Travel Between the Holiday Inn and the ILR Conference Center

A shuttle bus will run between the hotels and the ILR Conference Center at the beginning and end of each day. In addition, public buses operate between downtown Ithaca and the Cornell Campus throughout the day. More information about the shuttle and bus schedules can be found on the Transportation page.

If you would like to drive from the hotel to campus, you will need to purchase a visitor's parking permit at one of the visitor and parking booths located at the four main entrances to the campus. Visitor parking can then be used in designated areas. 4
