In town for the New York State Fair and this was a great convenient option. Very friendly staff and a good free breakfast. Lots of options such as waffles, eggs, sausage, hash browns and breads. Coffee could be a bit stronger. Free wifi. The rooms are clean and efficient with a microwave and mini fridge. The room had more than 1 roll of toilet paper which a family appreciates. The bathroom has a vent and nightlight. The free parking lot is secure and also hidden from the street. The DirectTV is a bit tricky to figure it out but it has a good selection of channels for kids. Also, you can cast your own videos from a mobile phone. On this trip, I accidentally left a personal belonging behind and the staff was very helpful. We will stay again the next time we attend the fair.

Recent two night stay here. Located outside the Clinton Square area so within walking distance of the bus hub. Area not the bead hotel has a motel feel with small reception and breakfast bar area. Room itself was a decent size and bathroom functional. Lovely lady at reception who could not have been more helpful. Will be back in Syracuse and would definitely stay here again.
