Unkind and harsh reception at check-in. I realize it isn't personal and the guy was not enjoying his job, however, we are guests that paid and traveled far. Wi fi keep going in and out constantly so I mostly used data. It is not in the heart of downtown where it is safe and nice, though that area is closeby. A mile makes a huge difference. We were told by Uber the area was unsafe and don't walk around there. Didn't have that clean feeling with the old carpeting, dark marks on sheets, and suspicious dirt high on walls. Though that is not a reflection of the cleaning staff. They were very kind and doing all required tasks. I'm referring to a separate deep clean or renewal. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the cable TV selections at night. Nevertheless, my son and I were at our first university visit of many so the memories of being there in Syracuse overall were beautiful.
