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.

Rooms are spotless. Staff very efficient and it’s very well run. Location felt a little dodgy but the security at the hotel and care taken to avoid non residents access was superb.

There were too many maintenance issues. The entrance to the facility near my room was busted and I had to enter from the main entrance each time. The lobby was dark, dingy and uninviting. The room was stuffy and the toilet & air duct in the bathroom had to be repaired. The breakfast was scarce. For example, of the 3 small containers of hot options, I had to wait for the eggs to defrost before they could be prepared and made available. As a result, my best options was a toasted bagel.

Overall a Great Experience

Positives: Great, secure, accessible location. Comfortable and beautiful room. Areas of Improvement: Hotels.com indicated that a free bottle of wine would be provided upon check in based on my membership level but that did not happen. Breakfast in the morning was ok, not everything was displayed or available and some of the pastries tasted stale.

Clean, comfortable, full breakfast options.

No complaints -- the variety of breakfast items was a welcome addition to the clean and comfortable room and bath. Would stay again -- The front desk person, Mili, was most welcoming and helpful. She really made me feel at home, from the first night and throughout the stay.
