Happy overall.
Pros:

Friendly check-in. Great "fun" location. I'm a "preservationist" so the hotel is a classic I'd recommend. My only negative was that being solo (and it was explained somewhere), the room was "European-style" meaning smaller. But loved the vibes of the classic building.

Cons:

Room could have been a little bigger. The shower is neat with all of the sprays BUT trying to figure how to turn on the water took a little figuring out.

Pros:

Muy buen servicio al cliente.

Cons:

El lugar era muy pequeño para el costo, pero comprendo que también la ubicación hace que sea más costoso.

Decent but surprise charge for parking
Pros:

Check-in staff was friendly, room was generally nice. Shower was hot with good pressure

Cons:

It should be stated clearly when booking that parking is going to be an extra $19.50 for the night. We were told at check-in that this fee would be waived, but then we were charged it at check-out in the morning. I would have chosen different accommodations if I had known I'd be charged that for parking a block away from the hotel.
The shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower didn't work, which was rather inconvenient to find out when I was already in the shower. The usb ports in the desk didn't work, so I couldn't charge my phone. I should have remembered a charging block, but it would be nice if features in the room worked.
It is an old building, which has its charms, but the uneven floor under the carpeting could be an issue for anyone less stable on their feet.

Cons:

Parking was very limited. Saw 2 additional charges made and I know the room was in same condition as we received it. $250 room turned into over $350 room.

Pros:

Location is central for downtown

Cons:

It’s a bit dated and the amenities and breakfast are sub-par. We were excessively overcharged due to graduation (even though booked a year before.)

Outrageous for what we got.

Entirely decent for Syracuse parents!
Pros:

It was a decent hotel! Move and close to town and clean and lots of room - the room we got had a little living room - very nice

Cons:

You can’t buy beer/wine- and the liquor store is not a short walk. would be a good add.

Pros:

The location of the hotel was amazing!

Cons:

The staff who checked us in were super friendly and helpful. However the staff who checked us out didnt even speak so it made the check out very awkward

Pros:

Comfortable bed, quiet on the 11th floor. I also thought the staff were so accommodating.

Cons:

It was a little tired and could have done with some updating. This is just a minor issue though.

Cons:

I didn’t like the limited onsite parking. The first night that I had to use street parking my vehicle was side swiped and the driver side mirror was broken.

Was not horrible, but I probably won’t be returning.
Pros:

Lobby was nice and staff was very communicative and kind

Cons:

Our bathroom mirror was dirty and there wasn’t much lighting throughout the room, parking situation was very slim and somewhat expensive for the price we had already paid for the room.
