This is a nice hotel for the business person. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The breakfast is very good for those in a hurry or just want to relax before that hard days work or the big meeting. The rooms are clean and the bar service is good.

Stayed this past weekend for the NY EANGUS Conference. Very historic hotel. Nice rooms, very comfortable bed. The bar was terrific. Great bartender by the name of Tiffany! She rocks! Marge at the front desk is an angel! Very nice lady. Entire staff was friendly. The hotel really takes you back to a different time. A very "different" place from... More

Hotel Utica was such a nice hotel. We are a family of 4 from out of town who came to visit for a wedding being held at Hotel Utica. We had booked a single room with double queen beds, but when we got to our rooms, the beds were definitely not queen size. So instead of giving a different room,... More

First and foremost even the best hotels, which this is nor will it ever be, can be discredited by the caliber of their staff. Fran is the rudest hotel employee that I've encountered in quite some time and her attitude and superior demeanor were particularly astounding at such a sub par hotel. Yes the rooms are large as is a... More

I'm not sure of the negative reviews for this property. I was in town for an ice hockey tournament and stayed for one night at the hotel. I had no problems from start to finish.

Hotel Utica is definitely a beautiful historic hotel. The inside of the building is amazing, the rooms are spacious and clean. The downside is that the hotel is located in a very bad area of downtown, the parking lot is not secure at all and barely lit at night. The views out of every window are of crumbling abandoned buildings... More

Went to a small, intimate wedding here. It was Christmas so the lobby was decorated and really charming. Dinner was held on the Mezzanine and was delicious. Staff was very attentive. Rooms were spacious
