    a plate of food with a fork and knife

    This review is for the buffet at the casino, not the hotel. I've never been disrespected like this in my lifeeeee... It wasn't the staff or patrons.. the food was HORRIBLE. This place made Golden Corral feel like Ruth Chris. Everything offered looked like it came straight out the microwave SMH. I bet I could have went back in the kitchen and put my hand right on the stove with no worries about being burned because the damn thing hadn't been used all day lol. In the picture I added that grayish glob right below the fork was supposed to be mashed potatoes. Instead of loaded baked potatoes or potato skins they sprinkled cheese and bacon over potato chips. That was my first time ever seeing that lol. I'm crying as I type this lol. I'm not sure if it's from laughter or disgust. Even prisoners deserve a better meal than this.

    Alright. So we're here for a wedding. I'm not from Rome, NY, so I don't really know the area. The hotel looks like a classic 3 star; clean but not TOO clean. The crowd is older here, especially in the casino. I'm talking 75+. No issues with that at all, but it's worth mentioning for those who are looking to meet people while partying or gambling. The facilities are huge, but it's mainly because of the horse track and slot machines. The view from the terrace on the third floor is BEAUTIFUL, but I'm not sure how it is in the winter when it's brutally cold. The rooms are NOT good. They smell weird, the beds are very small, they weren't fully cleaned, and there was ONE outlet. ONE!!!! We had to take turns charging our phones. The air didn't work very well, so we were sweaty as heck. Also, no fan in the bathroom or iron for clothes. Lol. See ya.

    Good enough place to play some slots. If your looking for a Buffett go elsewhere. The food is not good and borderline bad.

    Went here for a friends birthday dinner that was hosted in the main dining room. This place was…read moresimply amazing and had so much character. The owners of the in were so nice and accommodating. They were great at hosting and give the guest their space. The meal and presentation was so nice. We also got to take a tour of the inn and it was so beautiful. Hopefully in the future we will get to come back and stay here!

    We have family in the area and we drive up to visit at least once a year. When we googled hotels…read moreThe RIver Edge Mansion popped up. 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.
