Marcellus Chalets

My 7 C's are comfort, cleanliness, conveniences, character, close to points of interest, cost, and coolness (A/C). And Nightshade Inn & Gardens gets 5 out of 5 gold stars in each category. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and immaculate, with a lot of classic homey comforts in a recently remodeled and modern setting, with wonderful bathroom amenities, convenient free parking in front of your room, free and easy access to Wi-Fi and a wide range of free streaming TV programming (such as Roku,...

Most of the staff was very friendly and treated us like we were very special to them. One middle-aged woman working the breakfast area was a bit terse. She was not friendly at all.

The hotel is updated, modern very clean. Our room was specious, but lacked a few comforts that most hotels offer such as a coffee maker and comfortable chairs to use while relaxing in the room. The room was more than big enough to add a couch or comfortable chair. All they have is a metal uncomfortable office style seat. No coffee in the room or microwave which for me brings my rating down. I do not want to have to get dressed and make my way to the lobby for my first cup of coffee! Staff...

We were traveling very late and found this hotel on Expedia. Called the front desk to let them know we would be arriving later and Katie was so sweet! She put us at ease that we would be able to check in later with no problems. Front desk clerk got us checked in quickly and was very kind. Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was great and staff were monitoring area to clean and refill food as it was taken.

24 hour shuttle.

It was a well maintained hotel with nice amenities

Very unique Adirondack type lodge!! It was just what I was looking for!!! I didn't like that last 2 nights of my 4 night stay I had to listen to a dog barking in the room next to me.

Love this hotel. Perfect stopover to Niagara Falls. Yummy breakfast.

This is a beautiful property, it is like staying in a historical mansion. We stayed in a king suite and the room was huge and very nice. Continental breakfast was simple and sufficient, great experience overall. We had an emergency situation at home (12 hrs away) and the manager was extremely helpful in working with us so that we could leave a day early. Would definitely recommend this hotel…close to Skeaneatles and the lake.

The room and bathroom were spotless and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. Keurig provided in room and 24 hr hot coffee/tea bar in the lobby, which was also super clean. Did not wake up in time for breakfast so unsure what is served but it is included. All the staff were so nice and welcoming - especially the night desk attendant! The area felt safe and is a very convenient location. The only thing that could be annoying for some is the traffic sounds as it's near the Thruway and Airport,...

If you are looking for a nice place to stay near Syracuse, this is place is a very good choice! The house is beautiful and sweet like home, and the breakfast is pretty delicious. There are some good restaurants nearby too, so don't need to worry about where to have dinners. The only thing is that they really need to fix the front door of the room I stay (first floor). I couldn't open it from inside at first, then I couldn't lock it from outside. Something must be wrong with the electric...

Very clean. Great front desk service. You can tell it's the type of roadside motel that prides itself on cleanliness and comfort. When in season: There's outside chairs everywhere, front and back. And if it's nice out, definitely look behind the motel. Nice, wide open space w/chairs and room to run/roam. I was in room 1 and noticed there was also adjoining rooms available which is a nice plus if needed. There's been some comments on traffic/noise...it's not hugging the road by any means. But...

Amazing B&B! Right across form the lake. The most amazing host (Clark) ever!! So responsive. Very knowledgeable about the area. Offered recommendations and concierge service. Emailed me recs before arrival. Tailored breakfast to all your dietary needs/concerns. Always available by text for any issues. Felt like I was at home and like I'd known him for years! He clearly loves what he does! Room was super clean. Had a Keurig, wine glasses, cork screw, water in the fridge, air...

We are grateful for a clean, comfortable, easily accessed property for our Syracuse University visit in October 2026. Will DEFINITELY pin this property for our next visit!
