• Campus location, room service, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff.
• Sheets made me itch badly, elevators were very slow, 15 minutes wait; restaurant was bad.

“When the staff is so wonderful, I feel a bit guilty saying the hotel just an average. The free parking and free shuttle (with extremely friendly drivers) are huge pluses in this University location. The place is clean and room service staff and food is far superior to the restaurant (I wondered why it was empty). One broken elevator out of two totals wreaks total havoc! Darkness everywhere. The bathroom lighting is a shockingly dull yellow, like a 50's horror film; and we had to take all the lampshades off in order to read, or find items in the drawers.”

• The location and cleanliness.

“The Sheraton was up to its usual standards. The location was very convenient to the university, which we were visiting. It's also very close to restaurants and shops. It was safe and clean, I'd stay there again!”

• The whirlpool by the pool was dirty.

“It should be noted in the description that you have to pay for parking. The hotel was very comfortable and the room was very clean. The whole facility is non-smoking, which we appreciated.”

• Staff was very friendly.
• Room quality.

“This is a Motel Six with fluffy towels. Had to pay $20 additional for single bed. No fridge/mini bar, bathroom lighting was horrible, although light in shower was nice. No amenities. Everything had a charge. $3.50 to open the bottled water. Not even a mint on the pillow. It is a nice hotel, but definitely not 3 star. Wireless internet was a joke, minimal signal and kept getting dropped. Was able to use the wired internet with the hotel supplied 3 foot Ethernet cable. Bed was very comfortable.”

• Bed, towels and friendly staff.
• Amenities, internet, bathroom, fees.

“Not a 3 star hotel. More like a motel 6 with fluffy towels. Wireless Internet was a joke. Low connectivity, kept dropping out. Wired Internet was good with the 3 foot supplied internet cable. Lighting in the bathroom was horrible, although the light in the shower was nice. The mirror lighting would make anyone look bad. Bed was comfortable. Again, not a bad hotel, but definitely not 3 stars. Syracuse has got to have nicer hotels than this one.”

• Large, comfortable room.
• Mattress too soft; toilet flow too little; ditto showers.

“Hotel is okay. However, relative to its rack rates, it is too basic. No coffee shop, no shop. Large comfortable room and bathroom, but mattress not firm, toilet flow in adequate, ditto shower, rush in tub.”

“Nice hotel. Clean and friendly staff. Nothing too close as far as restaurants go. $7 a day for parking seemed a little high. I would recommend the hotel.”

• Looks clean and upscale.
• The room is so not soundproof.

“We got a bunch of noisy teenagers next door and the night was a nightmare. The room is so not soundproof and the breath of the people in next door can be heard clearly. There is a door between the room we had and the room next to it and I guess it was a suite previously and was just turned into two guest rooms by locking the door between them. Not sure whether it is just the case for the rooms with a king-size bed. The staff seemed friendly and they did almost everything to help and the security went to the next door to warn the noisy teenagers. So good luck if you are sound-sensitive.”

• Proximity to Syracuse university.
• Area around the hotel.

“We were told marshal street is the place to go. We went out right before dark to find a place to eat and it was eerie. We were asked for money by a panhandler and there was a gang of derelicts on the street corner. We didn't like the area at all and went back to the hotel right away.”

• Good location and free parking.
• Beds are too small. They put us in a room with full size beds, not queen.

“Overall the hotel was clean and has a good location. The free parking is a plus. However, why any hotel, particularly one that is supposed to be a premium establishment, would even think of purchasing full size beds is quite beyond me. The mattresses were comfortable, yes, but they are just too small for two people to sleep on. Watch out for the bottled water, they will charge you $3.00 a bottle if you drink it.”

“The hotel is conveniently located to Syracuse Univ. The pool is great, the whirl-pool is wonderful after a long day. The exercise equipment is a higher quality than most.”

• The rooms are extremely clean and comfortable.
• Breakfast would be better any place but here. Do not buy the buffet!!!

“This hotel was in a great part of downtown Syracuse. If our stay had been longer it would have been a great place to walk to most anything we could want to do. It was very welcoming with a great staff.”

• Clean, quiet comfortable room.
• No Wi-Fi, past-due-date snacks in vending machine, no free breakfast.

“The Sheraton at Syracuse University is comparable to other Sheraton hotels. My room was quiet and comfortable. It offered free high-speed Internet through Ethernet but not Wi-Fi. The vending machine was lousy, two out of three items that I purchased were past their due date. The breakfast buffet at the in-hotel restaurant was good but pricey; a free breakfast would be a nice plus.”
