I loved loved loved the Dorm Hotel! It's a unique little boutique hotel, perfect for a solo traveler. Everything adorable and clean as a whistle. Staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful without being intrusive. I was deeply grateful for the kitchen/bar area where I was able to pour myself a glass of wine (charged by the dispensed ounce, using to the room card) to help me relax after my six hour drive. Then I made myself a delicious dinner from the available food (honor system) without having to go out in bad weather. Fun to cross paths with other guests in the lovely common areas. The only reason I knocked one star off comfort and ecofriendly was because they used a heavily perfumed laundry detergent for the bedding. I sniffled and sneezed, and had to take migraine medication because strong scents can be triggers for many of us migraine sufferers. The Dorm Hotel is obviously very health and eco conscious, so I'm sure once made aware, they will gladly switch to fragrance free cleaning and laundry products for their guests with sensitivities. Even with that bit of discomfort, I will happily stay at The Dorm whenever I'm in Ithaca.
