Clarion Pointe Downtown

Was surprised at how clean and well maintained the Clarion was. For the price point was expecting a moderately functional facility with dingy rooms but was extremely pleased to find a scrupulously clean bathroom and bedroom, pleasant staff, and a decent continental breakfast in the small but tidy lobby. They even gave me a complimentary full-sized bottle of wine at check-in! Will definitely stay here again!

This motel is safe and very well maintained by attentive staff (owners). The immediate surrounding area is fine and only a few short blocks from downtown Syracuse. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and amenities that all function well. I have stayed at the Crown Pointe multiple times.

I stayed here for nursing school clinicals at a nearby hospital. Right off the bat, the hotel’s parking lot was busy but well-kept. The staff was quick about checking me in. The directions to my room weren’t super clear, but I found it. This place is one of those where the rooms are off the decks, and the decks are outside. So the room doors lead right to the outside. That means noise levels can be a little high. The room itself was clean, no insects, and the bed was the usual queen bed with lots of pillows. The bathroom was very clean, and there was adequate lighting. I wasn’t thrilled with the curtains, though because they aren’t light-blocking. I had to use hair claw clips to keep the shades closed. The outer layer are decorations, they don’t close. The advertisement said there are vending machines. There aren’t. Down in the main lobby, there is a breakfast buffet with chips and candy with a drink cooler. The clerk did let me grab what I wanted and I just paid him. It was fine but the website mentions vending machines. I think because of the proximity to the hospital I would stay here again, but I didn’t feel super safe because of the fact that the doors lead outside. However the upper floors are card access, so it should be secure enough.

Clean rooms and good breakfast
