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.

No AC room was very hot!!

Our AC did not work in our room. I called the front desk and the night “manager” came to replace the batteries in the thermostat which didn’t work either. I asked if she please had a fan since our room was very hot and no air cycling at all. Then we asked for a different room, apparently there were none available. The day manager came in, in the morning, I let her know what happened and she did take some money off our bill. The day manager, Stephanie was very nice.
