Embassy Suites by Hilton Syracuse Destiny USA
Aidan at the front desk check in was welcoming and personable. He conversed with me and it didn’t seem phony or an obligation as part of the job. It made a positive impression!

Super 8 by Wyndham Liverpool/Syracuse North Airport
Room was clean, front desk staff was very pleasant helpful. Bed was comfortable but room could really use some TLC - cracks in walls and ceiling, water pressure was lacking and water temp not consistent there was also no shampoo or conditioner in the shower bottles.

Marriott Syracuse Downtown
Breakfast off the menu at 11 Waters was fantastic. Beautiful, vintage, fully restored hotel. We did not attempt the 20 minute walk to campus but it was a 5 minute drive away from the University. This was the nicest hotel we have stayed in Syracuse so far.
