The Grayhaven Motel

Perfect stay! The room was attractive, clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the complimentary firewood and smores fixings on New Years Eve. Breakfast was delicious. I liked the birdfeeder situated right outside our window. Will stay here again next time we're in Ithaca.

The Grayhaven Motel is the perfect place to stay and get away. It may seem counter intuitive to book a motel less than 20 miles away from home in the middle of this super busy time of year but it is the perfect place to recharge. I sat next to the fireplace in the cozy guest lounge and watched the Friday night Christmas movie while sipping cider and snacking on roasted pumpkin seeds. It is such a friendly and comfortable place to visit.

Five star experience. Everything from booking to check in, and check out, staff was extremely courteous room was very clean, and a really great local experience! My first visit to the area was over-the-top! Thank you so much for the hospitality and thank you for being awesome!

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
