Guest Reviews
- Edward (9/5): - Clean and comfortable Nothing
- Helena (8/5): Convenience at a reasonable price. - Close to Syracuse It would be nice to have a few more offerings for breakfast.
- Maria Teresa (8/5): Very clean motel, good for a 2 night stay. - The Inn is run by a very nice family. And it’s extremely clean.
- Matt (10/5): -
- Lincoln (8/5): -
- Donald (10/5): -
- Julie (9/5): - The motel is very clean and the staff are pleasant. The rooms have been renovated. I do think the mattress could be upgraded. We had a pleasant stay and would book again. Breakfast. A toaster with English muffins or bagels would be better than packaged sweets.
- Kingdoms I.C.M L.L.C (10/5): - Nice, quiet motel with a peaceful atmosphere. The owners are very kind and welcoming, which made the stay even better. Simple, comfortable, and a great place if you’re just looking to relax. I plan on stay here again the next time im in the area Drive way is alittle small I wouldn't bring anything bigger then a small u haul box truck.
- Kevin (3/5): totally disappointing, could get back on the road soon enough - convenient location dreary look inside. dark. floor and bed very uncomfortable. large bug(roach?) killed in bathroom. Heater very noisy. room was very smelly musty. There was a dehumidifier in the room but first impression was very musty smell
- Janeen (8/5): -
- Dustin (10/5): -
- Jane (8/5): - Breakfast was not indicated to be included, but there was coffee and some pastries and fruit available The pillows were not that great
- Steve (10/5): A really nice, simple, clean place to sleep before getting back on the road. - The owners are extremely nice and the rooms are very clean with well thought out amenities.
It’s the kind of road side motel that was common before the invasion of chain lodgings.
It felt good to be patronizing an owner operated business and contributing to the local economy, especially since the quality is higher than the corporate competition. I guess the pillows could have been softer but then someone else would complain about that, so whatever!
- Cynthia (10/5): Clean, cute and friendly. - We really enjoyed the fresh fruit and snacks. It was a nice touch. Our room was clean and nicely decorated. It was the absolute best combination of home and upscale hotel. The road noise was sometimes loud, but what else can you expect when it's a motel on a main artery? Overall, it was not intolerable, and once you're asleep it doesn't matter anyway.
- Keith (9/5): -
- jack (9/5): -
- Wayne (10/5): -
- Amanda (8/5): -
- Gary (9/5): Nice - well maintained, pleasant hosts, ammenities All good
- Deborah (9/5): -
- Greta (10/5): - Had a very short stay but bed was really comfortable and the place felt clean. I had wished there was a second door lock option other than just the dead bolt for security, especially if I had been traveling alone.
- KIMBERLY (10/5): Very comfortable and extremely clean with updated interior. - We loved this quaint little gem. It was spotless and had personal touches of fresh fruit, snacks and waters. The mattresses and pillows were very comfortable. They were very attentive to us and were very hands on. I had booked a few rooms for a graduation and was pleasantly surprised. They had little chairs and table outside of each room and we were able to take our chairs and gather together. Will definite stay again if I find myself back in the area.
- Debbie (10/5): - Room was very comfortable and clean. They left snacks for us and water which was nice. We arrived a little late and they were very accommodating
- adi (9/5): -
- Michael (7/5): -
- Mary Jo (10/5): -
- Smith (10/5): -
- Mitchell (8/5): Good value, clean, basic, with easentials - Clean, quiet Room lighting, there was no housekeeping on our 2 night stay
- Dewi (8/5): Good for a quick stay en route to the airport! - The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Each room comes equipped with a microwave and a fridge. It would be nice to have a small table to sit at in the room, but perhaps the room is too small for a table.
- Sharon (10/5): -
- John (9/5): -
- Suheyla (10/5): - Staff was so helpful, room was so clean and renovated, facility is well maintained. They put some snacks and fruits on my room which is great and thoughtful. 5 star!
- Jan (10/5): - My daughter & I wanted to visit Skaneateles. Nightshade was just a 10-15 minute drive. Looks like 1950s motel from the road, but very cute, clean & well kept. Our room was as nice or even nicer than some upscale, expensive places I’ve stayed. Very clean, sleek & stylish. The bathroom was gorgeous! Looked recently remodeled. There was bottled water & bowls of snacks & fresh fruit in our room, which I thought was a very nice touch. Coffee, tea, fruit & pastries were available each morning in the office. The owner, Sing, was very friendly & accomodating. I will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.
- Sharon (10/5): Awesome as alway! - Updated, clean, quiet and comfortable. The host is one of the best.
