“Nice, clean modern hotel-please put up a few signs!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

Nice property, very hard to find in the dark. Could have used an additional person at the front desk when we were trying to check in at 11 PM. Would stay here again-very quiet. The beds and the pillows were a little bit sub-grade, but very clean.

“Good for a stop over”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

Location is remote, but adequate for a one night stop over from New England to Niagara. The laundry facility was great -(half way through a 3 week tour), and used both the fitness centre and the pool, and Jacuzzi - great for relaxing.
A somewhat disturbed night from other guests in the hotel with running along corridors and doors banging in the early hours.
The complimentary breakfast had a good choice.

Lordbinns,

We are glad you enjoyed your stop over at our hotel! It's nice to hear you were able to relax in our pool and hot tub. Also, thank you for letting us know about the noise in the hallway, we'll try and add more rounds through the hallways to prevent that in the future!

“All You Could Ask For & Well-run”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

My wife and I and our 2 year old twin girls stayed here for a weekend in Syracuse. It is a well-run hotel. The hotel was prepared for us and had two cribs set up in our room. The room was spotless and comfortable. Complimentary breakfast was very good with lots of choices. We used the indoor pool as well and it was clean even though the water was a bit on the cool side. If you look this hotel up on Google Maps it will appear as if it's in the middle of nowhere - it's a relatively new hotel in an area that the city appears to be redeveloping as a business park. The only nearby restaurant is the Quaker Steak and Lube right beside it. But don't let that discourage you as you can drive to the downtown in less than 10 minutes and it's relatively close to destinations such as the massive Destiny USA mall and the city zoo. Overall it's a very affordable choice and you will be taken care of by their staff.

“A well-run hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

I am here at least a couple of times a year for work, and I like this property. While the location is somewhat remote,it is pretty close to where I need to go, and it is a comfortable property. Service at the front desk is always top-rate. The room is roomy, clean, and comfortable. The bath fixture are mind, and the shower is fabulous! While it took a call to the front desk to ask how to operate the shower, the effort was worth it. Hot water through a long shower, and terrific water pressure. The air unit was quiet! Wifi was FAST, which is pretty essential for my business travel. A plus? A decent selection of snacks...and beer...in the lobby at reasonable prices. I will definitely continue to choose this property when I need to do business in Syracuse.

“Odd place but great for an hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 5, 2012

After a day of shopping in Syracuse, we couldn't wait to arrive at the hotel. This hotel is really in the middle of nowhere. Make sure you update your GPS. It would be hard to find it without one. We felt a bit uneased when we finally arrived but we must say that the front desk employee made us feel welcomed and at ease. She was very friendly and helpful with her suggestions of restaurants, which you don't have much choice of. If you arrive and are very hungry, there is one restaurant next to the hotel (Quaker Steak & Lube) which is actually very good and you get 10% off your bill when you show your hotel key. All other restaurants are 15 minutes away. The hotel is very clean with a pool which is great for the kids. The breakfast was great with a lot to choose from. Not sure I would recommend due to the fact that it is very isolated, but if need be, I would return due to the excellent customer service received and cleanliness of the whole hotel and grounds.
