Top hotels in Westside
Super 8 by Wyndham Liverpool/Syracuse North Airport
Parking was easy. Breakfast was basic but there was McDonalds next door. Tully's a block away for great food. Staff is very friendly. I've stayed here before and will stay again in June when we come back.

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.

Hotel Concord Syracuse, an Ascend Collection Hotel
The hotel looks to be under renovation, so some of the areas are pretty rough looking. The room I was in appeared to have been updated rather recently, and it was decent. The staff were all very warm and welcoming.