- Lars (9/5): - Das Badezimmer war super, endlich eine Dusche mit Wasserdruck
Das Bett war bequem
- Jeanine (10/5): - This location was close enough to the university that I could easily move between the two. I felt very safe and the room was very clean. I wish the tv had local stations. I was unable to watch live TV unless I put in my personal information which did make me comfortable.
- John (10/5): - Staff is great, very clean and reasonably price I will stay there again
- Joshua (10/5): - Very clean and quiet area. Staff was more than accommodating. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
- Allen (10/5): - Clean, well appointed room. Friendly efficient staff. Very pleased with this motel

- Alexis (9/5): -
- Paul (10/5): - It was very clean and the owners were polite
- kia (8/5): -
- Rebecca (10/5): - Older property on the outside, but the room had been redone on the inside. Shower was beautiful! Staff was very accommodating even when we were a little late arriving.
- Ginny (7/5): -
- Vanessa (10/5): It was lovely and the staff were super accommodating and communicative - It was perfect for a place to crash when in town
- Michelle (8/5): - Friendly staff with thoughtful amenities. They were welcoming and accessible. The gardens around the motel were lovely and it was quiet.
- Dan (8/5): We were there for a night to attend a funeral so will not be back on the area, but if we were we would not hesitate to s - Classic quaint motel, parking right at the suite’s door. Very clean, recently very nicely renovated rooms. Complimentary coffee and pastries in the morning. Nothing really. Everything was as expected and comfortable.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Good - Location and convenience. Clean and comfortable. The noisy air humidifier . The air condtioner hadnt been turned on Room remained stuffy.
- David (9/5): -
- Felmey (10/5): 3rd time back and will continue to go back, very clean and the staff is friendly. -
- Dominika (10/5): - I really enjoyed my stay at Nightshade Inn & Gardens! The staff was accommodating and friendly, the room was exceptionally clean and comfortable and had a very “homey” feel to it. The bathroom was the same way. Will definitely recommend staying here to friends and family when visiting, and I will be staying again myself!
- Jean (7/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): - The Nightshade Inn offered a comfortable stay that was very clean and conveniently located just outside of Syracuse.
- David (8/5): - Not a lot of room to move around
- Judy (10/5): Excellent place to stay. Owners were exceptional and went beyond our needs. Will definitely stay there again. - Close location to where we were visiting. Nothing. Liked everything about it.
- brittany (6/5): - I booked this room through expedia and needed to modify the reservation upon arrival and stay one less day. Our flight into syracuse had been delayed and we were making stops along the way to dropping my son off at college. 3 other hotels were able to make the change for me with no issues. The owners at nightshade were either unwilling or unable to make the adjustment. Also, the internet was spotty during the afternoon and would not work for my laptop or the television both of the nights we stayed here. The room was fine, the owners were friendly but for our purposes it wasn’t great. We did sleep well though so that’s something.
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Place was updated and well kept. Enjoyed the in room fresh fruit, bottles of water and granola snacks!
- Kelly (10/5): - The room is nice and clean. It looks to be newly remodeled. They give complimentary snacks and water in the room, which is a nice touch!
- Joanne (10/5): - A quiet, clean, pleasant place to stay. Staff was attentive but not intrusive. We felt safe, comfortable, and well-looked after. Thank you!
- Janeen (9/5): It was the perfect one night stay for a solo traveler. - Convenient off main road
Close to nice town
- Nancy (10/5): - Although the motel was dated, the staff made us feel very welcomed . The snacks and fresh fruit as well as bottled water was a personal touch . The updated rooms and absolute cleanliness was a plus ! Convenient location too.
- Ron (9/5): -
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Robin (10/5): Exceeded my expectations - Safe and extremely clean! Staff is super friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again if I'm in the area. No complaints.
- Marshall (2/5): Horrible - We didn’t stay. We left. The room had an odor that made my wife sick. The mattress on the bed was old and too thin. The room was also tiny. I do not understand how it was rated so highly. There were zero amenities. It’s a roadside motel that was listed on your site as a hotel
- Rick (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay here! Clean, cozy, and nicely decorated with wonderful amenities including fresh fruit! The owner/staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. A must-stay if you’re in the finger lakes!
- Kathryn (8/5): Very good -
- Buchert (8/5): Very good -
- David (9/5): Superb - Nice location, clean and comfortable, and great value.
- Kathleen (9/5): Superb -
- Lucy (10/5): Hidden gem - The room was immaculate and comfortable. The snacks and fresh fruit were a lovely touch, as were the tables and chairs outside our door, which provided a pleasant place to eat.
