Bar: 0/5 Don’t bother going ...

Bar: 0/5 Don’t bother going to the bar, especially if you’re from out of state. Apparently, the bar manager “won’t trust” your out-of-state ID and will proceed to Google questions to quiz you on geography, including questions about your ID and where you’ve lived. All I wanted was a drink after a long day in the operating room. The irony is that I’m in one of the most respected fields of work (surgical residency), yet I was refused service (even after answering questions correctly) because the bar manager wasn’t familiar with my out-of-state ID. She also refused to serve my husband, who is 33 years old. Absolutely ridiculous and an embarrassing way to treat customers. Restaurant Upstairs: 5/5 On the other hand, the food and service upstairs were excellent! Everyone was very welcoming. My husband and I both ordered the duck, and it was incredible. The drinks were also very good. It was a completely different experience upstairs, and definitely worth the visit!

It's a lovely hotel and we enjoyed our stay but it frankly is ridiculously overpriced compared to the other full service hotels in town. The Statler often runs 30-40% more expensive than the nearby Marriott, Hilton, and Hotel Ithaca that are comparable in style and service. The whole hotel, while in fine shape, is a bit dated. The rooms and public areas need a refresh. The $30/day parking is unnecessarily high. I think the place is living on legacy nostalgia. For the price of a regular room here, I'd rather get a suite at the Marriott which is just as close to west campus and closer to downtown dining and bars.

Good stay, but way ...

Good stay, but way overpriced for what they offer. A king sized bed with normal bathroom was what they call a “triple” I’m not sure how three people were sleeping in that room. You also have to pay valet on top of that. They automatically put valet on your bill, so check it and they will take it off. Free parking garage on weekends.
