Randolph Hotel Liverpool/Syracuse/Airport West, Trademark
My second time staying here, definitely prefer over similar hotels in this area. Pleased with the extra clean room and lotions and soaps are nice quality. The pool is closed for a renovation. Breakfast could be better. Lobby's Water/Coffee/Teas supply needed attention. Friendly Front Desk Staff.

This property is under major renovation with the entire first floor unusable. There was major dust from the sanding that permeated throughout the entire hotel. My son and I got sick during our stay at this property.
