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.
