Stopped in at 6:30 on a Saturday. Not busy- just a couple regulars at the bar. I joined them and…read morewas quickly greeted by the friendly bartender. She asked if I had ever been in before (I had not) and she gave me a run down of the menu with some recommendations. Apparently everything is homemade aside from the dessert (which comes from the nearby bakery- Biscoti's). Everyone I know who's been here loves it so I was excited. I went with an order of hot wings and a basket of onion rings. The food came out after about 15 minutes which felt very fast due to the friendly atmosphere the staff created. The wings were good sized and came in a full dozen rather than the usual 10 you see more and more, so that was nice. The sauce was just a standard hot buffalo- no reinventing the wheel here. The onion rings were the star. Nice and hot and perfectly battered. No onions slipped out of the batter when you take a bite. I'd recommend them to anyone who stops in. Total came to just about 30 dollars for the dozen wings, large basket of rings, and a soda. Seems fair for the quality and quantity of the food. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu- maybe on a Friday for their seafood specials? Would definitely recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a low-key spot with great food and a warm, local bar atmosphere.

Assisted ably by Andrea who was tending the bar and also waitressing, she explained everything about the restaurant and the specials for the week. The dining room was slow, and Andrea made sure we had everything we needed. We started with a Shock Top, an order of onion, rings, and I ordered the fresh perch dinner and my husband, the Ruben sandwich. They have a magician in the kitchen who perfectly cooks the food as everything was fabulous! The tartar sauce is house made, as is the cole slaw. Seafood is on the menu year round thus the "cans and clams" night. There is live music on weekends, so we must return! Lemon meringue pie topped off our night. Such a great yet unassuming place for dinner.

When we left the room around 10:30am, multiple housekeeping carts were in the hall, and five doors were open, which I would assume were open for turnover service. We returned at 7:50pm, and all five doors were still open, and all five rooms still as messy as they were this morning. Our room was also not turned over. After calling the front desk and letting the phone ring 11 times, I went downstairs and Syracuse's finest citizen was sitting on his arse playing on his phone. Less than two feet from the desk phone. I was told that housekeeping left for the day. I asked for towels and that was that. The owner needs to do better, especially because a top restaurant is on the premises. UPDATE: Following day, left and returned. Housekeeping "made" the bed which was actually hilariously terrible but the clincher...they left our door open. Don't know for how long. Everything seems to be here. Stopped by the front desk and the housekeeping champ shuffled some papers and I think may have realized SHE was the guilty party and walked away. This place is a joke and everyone needs to trust the reviews.

I never have reviewed a hotel before and this one was worth me doing my first one!

I stayed here overnight when visiting Syracuse and the surrounding areas for a couple days and it…read morewas a very pleasant experience. The hotel was nestled back on a "lonely road" that seems like an industrial area, however, it's a couple minutes from the thruway. This hotel was quiet, extremely clean, and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The bed was really comfortable too and I'm super picky when it comes to bed comfortability. The room was very spacious and had a fridge and a microwave. They have Dove toiletries in the bathroom. I received a welcome bag with Fritos, chocolate and two waters when I arrived. They had a 24 hour coffee station and also a water station in the lobby with cookies. The front desk associate informed me that they had a full hot/cold complimentary breakfast in the morning till 11am. She also told me that the indoor pool was open until 10pm. I checked out the pool and decided to go by a cheap bathing suit at Target to utilize the pool. The pool was small but very clean, from the floors to the pool itself, to the restroom in the pool area. There's a huge sign stating that anyone under 18 MUST be accompanied by an adult, however, some unruly teenagers were alone in the pool acting a fool and one of them was in street clothes in the pool...GROSS! They need to add to the sign that a bathing suit is required to enter the pool. Perhaps the "pool rules" should be more emphasized when checking in and/or posted OUTSIDE the door to get into the pool. I did enjoy swimming and relaxing in the pool after the annoying brats departed LOL! Parking is free and plentiful. I would definitely stay here again...maybe will do so for the State Fair!

We had never stayed at a bed and breakfast and weren't sure what to expect. This place exceeded our expectations. The mansion itself is beautiful. Every time we walked around the house we discovered more treasures, everything from the molding to antique pieces. The property has a lovely view of the Erie Canal. Each morning there was coffee waiting or us outside our door on a beautifully arranged tray. Then we went down to breakfast. I hate to repeat myself but the table was also beautifully arranged. We tried several different dishes during our stay, each one delicious. Our host, John and Rebecca, were there for our every need, without being intrusive. After running around all day It was so relaxing to return to our room each night. We asked several relatives to stop by and see the place. Our Aunt was thrilled as she had driven by hundreds of times and never been inside. She was not disappointed. One extra point. They have a friendly dog named Riley who helped us forget how much we missed our own pets. We plan to return here each time we return to Syracuse.

Decent beers on tap and practically anything you'd want in bottle (as well as almost all liquors). This bar is very laid back and pulls a mainly younger crowd (under 30) on weekends.

They always have peanuts at the bar... you can throw the shells on the floor (bartenders encourage it!). One of the few places around that stil have a shuffleboard. They also have a pool table and a couple dart boards. There are 2 bars and an outdoor patio (covered) for smokers.

The hallway to my room had very stale air, sort of musty. Several areas smelled of marijuana. I didn't see anyone and the place seemed fairly quiet. I got to the room and the door was very hard to open and close. The room is fairly larger with standard hotel decor. Everything appears to be fairly clean. The bed is really comfy. The AC seems to operate when it wants to. It's not cooling properly which would be a problem if it was hot out. No microwave in the room but there is larger size mini fridge which is a plus. There's a few blemishes here and there in the room. The side entrance door has no security lock on it, that's a negative. There is a key card device there but the door doesn't lock. Over all it's not a bad place but it's not a great place. Good for a night, maybe two. It wouldn't be my first choice to come back to. *Edit* I had to come back and update this review, and to drop it down to two stars. After about 10pm Saturday night, someone was smoking somewhere and the room was filling with cigarette stench. I tried calling the front desk but there was no answer. I quit smoking years ago and this stench is horrible to me now. My throat is still irritated from this.

It is Polish heritage month so there's a special Polish menu which I had to indulge in. I got the Polish platter and a Polish bottled beer to go with it. The platter had Kabasa, Kapusta, pierogi, a pumpernickel roll and a stuffed cabbage, all appearing to have been homemade. My husband ordered off the regular menu and got two huge pieces of haddock on a platter with two sides. Their fish selection is really good and the last time, I was there, I had the perch. The atmosphere is a little bit odd or should I say quirky? It is a very clean establishment, but the dining room is filled with tchotchkes of various sorts, including taxidermy animals and baskets of little porcelain bears. You can look around the dining room and never get bored since there is so much to see. Service was great. I would like to try their pizza that people rave about. There's always next time.
