The Grayhaven Motel

We chose the Grayhaven Motel because of its close proximity to our planned hike. The owners have done a fantastic job renovating the hotel while maintaining the general look of a roadside motel. The shower head was one of the best I’ve used, and the bird feeder outside our window was a nice addition. I wish we could have made use of the fire pit on the property and the s’more kit provided (unfortunately it was raining). Breakfast was simple but delicious- local yogurt and a hearty granola fueled us for the hike. Overall a great experience.

Place is clean and staff members are quite helpful

We had a quiet, clean, thoughtfully-put-together room near a very pleasant outdoor sitting area. We slept very well and will be back again.

This was a long planned trip for 3 friends celebrating a milestone birthday. We loved the authentic vintage feel of the place. Very helpful and friendly staff. Delicious coffee and comfy rooms. Loved the outdoor fire pits and some rooms had a nice portable record player and a variety of vintage records to play. As an avid birder the marshland, forests and well kept trails out back were a real treat! Highly recommend.

Really didn't know what to expect when I booked the 1964 Shasta compact camper for 4 nights. I just wanted to experience something unique & different. My stay exceeded my expectations. I fell asleep to the comforting sound of rain on the roof & the gentle cooling breeze of a rechargeable fan. Room 6, that accompanies the camper, has a nice shower, sink, toilet, couch & end table, with plenty of room to store my stuff & power to charge my phone in air-conditioned comfort. The Grayhaven staff are friendly, eager to be of assistance, & easy to talk to. Complimentary breakfast items included delicious yogurt & granola, juice, oatmeal, peanut butter, apples, coffee & tea. Trays are provided for transport to your room. Upon arrival I found fire starter, wood & a s'mores kit waiting for me! The grounds are well kept & adorned with beautiful flowers that were in bloom. There are nice areas to sit in the fresh air & in the main house where the office is. Grayhaven has a very convenient location---you're minutes from all Ithaca has to offer. I hope to return to Grayhaven Motel in the future.

Five stars the whole time we were there. Staff was friendly courteous kind professional answered all my questions. Had great knowledge of the area recommended some great locations. Room was modern and clean. Firework and s'mores will a nice touch will be back with friends
