Motel Information The closest Motel is the Quality Inn in Tully, 5779 State Route 80, NY 13159 It's about 11 miles from The Lafayette Apple Festival Grounds Make your reservations for the September Scent Work Trial (Sept 5, 6 & 7, 2026) as early as possible as it is also State Fair time in Syracuse and it can be hard to get motel rooms. At the Quality Inn in Tully, the prices were about $147/room in June and they go up to over $200 room in August (NYS Fair), plus there's a $20 pet fee. Other recommended motels that are not in Syracuse (which we don't recommend because of the State Fair and all the construction on I-81) are The Lincklaen House (Terri's Favorite) and the Hampton Inn & Suites in Casanovia. There are also plenty of motels in Auburn, NY. |