- Tracy (9/5): Superb - It’s close to our family who live nearby Nothing
- Tracy (9/5): Superb -
- Nancy (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the quiet, pretty setting, the clean and charming room, and the friendly, helpful proprietors. They even helped me with finding someone to help with a car problem so I could continue my trip. I definitely recommend this motel!
- Jennifer (4/5): It did in a pinch, but... - The people seemed friendly I will say it was cheap, and I never complained to the owner, so while I feel funny writing this, I don't want anyone else deceived by hyped up reviews.
It smelled funny. It seemed clean enough, but nothing like the reviews or pictures. Garbage was never removed, no towel replacement (very worn, small towels).
- Courtney (10/5): Great value for what you get! - The owners are super nice and attentive, the rooms are extremely clean which is our biggest thing! It’s affordable and close to a lot of wineries and the lakes we fish. Nothing we didn’t like
- Pam (10/5): - Great little place to stay, it was close to our family who lives near by
- Susan (6/5): - The motel was very clean however very dated, especially the exterior. Since it was so close to the highway, I worried about car theft, as well as someone breaking into our room with the outside door. The inside was clean, but again, dated.
- Karen (9/5): Great value - Clean, well equipped bathroom, comfortable bed, fridge with freezer, microwave and even in room snacks. Light switches were confusing until I figured out how on/off worked and how dimmer/brighter worked. Then they were great.
- Bette (10/5): Exceptional -
- Muir (7/5): Over all, not too terribly bad. Pricing could be better for the condition of the entire place. - Issues with large ants and stink bug but nothing too bad. Mattress was not comfortable for me. Not sure if they haven't been updated along with the remodeling that seemed to have gone on. Road noise is always an issue but if you have the HVAC system running, it helps with the road noise. Mattress. My shower, the shower head is too short for me, hot/cold was difficult to get to a comfortable tempurature. Room remodel was nice but the exterior needs a lot of work. Looks like a run down motel for sure. Entrance needs better lighting. With the traffic on Rt5, hitting the brakes when you realize the entrance is right there was scary.
- Leonora (10/5): - Stayed with my 2 little ones and felt so lucky to find such a clean comfortable place to stay. Owners are so welcoming and have it loaded with extras upon entering room with snacks and waters. Everything is spotless. In the morning they have a coffee bar with muffins and oatmeal. Highly recommend.
- William (5/5): Super clean place bed comfort gets an F - very clean!! staff are super nice! Bed was extremely uncomfortable we cut our trip short by one day because i couldn't sleep in the room again. The BED
- Wayne (9/5): Superb -
- John (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and quiet. I slept very well. Service was very friendly as well. Made for a great stay! The turn into the Inn was not well marked; hard to see coming off Route 5.
- Felmey (10/5): Very clean and comfortable, friendly staff, would highly recommend. -
- Todd (10/5): - Perfect place for a quick little getaway!
- Mary (10/5): Friendly, clean, and comfortable. - This is my second time to stay here, and it was just as nice as the first time. The fresh fruit and snacks in the room were a real treat, and the coffee was delicious. The owners were helpful and friendly, There were nice touches, such as snacks in the room and a table and chsirs in front of each room. Nothing.
- Sinoun (9/5): Nice stay! - Clean and friendly staff! Would recommend.
- Daniel (10/5): Updated motel with friendly staff, super clean and absurd value. - The room was super clean. The owners were very nice. It was quiet there. There was plenty of parking and it was only about a 12 minute drive from the city center. The price was unbeatable. An updated place like this shouldn't be going under the radar. I'll stay here every time I go to Cuse.
- Mac (10/5): It was fine - Didn't stay for breakfast
- Kris (3/5): Yuck! Don’t stay unless you have to. - Not much of anything When checking in you had to ring a doorbell in the office area/breakfast area. The lady came out of a disgusting door and took my credit card/ID and closed the door. Very weird! Then she came out with an actual key for our room. The room was okay, but could hear every car driving down the road and every neighbor. Breakfast consisted of store bought mini muffins and coffee.
- Renee (8/5): - Clean, perfect for a quick weekend!
- Susan (8/5): Very good -
- Lauralee (9/5): Superb -
- Lauralee (8/5): Very clean awesome staff! - The cleanliness of the room and the staff they were awesome The bed was not the most comfortable.
- Steven (8/5): Friendly, clean and comfortable - Very clean Nothing to complain about
- Tyler (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice little place. Clean rooms, quality surfaces and materials for everything, friendly, attentive staff. A hidden gem in the Syracuse area. I usually don't sleep well at all in hotels, but got a greta night's sleep every night here.
- Tracy (9/5): Superb -
