerator, air conditioning, hair dryer, and ironing facilities—everything you need for a comfortable night’s rest.

Why Concert-goers love it

This motel is ideally located for those attending concerts at Cornell University or downtown Ithaca venues. After a night out, you’ll appreciate the quiet surroundings—far enough from the late-night noise, but close enough for a short ride home. The motel’s easy access to local roads makes it a breeze to catch a late-night Uber or drive in and out. While check-in/out times aren’t listed, the laid-back atmosphere typically means accommodating staff.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends seeking an affordable base near Ithaca
  • Solo travelers in town for a bucket-list gig
  • Couples looking for a quiet, no-fuss weekend
  • Fans who want a peaceful spot to crash post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer to save on lodging and spend on experiences

Food and Drink Options

You’ll get a daily continental breakfast to help you recover from the night before. While there’s no on-site restaurant or late-night dining, several eateries are just a short drive away in downtown Ithaca. There’s no room service, but the in-room refrigerator is handy for storing midnight snacks or leftovers.

Nightlife Options

While the motel itself is a quiet retreat, you’re just minutes from Ithaca’s downtown bars, lounges, and live music venues. Whether you want to grab a craft beer or catch another act after the main show, a short rideshare will get you there.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the cleanliness, affordability, and quiet setting. Guests appreciate the friendly, no-fuss service and proximity to Cornell University. Many mention it's a solid, reliable place to stay when visiting for an event or quick weekend getaway.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury spot—think simple and practical. Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated, and there’s no on-site nightlife or dining. But for the price and location, most agree it gets the job done.

The Bottom Line

If you’re headed to a concert in Ithaca and want a quiet, budget-friendly place to crash, The Springwater Inn hits the right note.

A gem!

Liked: The place was VERY clean. It was also very quiet even though there were a number of other guests there. We had stayed in two other places on this trip and by far the room at Springwater was the largest. The bathroom was bright. I especially liked the light-up mirror . I also appreciated the shower gel, shampoo and soap dispensers attached to the shower wall and hand soap and lotion dispensers at the sink. We had two queen beds that were very comfortable. The proprietor was very pleasant and helpful when giving a restaurant suggestion which turned out to be delicious (The Antlers right down the road). The continental breakfast provided severaloptions. The coffee was fresh brewed and better (stronger) than the big chain places we had stayed. We were also VERY pleased with the cost of the room. If ever we travel that way again I would definitely return to The Springwater Inn
Disliked: Everything was good. I wouldn’t change a thing

Liked: The Springwater Inn is a rehabbed motel property just outside of Ithaca that is exceptionally nice and well done. It appears to be family owned and not a big chain. Our room was a great size and comfortable. Water pressure was great. Beds were incredibly comfortable. Good continental breakfast.
