This motel is great! My family and I come for the state fair every year and have never had one bad experience here! The staff there is exceptional and they really care about making your stay the best it can possibly be. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend this motel. It is close to downtown Syracuse and has a couple local hidden gems for anyone to love.

For the price of $75 this place is good. It is good for staying the night. Clean room. It's not a 5 star hotel but if you are looking for a cheap price and just sleep for night, found it to be good. Other than that, everything is good.

Both the main staff and the cleaning crew were very nice. The room was pretty amazing For this area, and there are much worse place. I stayed for 3 nights and had no problems at all. If I ever do come by this area of Syracuse again I’ll definitely go here. Overall enjoyed it a lot !

The room was quaint but much cleaner than a Hampton we stayed in last month. It seems family owned, and they were very nice. Usually when you hear something with the word 'Budget' in its name you think - you get what you pay for- but this place did not follow that suit. It was nice. It was clean. And the people running it were friendly and nice as well.

Over all it was a decent stay. We had no complaints at all! It's really just it's location otherwise it probably would do a little better! But over all it was a pleasant stay!!

Not bad for the area. Staff was helpful for the most part, their English is not great so communication is a little difficult at times. The housekeepers are helpful but don't do such a good job. I would suggest to keep your shoes on while in your room.

I will follow suit what other reviewers have said. This is a very clean place. I have paid a lot more for a lot less. It may not be a big deal but their blanket and sheets were both white and they were both spotless.
