I came to Syracuse for two nights to visit friends, and this was the perfect place to stay. The location was amazing for solo travel, as I could walk to dinner in Armory Square and everywhere else I needed to be was just a short drive away. I was able to get parking in the little lot the first night, and the second night when it was full I had no trouble finding a spot on the street outside. My little room was so cozy and adorable, and I felt very safe. Noise was minimal and staff was friendly. I will definitely be booking here again!

Room was nice and staff was nice . The bed was uncomfortable and you shouldn’t have to pay for parking if you are a guest staying at the hotel , this is the first best western I’ve stayed at where I’ve had to pay additional charge for parking .

I greatly enjoyed the location and value of this hotel. It’s in the Armory Square downtown, close to many restaurants, bars and boutique stores (vintage video games, record store). I’ve heard parking can be a challenge. For me, it was a nice local stay where I could check out some stores, restaurants and the Landmark Theater- MJ Musocal.

I was very happy with the room, the staff, and the breakfast, especially the gluten free options. My main suggestion is that the hotel get better coffee in the breakfast room. It was weak, but I appreciate its availability 24/7.

Staff was very accommodating! Called with passport issues and they switched the name of our reservation so that the rest of the group could still attend the event and use the room that was booked.

We were in Syracuse for an event and the Best Western was a great location. There are several great restaurants nearby. The room was spacious and beds very comfortable. I would definitely come back to stay there again.
