Budget Inn - Syracuse Airport

I'm not sure why all the love for this property but it is definitely "budget". The place is actually a motel, not a hotel, so be advised. The rooms are very outdated, dank, and humid. While the staff was friendly, that's about the only positive. I chose this place from the high praise reviews and it certainly would have been better to spend an extra $20 to get a far nicer place. Beds are not really beds but basically just fold-out beds, with thin mattresses and a straight, wire grid bed frame. Shampoo is a thin ketchup-pack dollop of liquid, that is impossible to open. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been updated since the 1970s, but at least the water was hot (though low pressure and an ancient showerhead). Dank lighting in the bathroom (one of the old $5 glass globes with a 40-watt bulb is the sole source of light) and though there were several lamps around the room, the room itself was pretty dark as well. The in-wall AC was loud and noisy but did the job. The highway is fifty yards off the backside of the rooms, so traffic noise is an is. The second floor is completely handicap/elderly inaccessible, with no elevator. No breakfast is provided. The ice machine is a hole in the wall near the front desk. No food to speak of at the property. Wendy's is about a 10-15 minute walk away, so plan accordingly. No airport shuttle. It's about a ten-minute drive from the terminal, so you need a car or Uber. Free parking in the lot. If you need a place to crash, it will suffice.

I was surprised by the amount of positive responses to a Budge Inn, but it they were all justified. The staff is wonderful. They even have swings, a slide and jungle gym for the kids. Definitely, a great place for the money.

The rooms have smell of smoke and it's not good when you enter. Needs some room fresheners. Other than that it's a great place to stay.

Very clean, bed was comfortable price was excellent

The owners are so wonderful, so accommodating as we arrived later than expected-11:45pm and check in ends at 11:30pm. I called and they were able to assist us. The place is so clean and cared for, fresh flowers adorning the property. Very impressed.

Old and musty. It was a last-minute booking because my plane was cancelled and all the nicer hotels were booked.

Don’t let the word budget equate with cheap or shoddy. The property is well cared for. It is well worth staying here.
