You and your pets are considered a part of our family at the Ithaca Marriott Downtown. While your pet is on the hotel property you will be expected to keep them on a leash and clean up after their waste. Dogs should not be unattended while in our rooms, but if you must leave them behind, please consider using a crate while you are out of your hotel room. This ensures the safety of your pet, our hotel, and our staff.  If you are planning to explore Ithaca with your pet, be sure to stop by the hotel's front desk. We will tell you about the nearest dog-friendly locations, local pet stores, and parks.
