“Great service, great design. My room had a ventilation issue due to it being top floor. Could have been a previous guest with heavy perfume. Wish I could have addressed it while I was there because I didn’t feel quite well after staying there— but that’s my problem that I didn’t bring it up. Other than that it was a lovely place to visit. Love the location.”
“Primarily giving 5 stars because 2 bedroom suite was very spacious for 4 people. Room felt nice and for being right next to the elevator, I could not hear it. Breakfast was eh..”

“Hotel was nice. I stayed with my family. Location, service and room condition were good. I don’t want to recommend breakfast. Long waiting and order was missing.”
“Not a bad hotel for the price if you're dropping in to see your kids at college. It's inexpensive and reasonably well maintained. Front desk staff was very friendly. Rooms were updated. Beds were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was fresh with a good variety. Great location surrounded by shopping and restaurants.
Gripes? Parking lot was really dark. Need a light out there. No daily maid service so it's fine for a night or two but can be a problem for longer stays. Told at check-in that breakfast on Saturday was until 10am but they broke it down at 9. And the biggest problem was the noise. It looks like when they updated the rooms they replaced the typical noise absorbing carpeting with vinyl plank flooring. There are huge gaps under the doors and sound from the halls echoes into the rooms. Definitely need to stuff a towel under the door to get any sleep.”
“The room was nice and clean. It was very cozy and romantic. The sheets and towels were clean. They had a variety of choices at their breakfast in the morning. It was a nice experience.”
“I thought the room I stayed in was fair. No evidence of bedbugs as many others have mentioned. In fact it looks like they may have remodeled recently. Aside from some cleanliness/ maintenance issues (toilet, dust, etc), it was a comfortable stay.”
“A newly renovated motel thats just a short drive from downtown Ithaca, the Grayhaven Motel is a charming blend of vintage character and modern comfort.
The family-owned property has been lovingly restored, blending new remodel with old atheistic. Its atmosphere is welcoming, relaxed, and nostalgic; but with the conveniences today’s wanderer appreciates.
The rooms are tastefully decorated with a mid-century flair, clean lines, warm wood tones, and retro touches that give the space personality. Each room is clean and thoughtfully outfitted with comfortable bedding, locally inspired artwork, and modern amenities. It’s clear the owners put care into creating a place that feels both stylish and cozy.
One of the best aspects of the Grayhaven is its serene setting. Despite being only minutes from Cornell, Ithaca College, and the vibrant downtown scene, the motel feels tucked away in its own quiet corner of the Finger Lakes. Guests can relax in the outdoor spaces, wander the grounds, or enjoy a fire pit in the evening; which is highly recommended. You can buy firewood from them; 3 to 4 stacks is recommended. They also have a selection of snacks, a small menu of food, wine and beer and sodas available to buy in the main office.
Main office closes at 8pm.
The staff are friendly and helpful and can tel you about the surrounding area.
With its unique character, peaceful setting, and personal touches, the Grayhaven Motel offers an inviting alternative to chain hotels. For visitors who appreciate charm, comfort, and a sense of place. It’s definitely a fun vibe and a good price!”
