Holiday Inn Express Syracuse Airport (New York)

What is your Priority Club status?
Platinum

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes, barely

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
1 King Bed Leisure Nonsmoking - no upgrade

How are the rooms?
Worn down. Small stains on the floor and furniture. Air conditioner didn't seem to work quite well enough. But otherwise it was fine. They are advertising new beds but it seemed like any average bed to me.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A... breakfast was fine

What was good and what was bad?

Good

• Great location, right at the entrance to the airport
• Nice people
• Plenty of parking in nice weather, though I have needed to park here in the winter and it was difficult

Bad

• Surprisingly run down. Stains on the carpet in the halls; elevator dirty, smelly, and banged up... just not in good shape overall
• No upgrade even though it seemed to be only about half full
• Did I mention it was run down?

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?
Got it as a last minute booking as a reward night. It was fine but I would rather stay at the Candlewood next door or the Staybridge in Liverpool. Either is a better value and less beat up.
