| Ithaca hotels and motels are just one option
when the family of a Cornell graduate is making arrangements
for their three-night stay on graduation weekend. Although
Ithaca has seen a dramatic increase in hotels and motels,
there is always a shortage on this weekend that attracts over
35,000 guests for graduation. A wonderfully creative approach
to managing this need for hotels and motels is undertaken
by Commencement Weekend Rentals, a local business that creates
a great match between a homeowner and a visiting college family.
Homeowners, who often go away for Memorial Day Weekend,
are delighted to provide their homes to college families
in need of lodging. The home is fully prepared and continental
breakfast and fresh flowers are included. Key arrangements
are made in advance and the guests need only arrive in Ithaca
to enjoy the comfort and convenience. When contacted after
their stay, guests report with great enthusiasm that although
they may not have met their hosts, they felt very special
and warmly welcomed by homeowners who went the extra mile
in preparing their home for the weekend. Homeowners are
pleased as well, knowing they have contributed toward providing
their guests a hospitality experience that supersedes that
of hotels and motels. To make a reservation call Commencement
Weekend Rentals at 607-272-7344.
