We had such a wonderful stay. The hotel staff were always welcoming and treated us so well. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel was located in an excellent location: bus to airport was a 10min walk away; bars, restaurants and shops just a short stroll; it was also very quiet so not disturbed at all. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Syracuse
