Disappointed lately

The hotel has really declined in maintenance over the last year. I have stayed there about 10 times over the year and im disappointed in the maintenance. The past 2 months the ice machine on the 2nd floor has been broken. The building has a musty smell and our room last night had huge water stains on the ceiling and cracks. Went to the breakfast at 9:15 that was suppose to go to 10:00 and all food gone and everything cleaned up. Really disappointed in the hotel that has a restaurant with raving reviews in it and i have dined it this restaurant and its excellent. The 2 definitely dont jive

Disliked: Amenities
The equipment in the fitness center was in poor condition. The room we were in looked like it had flooded at one point. You could tell by the poor condition of the closet. I tripped over the lip of the front door when we got there. They wanted to charge me $30 for ‘early check in’ then were surprised that I said we’d wait bc I didn’t care about checking in early. That’s just when we got there. I won’t stay here again.

The front desk clerk had attitude and was very rude, had to ring bell multiple times to get attention in middle of the day. First floor hallway and room smelled horrible. Luggage cart was very unsafe to use. Bathroom sink drained slowly, I used at night and it was still draining in morning.

My husband and I stayed here during an event in Syracuse. The room for 3 nights was over $1,000.00. We check in and find there was no longer a shuttle service we planned to use. The hotel room was okay. Outdated but spacious. Smelled of smoke, several light bulbs out and the tub faucet was broken. Very few amenities but the on site steakhouse was phenomenal and probably the only thing this hotel has going for it.
