What guests think
At Holiday Inn Express Syracuse-Fairgrounds by IHG, guests consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and plentiful complimentary breakfast, while noting the hotel’s quiet but remote industrial-location setting that’s convenient for the fairgrounds and highways yet lacks nearby dining.
Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious, though some unrenovated areas show wear and a few maintenance or noise issues appear in reviews. Cleanliness is often praised, and the complimentary breakfast stands out for quality and variety, with occasional complaints about timing or missing items. Ongoing renovations and variable pool availability are noted, and having a car helps given limited nearby dining. Expect a quiet, service-forward stay suited to events or stopovers.

The hotel is in a pretty remote area (off Rte. 690), but that should not in any way dissuade anyone from staying here. It is a very nice hotel. Staff was beyond friendly and helpful in all areas... from the front desk to the breakfast crew to housekeeping. We arrived late and they were so hospitable and made sure we got to our rooms quickly and without delay (I think our faces told the story of how exhausted we were). Breakfast was fantastic. A lot of options. They have a pancake maker, which was so cool. They have a pool and a small fitness center. Should I come back to this area, I will definitely stay here again.

I stay here every year when I’m in Syracuse for a trade show. This year I was a little surprised that they were under massive construction and wasn’t noted before I arrived but excited to see the new upgrades. Their customer service is better than any 5 star hotel I’ve stayed at. It snowed (like it always does in Syracuse) and when I went out to my truck I realized my truck windows were cleaned off, then I looked around the parking lot and saw they did everyone’s. Top notch!! Very appreciated

Room was clean and beds comfortable, breakfast was a good variety. Currently undergoing renovations - no impact to us. There was a lot of snow and parking lot/driveway were maintained. Only concern was it was almost drafty on the side of the bed nearest the windows. When the heater came on, it would be manageable but when heater shut off, it got frigid quickly.

The property is well-maintained. The lobby m, breakfast and dining areas have been updated and are attractive. We were told the first floor guest rooms have been renovated. Our room was on the third floor and not yet renovated but aside from the bathroom- it wasn’t very noticeable (that the room was outdated). The carpets were old/stained but the furniture and mattress was in good condition. Hotel is pet friendly (with $50 fee) which is very convenient. The grounds of the hotel were kept very clean and well-maintained. There is a grassy field in front of the hotel that is very overgrown it it doesn’t negatively impact the overall look of the hotel. The hotel is well-lit at night and plenty of parking. This is one of the better hotel choices in the area.

Excellent experience at this hotel. Absolutely spotless—including the hallways and elevators. Every single staff member we encountered (front desk, breakfast, and housekeeper) was super friendly and pleasant. We had a terrific stay. The property itself is in very good condition and the bathroom was well stocked with supplies.

Comfortable bed, good pillows, quiet hotel on a Saturday night. Some cosmetic issues in the bathroom - peeling wallpaper, etc - that I wouldn't have expected in a $200+ night room. Nice selection of hot breakfast. Ample parking, but was located off the beaten path and in a kind of deserted spot. Overall good for a quick night of sleep but probably wouldn't do a long stay here.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed staying here. We stayed in room 317 which is a handicap room. There was absolutely no outlets but the beds not even the lamp or desk like most hotels. I had to move the table and move lamps from the desk so my mother could plug in her sleep breathing machind. I did as the front desk for an extension cord but they had none. I was really surprised with the outlets because its a handicap room so while it was roomy, if you have people with you, you cant plug anything by the beds besides the lamp we had to move (your welcome Hyatt) to keep a lot plugged in. The room was clean and the beds were descent, I have slept in better. Front staff was friendly however breakfast staff gets 3 stars. I wont go into full detail, however 2 of the workers were definitely on the lazy side. I was really upset with breafast the first morning because we got in late so we slept in. I understand breafast closes at 10 but they didnt have to close it on us ehile we were grabbing some stuff. They could of atleast asked if we needed anything before shutting us out. I was starving. We felt like we were intruding when it wasnt even 10.

When we checked in it was pouring rain. My family sat in car while lady at front checkin kept yaking on a personal phone call. She mentioned several times to her friend that she had people waiting on her, but she kept yaking for several a long time. She was rude to continue her personal phone call. If she is getting paid, why shouldn’t she take care of customers instead of talking to friends or family?

From the front desk to the breakfast staff, we were treated with extraordinary hospitable people. The property is clean and well kept, but the location is solitary in an industrial center. Thanks to the staff or making our visit enjoyable.

Their customer service is better than any 5 star hotel I’ve stayed at. It snowed (like it always does in Syracuse) and when I went out to my truck I realized my truck windows were cleaned off, then I looked around the parking lot and saw they did everyone’s. Top notch!! Very appreciated

Eliza in the breakfast area was amazing. She was so friendly! However when we arrived Shannon at the front gave us our room key. When we got to our room it was not the one we reserved. When we went back down to inquire Shannon told us we get what we get because they were completely booked. Instead of telling us when we checked in. So we reluctantly just went back to our room. The desk chair in our room had a bodily fluid trail on it and wall was covered in trash debris. Will never stay at this location again!

Not up to the standard I’ve seen from Holiday Inn Express, but still a good hotel. A bit pricy for the quality, but maybe that was a surge pricing. Breakfast was missing some items I usually see at a HIE hotel, and the room was not quite as nice as usual. This is obviously another brand hotel that’s been purchased and rebranded, and they’ve done their best. The real downside is the location. It’s not convenient to the freeway, and not near any services except a sports bar a short walk away. Basically this is in the sticks.

Comfortable bed, good pillows, quiet hotel on a Saturday night. Some cosmetic issues in the bathroom - peeling wallpaper, etc - that I wouldn't have expected in a $200+ night room. Nice selection of hot breakfast. Ample parking, but was located off the beaten path and in a kind of deserted spot. Overall good for a quick night of sleep but probably wouldn't do a long stay here.

We were traveling very late and found this hotel on Expedia. Called the front desk to let them know we would be arriving later and Katie was so sweet! She put us at ease that we would be able to check in later with no problems. Front desk clerk got us checked in quickly and was very kind. Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was great and staff were monitoring area to clean and refill food as it was taken.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed staying here. We stayed in room 317 which is a handicap room. There was absolutely no outlets but the beds not even the lamp or desk like most hotels. I had to move the table and move lamps from the desk so my mother could plug in her sleep breathing machind. I did as the front desk for an extension cord but they had none. I was really surprised with the outlets because its a handicap room so while it was roomy, if you have people with you, you cant plug anything by the beds besides the lamp we had to move (your welcome Hyatt) to keep a lot plugged in. The room was clean and the beds were descent, I have slept in better. Front staff was friendly however breakfast staff gets 3 stars. I wont go into full detail, however 2 of the workers were definitely on the lazy side. I was really upset with breafast the first morning because we got in late so we slept in. I understand breafast closes at 10 but they didnt have to close it on us ehile we were grabbing some stuff. They could of atleast asked if we needed anything before shutting us out. I was starving. We felt like we were intruding when it wasnt even 10.
