This place has an amazing energy! Is it haunted? Well, that's for you to decide. In my opinion (as an open minded skeptic) WITHOUT A DOUBT. What may surprise you is the benevolence and playfulfness of all the spirits. No bad energy to be found at all. If you go into it with a positive attitude, the spirits are (very!)... More

I recently spent the night here with a big group of friends, as part of an organized "ghost hunt". Although I'm a confirmed skeptic, I still had a blast! The Shanley is a beautiful old grande dame of a hotel - yes, the paint is peeling and parts of the house are still being renovated, but that only adds to... More

The Shanley Hotel is absolutely out of this world! First and foremost, Sal Nicosia, the owner of Shanley, is such a wonderful and welcoming and generous man, and I applaud him for the care and love he has put into keeping the Shanley up and running and putting all him time and effort into preserving this amazing piece of history....

I think it's a wonderful place to investigate and stay ! I am the Co-Founder of Indy Para and I am a writer . So it really does stirs the creative juices. I could not sleep a wink all night ! ( That is a good thing when you stay at a "haunted hotel " .... Love it !

Stayed overnight in this "hotel" a few years ago. At that point, only the second floor was set up for overnight stays, but it is more of an inn than a hotel.

Do your research be for going. This place is not haunted. I attended a haunted night stay and it was all a scam. It had nothing haunted about it other than the sales pitch and unproven stories! We were up very late performing investigations. Mike told us that part of the basement was used to hold bodies over the winter... More

I came across the website for The Shanley Inn after randomly searching for haunted hotels in the New York area. I wanted to plan a quick weekend getaway and was hoping they had rooms available. I spoke to Sal, the owner- who is SUCH an amazing guy. He held a room for us and was very laid back about the... More

A group of about fifteen of us booked the entire hotel for New Years Eve, and boy did we have a blast! It's not your typical hotel, and it's certainly not for everyone, but if you're into the spooky, creepy, or simply kitschy you'll love it. The owner, Sal, was more than accommodating to our group, setting up space heaters... More
