Just ok
Reviewed By Shellington2001This hotel could have been cleaner, fresher, & more updated. We weren’t sure about the area it was in, but after dinner and Crumbl cookies, we knew it could have been a better part of town. Continental breakfast was a cold one. For the money it was ok

Convenient for Cornell, but a little pricey
Reviewed By world tWas visiting the campus in April 2022 so we wanted to stay at the Stadler Hotel: can't beat the convenience of being on campus. The hotel is fine--nothing notable, but still okay--and the rooms are tasteful albeit small. We had a pretty dismal view of a rooftop that obscured anything but the tips of some spires, but we liked the Cornell-themed bedding (and the beds were quite comfortable--we slept well after a red-eye that morning!). That said, there were some gaps. The valet was hit and miss--I feel for them, as the cars are pretty far away, but sometimes the wait was longer than promised even despite scanning in the QR code in advance. The bar was spotty but fine for a quick beer. Check-in was not super-pleasant, but the check-out staff was very kind. I have read these are all students, so I understand the variance of customer service. But for these prices, I'd just expect a little bit more consistency in the delivery.

Very nice older Boutique Style hotel
Reviewed By MaryAnn BA very nice older hotel with a boutique feel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was very large and nicely appointed. They are repairing the roof so there was some heavy equipment around, but it did not detract from a lovely experience. They offer a free glass of wine during a happy hour. The hotel has a very pretty setting and we would definitely stay there again,

Hope to Comeback Soon
Reviewed By Guillame2012My kids wanted to go to the Strong Museum and we hit it big by choosing this hotel. The room was immaculate and modern. beds were comfy and soft. The air conditioner was quiet enough that I could sleep. There were 4 USB ports available to charge all of our devices. The shower pressure was better than in most hotels I've stayed in. There is no microwave in the rooms but one is available on the main floor. Free parking is provided. Their full hot breakfast provided a great selection of scrambled eggs, omelettes, sausages, hashbrowns, cereals, yogurts, muffins, and waffles which my kids loved. The most important part of our stay was the above-average guest service we received from the lady who served the breakfast and cooked extra sausages to the gentleman who gave my 2 sons balloons and filled them up to the general manager who helped me fix my son's watch, they went far above in providing great service making my kids happy and making us feel welcomed. They were simply awesome!!! The hotel is surrounded by a wooded area and open field which provides a quiet experience. It is only a 25 min drive into downtown Rochester. There is a Walmart around the corner if you need to pick up anything you need for your stay. I hope to book a stay at this hotel this summer when we come back to Rochester. Definitely consider this hotel!

The Hampton Inn & Suites Syracuse Dewitt hotel is nestled just off major Interstate 690, with easy access to Interstates 90 & 81, as well. Our hotel is centrally located to meet the needs of any traveler. We are just moments from the Downtown Business District as well as Syracuse University & Lemoyne College. We are just a short drive from Carousel Center Mall, NYS Fairgrounds, museums, and parks. Our hotel is built on the very sight of the old Erie Canal, which was the main thoroughfare from Albany to Buffalo in the 1800's and early 1900's. This area of Syracuse is just a bustling today! Numerous restaurants, shopping, and entertainment for both adults & children are within walking distance of the hotel. The Syracuse area offers a lot of history as well. Take a trip to our Erie Canal Museum or Salt Museum and learn a little bit about Syracuse's past. If scenery is more your thing then visit our Onondaga Lake Park, Beaver Lake Nature Center, or Green Lakes State Park.
Excellent service
Reviewed By ttravelingAwesome service on this visit! The front desk clerk sorted out a problem with our reservation, worked with housekeeping to get our room ready early, and accommodated a switch due to an HVAC issue - all in the busy week leading up to Syracuse graduation. The rooms have been refreshed since our last stay here and were very clean. Still not enough towel bars or hooks in the bathroom for more than 1 person but fortunately there are hooks in the room. (With housekeeping upon request during the stay, you need somewhere to hang your towel for re-use.) Breakfast was busy but sufficiently stocked. Easy drive to Syracuse campus and Westcott area, and also convenient to Cazenovia.
9. The Craftsman Inn & Suites

Enjoyable Stay
Reviewed By Patricia MMy husband and I were traveling to the area for a concert and needed a place to stay with our dog. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. We had only a few issues during our stay. 1) The tv is across from the bed and not visible from the living area. We asked for someone to come and move it or move the huge mirror on the wall or provide another mirror so we could see what we were hearing from the living area and we were not accommodated. 2) The bathroom sink is too close to the toilet and I almost cracked my elbow on it several times. 3) There is alot of wasted empty floor space that could have been used to expand the average sized bathroom. 4) There was no staff at the front desk at night and noone answered the interior line when we called to ask questions. This made us feel unsafe and annoyed. 5) Lastly, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant on our first night there and everything came out cold and/or overdone. The manager quickly came over and apologized profusely and assessed whether we wanted new versions of what we had ordered or new items. We chose new items that were very tasty and we gobbled them up. I highly recommend the bone-in ribeye. I also highly recommend the drinks which were enjoyable throughout the evening. The manager that we worked with was Dan and he is in fact, the man. He comped half our bill and each time we ran into him throughout our weekend stay, he came right over to check on us. He made all the difference and I therefore can recommend that if you want a delightful meal with pleasant ambiance and friendly staff, try the Craftsman Inn's own beautiful restaurant. The outside patio alone is worth a few drinks. I also recommend Vito's which is a very close drive to this hotel and they have the most delicious italian food! Bon Apetit!

Scam!!!
Reviewed By W2905LIamypWhen we received our credit card statement for our stay in May 2022 they charged us $150 smoking fee. We have never smoked in our entire lives. We tried to contact the manager several (4) times and he never returned our calls. It sounds like a scam to get more money from their customers . We will never stay here again.
