Embassy Suites by Hilton Syracuse Destiny USA
Perfect wee night getaway with my 4 yo grandsons. They had a blast in the pool, loved having control of their own TV in our suite and made a big deal of getting their own food at breakfast!

The Parkview Hotel
Good location with easy access to I-81. Restaurants within walking distance or a short drive to downtown. Breakfast hours and offerings were good and there was sufficient seating. There was only one elevator, so there was usually a wait. They are renovating so there was some noise during the day ...
