We never met our hostess, as we were there during the middle of the week and she was teaching. However, our room was excellent. We felt at home. All was spotless clean. The location was lovely. I would definitely recommend it to others. The only odd thing was that she accepted cash only. I was a bit skeptical but all... More

My husband and I attended a wedding in Ithaca over Columbus Day weekend. We chose City Lights B & B based on the positive reviews of other guests, and the proximity to Ithaca. City Lights lived up to the reviews. We stayed in the Petite Suite, which has a living room area, small kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom. It had everything... More

Although I am not a B&B person I can say the experience at City Lights could change my mind. It is quiet, comfortable and has great views of Cornell. I enjoyed it so much on my first visit that I came back with 2 other couples. Each visit included a great breakfast and friendly conversation. The rooms are an eclectic... More

My husband and I stayed at the Inn @ City Lights for 2 days recently. It was like a dream come true for an artist.The colorful, yet peaceful atmosphere, tasteful accessories and textiles coordinate amazingly with the loving warmth of the host to make this place a perfect 'artistic den'. Colleen, the owner/host is wonderful beyond words. She is not... More

What a perfect stay we had at City Lights. The hostess was warm and accommodating, and very much a local plugged into her community. I was bringing my daughter to college from across the country, so the trip was somewhat emotionally charged. Colleen made us an awesome breakfast in her homey country kitchen. It was the best send off to... More

My wife and I just stayed here on our first anniversary. When I booked our trip I was looking for the usually unattainable combination of high comfort and low cost. I found City Lights through Trip Adviser and was shocked to find that a suite with livingroom/ kitchen, private entrance, private bath etc. cost $20 more then a room at... More

I stayed at Inn @ City Lights while my son attending orientation at a nearby college. Stayed in the warm, adorable and whimsical Petit Suite which had a private entrance, a kitchen which was stocked with all the applicances one would need, even the bathroom was stocked with body wash, lotion and shampoo. Colleen prepared wonderful breakfasts each morning with... More

My husband and I stayed here for the first night of a week in the Finger Lakes area. The place is really unique and hard to describe, and I urge you to check it out. Colleen glows energy and joie de vivre and Evan is gives great travel advice with his french toast. Neither are intrusive. We stayed in the... More

I would return here anytime I am in the Ithaca area! Just delightful hosts. Couldn't be more accommodating. The decorating is eclectic to use a buzz word, but every where you turn there is something neat to see. Fellow travelers brought dogs. Breakfast was at a big farmhouse table in the huge kitchen and the hosts were great at starting... More
