Disliked: Amenities
Staff were super friendly. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast did the job. The fitness center is a joke. You can barely fit in the room and there are no weights…just really large machines that have super limited functionality. The water bubbler in the fitness center didn’t work. God forbid if you wanted to do any work on the floor. The outside access was super quirky - one door didn’t work and the other was hit or miss. Hallways and staircases were pretty dirty.

The rooms were clean, but the first two days no one cleaned our room. The third day, they changed our towels but did not clean the sink or make the bed. But did take our tip. The front desk staff were friendly. The facility is old. I was disappointed with the facility for the price I paid. Also, no dining options within walking distance. Homeless people in the parking lot asking for money. But it was only 10 minutes from Syracuse University.
