Hotel Concord Syracuse, an Ascend Collection Hotel
"The breakfast was rated as "great" on the hotels.com app but turned out to be lacking. The menu has no protein options of any kind and is full of cheap carbohydrates. This alone could have been the reason I would have booked a different hotel if I'd known ahead of time."
