Staff at front desk was nery helpful - especially Millie. Our room was not cleaned during our stay, which was OK with us, but not requested. Bed was very comfortable. It was very noisy even at night, with carts rolling along the open hallways. Convenient location, good breakfast.

Recent two night stay here. Located outside the Clinton Square area so within walking distance of the bus hub. Area not the bead hotel has a motel feel with small reception and breakfast bar area. Room itself was a decent size and bathroom functional. Lovely lady at reception who could not have been more helpful. Will be back in Syracuse and would definitely stay here again.

Expedia had listed breakfast as being from 6:30-10:30 (main reason I stayed here). Got there at 9:35, front desk said "Breakfast closes at 9, I just cleared it off at 9:30" I mentioned this to the Hotel after via Expedia messages and they appear to have changed it on Expedia now as well. Of course that doesn't negate the $20 I had to spend getting breakfast elsewhere.

My stay was for 1 week. Despite having the “make up room” sign out EVERY DAY, three different times I had to request the garbage be removed from my room and for clean towels and wash cloths. My sheets were only changed one time, and that’s because I went to the desk and demanded they be changed. The management really needs to do better.

The property has some sort of unpleasant scent as you walk along the corridors to your room. The flies were also unpleasant and annoying. It was in my room and the washroom and breakfast bar area. I actually saw the flies on the bagel. The bed was lovely and the room was tidy, so that was good.
