8.8/10 Excellent! (439 reviews)
I stayed for two days at this property when I visited and I was pretty satisfied. Price was reasonable and the staff were friendly. My room could have been a little cleaner specifically the bathroom but overall I can’t complain. My kids loved the pool area and it was clean. The location is in a good area that’s tucked behind an Applebees so it’s quiet but close to shopping if you need. This isn’t my first time staying at this property and it won’t be my last.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,183 reviews)
The hotel was clean, well maintained, and well located. The room was spacious and well appointed. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The only (very minor) complaint I had was that there were no scrambled eggs at the breakfast buffet (they did have egg sandwiches), and there was only one meat option. But what they had was definitely more than adequate. I really liked the Craftsman and will definitely stay there again on trips to the Syracuse area.
