New Park Retreat & Event Center

My wife and I stayed at the Finger Lakes cottage and have to say it was absolutely amazing. Self-check-in was easy and straight forward. Upon arrival I happened to notice they only had decaf coffee pods with their Keurig and thinking of morning I texted the number given to us at check-in and within 5 min a staff member was at our door with a cup full of regular coffee pods. Never have had that quick of service at any establishment. As for the room and the grounds, my wife and I spent most the evening exploring and really appreciating the attention to details and how much there was to do. We built a fire with the supplied wood, played the piano in the wishing room as well as threw on some old vinyl's on their record player there. Walked around the gardens and discovered all the garden gnomes hidden throughout. Finished the night sitting by the fire and listening to the running water from the creek that runs right by. It was very relaxing. As for the room we couldn't be happier. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The TV was bigger than most with all the apps so we could watch a movie. We had fun finding all the little easter eggs around the room, such as the race car at the end of Seneca lake or the many elephants around the room. I won't say to much more as I'll let you discover them yourself. Plenty of things to do nearby too and the location was perfect for all the waterfall parks and downtown Ithaca. Would definitely stay again!!

My husband and I do an overnight stay once every couple months as a way to reconnect and get a solid night of sleep (we have a toddler and he is not a fan of the whole sleep thing). We stayed at the Park Suite at New Park for my birthday in December. We absolutely loved it, right down to every little detail. The room was beautiful and had everything we could need. Also, it was exceptionally clean. You’d think during this time that hotels would be going the extra mile to make sure rooms are spotless upon your arrival but sadly we have been seeing the exact opposite. But New Park IS going that extra mile!! They really didn’t miss a single spot. The bathroom -WOW. I have no other words. Even the keurig coffee station deserves a special mention because I’m a big coffee drinker and I’m often frustrated by the lack of variety other hotels have. Not only that, but I’m usually having to call the front desk and ask for more cream and sugar because they assume everyone just likes black coffee or that no one should need more than 2 creamers. The Park Suite had a huge selection of k-cups and plenty of cream and sugar. This was much appreciated!!! And finally, the view of the forest was serene (I can only imagine how gorgeous it is in the spring and fall). We had a crazy windy storm the night we stayed so unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to walk around and look at everything, but we are hoping for better weather next time because it seemed like there was lots to see. With as many trips as we have taken over the years, this was our absolute favorite and also one of the more affordable ones! The staff was also so nice and attentive. We plan on booking again soon!
