The Management was always available and ever so helpful. Especially when I had a problem with my rental car that became unsafe to drive and had to be towed. The manager made sure it was done and took possession of the keys since I had to catch a flight before the tow truck was able to retrieve the car. Kudos BW!!!

What a disastrous first night in Syracuse, night clerk was rude and dismissive. Heat was not turned on in my room and it was -3 degrees that night. I turned it on full blast for 2 hours which did nothing, I called to ask if I could switch to another room with a better heating unit and was told "the whole hotel is like that". I disagreed as the first floor, lobby and hallways were warm. Tried to sleep with 2 comforters and in my winter jacket for a few hours, couldn't get out of there fast enough. I'll never use Best Western again just based off this location in Syracuse. I didn't realize they're franchised and owned by different people. Unfortunately, they lost my business because the night clerk/owner? chose to be snippy and rude instead of solving the problem.

Decent but can do better with customer service
I don’t know if $100 is the current price for a motel kind of property. The property is decent and clean, but has very poor customer service. I didn’t find the staff friendly. The property doesn’t provide body lotion which I haven’t seen anywhere else. So if you have to stop for the night and you didn’t plan it, you might end up with a dry skin the next day. The AC / Heat system needs an update. It had a mind of its own and worked per its own automatic arrangement. Breakfast is like other comparable motels, nothing fancy but you won’t starve in the morning. Timing though was only 6-9am. In winters I find it to be short.

The hotel falsely advertises airport transportation. The is no airport tranportation - apparently guests need to make arrangements 24hrs in advance, and even with this service is only probided during limited hours. I made the request the evening before I needed the airport ride. The hotel staff made no attempt to assist. I paid 40$ for a uber ride to the airport. I do not recommend the hotel. Location is also inconvenient with nothing around.
