5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

Recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at the NY State Fairgrounds. I do not usually stay at Holiday Inn and much prefer Hilton or Mariott. Nevertheless, this time, the Holiday Inn Express was very near where I was visiting on business and was recommended by my host. It is a little out of the way and not really near... More

My son and I drove from Connecticut to attend 'Anime Syracuse 2012', and this hotel was perfect. You cannot beat the location. it is indeed in the middle of nowhere, but across from the hotel in the parking lot, was a Quaker Steak & Lube! My son and I have only seen one on the Travel Channel's 'Man vs Food',... More

this hotel is a few miles outside of the city and in a secluded, yet beautiful and peaceful area. The property looks new and is very clean. The breakfast is nice, especially for a 2-3 star hotel. The staff are some of the nicest people ever, very helpful and courteous. If you have a car and dont mind being outside... More

Bathroom had strong odor of dirty mop or cloth that was used to clean floor or maybe the sink and counter area. Asked front desk to take care of the smell issue but only thing done was some air freshener sprayed.

This hotel is absolutely dope! Just got back from a 2-night stay and I have no complaints. It's located in the "middle of nowhere" but is only a 10 minute drive from the Carousel Mall. There's an unreal restaurant (Quaker Steak & Lube) right behind the hotel and because you're a guest at the hotel, they give you 10% off... More

Only "negative" is actually getting to the hotel, once you are there, it is an above average Holiday Inn Express. It is a bit tricky once off the highway, and both my GPS and Google maps on my phone pinpointed the hotel on the correct road, but off a bit in it's location. But it is in clear view on... More

Great employees, awesome breakfast, very clean and well maintained rooms, pool and spa, very close to the freeway.

We travel a good amount and this was one of the better Holiday Inn Express hotels we stayed in. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the rooms were pretty standard but very clean, and the breakfast was great. We didn't use the pool but it looked pretty big for a Holiday Inn.

I am sorry to write this review, but it needs to be said. The hotel has nice "bones" and a nice lobby with a terrific breakfast.
