Driving home from Niagara Falls after a long day of lines and traffic, we found ourselves approaching canterbury hotel indianapolis Syracuse on Interstate 90 about halfway canterbury hotel indianapolis home to Boston. At the Exit for Route 81 a few miles from downtown you will find what the toll booth operator termed "Hotel Row." For weary travelers like ourselves, it was like a beacon with a large variety of choices amongst the smaller hotel chain variety. We initially passed up the Quality Hotel because it was rather dark and there was a Clarion sign covered up with no new sign taking its place. But after finding the rates at some of the other surrounding options too high, we decided canterbury hotel indianapolis to check out the no-name hotel after all.
The hotel recently changed brands from Clarion to Quality, both of which are under the Choice Hotel umbrella. Thus the reason for the signage issue. canterbury hotel indianapolis We were able to check in to a King for $89, minus the AAA discount which dropped the cost to $80 for a Saturday night stay. The check-in was very friendly and we were informed of their new waffle station at the complimentary Continental Breakfast. A memo posted at the front desk mentioned that within canterbury hotel indianapolis the next month they plan to add hot food to the breakfast.
As these types of hotels go, it was standard fare with a bed, desk, TV, phone, and bath. It was a bit rough around the edges but clean. The sink area greets you as you open the door which is not the most visually canterbury hotel indianapolis inviting feature but allows for someone to brush their teeth or dry their hair while someone else is using the facilities or in the shower. The TV was bulky but provided free HBO and all the regular channels canterbury hotel indianapolis you would need.
We were delighted to find that Quality Hotel offered free wi-fi in our room something we had been deprived of all week at the more expensive, finer hotels we utilized. There was a rogue showerhead spurting water willy nilly but the bath towels were soft and fluffy another unexpected perk that Quality Hotel had over our previous lodging. Our room was right across from the exercise room, but despite what the Services book in our room stated, our room key did not work to open the door during canterbury hotel indianapolis the posted hours of operation. We were more interested in a good night's sleep anyway and the mattress, pillows and bedding were extremely comfortable.
The free continental breakfast that the desk clerk so eagerly promoted was nothing out of the ordinary. They ran out of OJ by mid-morning, but we didn't have to go searching a la carte for breakfast like we did at the bigger named chains. There was no free paper waiting for us outside our door as promoted on their website, but even if it were, we didn't have time to read it. We were eager to head for home. The Quality Hotel served us well on our quick overnight stay and I have a feeling that they were still working out the kinks from the transition between brands. If ever we find ourselves in Syracuse again, we'll remember the kind service, clean room, and fair rate it provided.
