This is more like a motel. Long corridors, with many doors. Thin walls you can hear the neighbors. Room is sparsely finished and looks out on a chain fence and parking lot. Reception area is pleasant and staff seemed nice. Physically however this is Motel 6!

If you need to stay near the University and cannot get a room at the Sheraton then stay here. The room in which I stayed was not in the main hotel but across the entrance. There is only one small elevator here and it takes its time. The hallways are narrow and other guests tend to stand in the corridor... More

I stayed here on a business trip in December 2012. Attended a lovely reception and I found the hotel, overall, very quaint. Hotel was decoated beautifully for Christmas and my room was a nice size. Bedroom, bath, and reading room. I did find the room service a bit pricey though, as I paid close to $20 for my much-needed pot... More

I lived in Syracuse more years than I care to admit. It is only recently that we have had some really good hotels in which to stay. One of the more classier hotels in Syracuse, N.Y. Very nicely appointed and comfortable rooms, centrally located and an excellent restaurant and bar. Wonderful collection of wine. The food is excellent , good... More

I stayed at the Genesse Grande this past New Year’s Eve with my significant other. A native from Syracuse I can say that the service and location of this hotel is excellent. The hotel has a gorgeous lobby and restaurant/bar. The hotel is far enough away from the city so that its quietly located near the university, yet close enough... More

We've been traveling to the 'Cuse for the last 30 years to visit my husband's family. Over the years, we have stayed I'm from low-low budget places to, now that we can afford it, nicer hotels. Syracuse does not have a wide selection of great places, but the Genesee Grande is up there. Now, what would be a 3 star... More

We stayed here over the Christmas holiday. Service is always very good. Staff goes out of their way to please. The suite is huge. 3 very large spaces. Great for entertaining. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds in any hotel I have stayed in. Good workout room too. Very reasonable rates.

We stayed at the Genesee Grande Hotel for a 2 night girls weekend. We booked thru Priceline.com (which I won't do again - but that is another review). Before booking on Priceline I called the hotel to make sure we could have a room with 2 beds I was told no problem, that I should get my Priceline number and... More

I stayed at this hotel for just one night and found it to be very well appointed and quite clean. I was a little concerned about some of the negative reviews but didn't see almost anything wrong with this hotel. It's definitely a 4 star hotel from the lobby with it's nice furnishings and decor to the rooms as well.... More
