Charming Ithaca B&B Steps from Downtown and Music

The William Henry Miller Inn is a recently renovated bed and breakfast in the heart of Ithaca, NY. Just a short drive from Cornell University and Ithaca College, this cozy inn blends historic charm with modern comforts. Located in a walkable area full of restaurants, bars, and cultural spots, it’s a great home base for anyone in town for a show or festival.
With a peaceful garden, free parking (including EV charging), and complimentary Wi-Fi, it’s a low-key, stress-free spot to recharge before or after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans love how close the inn is to both college campuses and Ithaca’s bustling downtown scene. Whether you’re catching a show at a campus venue or a local bar, you're never far from the action. The inn’s quiet, residential vibe makes it a relaxing place to wind down afterward. Plus, free late-night parking and the charm of a small inn make it easy to come and go on your own schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a unique stay and shared experiences

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, guests rave about the decadent homemade breakfast served each morning—perfect after a late night. The inn is within walking distance of downtown Ithaca’s many eateries, offering everything from pizza to upscale dining. While there’s no room service, chocolates or cookies in-room are a sweet late-night perk.

Nightlife Options

You're just a few blocks from Ithaca’s bar and pub scene, with options for live music, cocktails, and local brews. Though there’s no bar on-site, the inn’s location makes it easy to enjoy a night out and stroll safely back.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the warm hospitality, charming atmosphere, and clean, comfortable rooms. Reviewers also love the location, noting how convenient it is for shows, sightseeing, and food. The homemade breakfast is frequently called a highlight of their stay.

Areas for Improvement

This inn isn’t for those looking for hotel-style amenities like a gym or 24/7 concierge. Some guests mention that rooms can vary in size and décor, so if you have a preference, it’s good to book early or ask ahead. And while it’s close to nightlife, it’s not exactly party central—more for those who want a peaceful place to sleep it off.

The Bottom Line

A cozy, well-located B&B that hits all the right notes for concert-goers who value charm, comfort, and convenience.
