Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Parkview. We were in the area for our son's college graduation, and the hotel was conveniently located. We also saw a show at Syracuse Stage, and we were able to walk there from the hotel. The hotel is old but renovated. Lobby was beautiful. Room was very clean and spacious; bed was comfortable. The only problems we had were that the a/c unit was too loud (not broken, just way to noisy), and the noise we heard every time someone in the room above us flushed the toilet or ran the water was extremely annoying. Both of these issued affected our sleep. The back hallway leading to the parking lot also smelled very strongly of weed the first two nights that we were there. While the hotel architecture was charming, and staff was friendly, we will probably stay elsewhere next time we are in Syracuse.
