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!
The Nightshade Inn offered a comfortable stay that was very clean and conveniently located just outside of Syracuse.

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.

Place was updated and well kept. Enjoyed the in room fresh fruit, bottles of water and granola snacks!
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.
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
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!
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.
Great little place to stay, it was close to our family who lives near by

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.
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.
Great location, well maintained, clean, affordable and the staff member was friendly. My only concern was that the interior of the main door to the room did not have another layer of safety, which would be a lock from the inside only.The door only has a deadbolt, so anyone with a spare key or ability topic the lock would be able to enter. I would suggest an inside bar lock. Otherwise it was a great place and we would stay again.
