Residence Inn by Marriott Syracuse Downtown at Armory Square
Comfort Inn & Suites Syracuse-Carrier Circle
Very loud. Rooms echo. People running down halls, talking loudly and a car in the lot kept honking and honking and honking. Place has on overall odor; not a good or bad odor, but the odor of like a family’s home. Not what a hotel should smell like though.

The Craftsman Inn & Suites
Room was clean but property smells and feels like an old property. Breakfast personnel not too prepared for the job. Lots of people upset for waiting 15+ min for coffee pot to be refilled. Not much variety either. Room prices way too high for the hotel quality.
