Pros

Professional property management ensures maintained standards

Group room blocks and extended stay rates available

Cons

31 mile distance to Syracuse Hancock International Airport

No on-site restaurant

“This Auburn motel clearly divides opinion, but recent updates to some rooms suggest a turnaround. While not luxurious, carports are a welcome plus, especially in bad weather. If you appreciate attentive on-site owners who take pride in their property, this budget option might surprise you.”
