This was a very nice property for the price point. Our room was spacious with a kitchenette. We were moving our daughter and staff helped us find parking four u-haul. Hannah offered wonderful service and recommendations on multiple occasions. I can’t say enough about the friendliness of the staff! The only drawback we encountered was on Friday and Saturday night it was loud due to illegal street racing. The police tried to monitor but once they left - drivers were back at it until early hours of the morning. Bring earplugs if you are staying those nights! Our last night (Sunday) was quiet. I’d stay again!

The TV and phone did not work in my original room. They upgraded me to a much bigger and nicer room. Service was a little slow. I had to wait for someone to come to the desk when I was checking out which was annoying because I was in a hurry.

Staff super friendly and happy to assist-best part of hotel! It is a historic hotel so some issues have to be overlooked, but it is a non-smoking hotel and my room smelled of old smoke. I wish they did breakfast on weekends at 7 so people who were attending graduations could grab something before leaving...

Consistently amazing experience

This is my second time visiting this hotel and it has been a consistently amazing experience. From the front desk staff to the cleanliness of the room you would think you are staying in a 5 star hotel. This hotel has old time charm in a modern style. The room is very spacious and the view is fantastic. It’s centrally located to some great restaurants. I’m staying here moving forward anytime I have to come to Syracuse University to visit my child.
