Default Hotels in the Syracuse Area

The Syracuse Area has roughly 6,500+ hotel rooms. From reading over the reviews on the internet, I'd estimate that 1/3 of the hotels are good, 1/3 are OK and 1/3 are terrible. So be sure to check out the reviews online before you make reservations.

Just a quick overview of hotel locations. Most hotels in the Syracuse area aren't in ideal locations. For example: There are no commercial shopping districts directly off Interstate 81 or Interstate 90 in suburban Syracuse. Naturally hotels want easy access off major interstates. Therefore the dilemma is in the Syracuse area is this…either 1)hotels located off the interstates with virtually no major shopping centers nearby or 2) hotels on major commercial roads a little off the beaten path.

-Carrier Circle. Advantage: directly off I-90.
The main reason why the Carrier Circle area has so many hotels (about 15) is due to Syracuse's industrial past and I-90. (Carrier was once based in Syracuse and business travelers found the hotel nearby convenient.) Otherwise the location is not very close to any major shopping areas, and the general area around the hotels is run-down, industrial and ugly.

-Route 31 in Clay. Advantage: great shopping nearby and off I-481
Generally, this is the best area for hotel development but it is out of the way and many miles from downtown or SU. It has great nearby shopping, is attractive, safe and all around a nice area.

-Salina/Liverpool near I-90 and I-81. Advantage: Two Interstates
Only a couple restaurants are nearby but Carousel Mall is a couple miles away. Other than that, this area doesn’t offer much. Very old suburbs and not very attractive part of the Syracuse suburbs.

-Interstate 90- near I-690 exit. Advantage: next to the Thruway
This area is out in the middle of nowhere. Only a couple industrial parks are close by. No shopping or restaurants. Rather sparsely populated part of the area.

Where do I believe more hotels should be developed?

1) Cicero. Route 11 and Route 31 in Cicero are ideal locations for hotels, yet none have been built there in two decades. Shopping is close by and I-81 isn’t too far away either.

2) Route 31 in Clay near Great Northern Mall. Hampton Inn was recently built here and so far from reading the reviews... guests love the location near all the shopping malls.
