John Milton Inn, Syracuse

this is the grossest hotel i ever stayed in. reaked of smoke. there were stains in one bed, and hairs in another. the guy at the front desk did get us new sheets. but it was still disgusting. the bathroom was not clean.this hotel is gross. it may be cheap but it is not worth it.

The rooms are just plainThis place is just plain awful. Old, old and old. Smelly, smelly and smelly. Asked for non smoking room, got a smoking room. Ask for a refund and got an attitude along with NO REFUND! I asked for the manager and was told SHE was the manager…NOT. I have NEVER been treated so rudely in all my life!!! This place gave me the impression it was used to make porno movies in. YUCK! Save yourself the headache, no discount price is worth this place!!!

You get what you pay for$35 night outdated is not the word if you like feeling unsafe this is the place for you It was the creepiest place i have ever stayed at. Would never recommend to anybody.

I think if you are going to syracus new york on a tight budget.The John milton Inn is a great cheap hotel I have a one year old daughter and the room is very clean the housekeepers a very nice stayed in the hotel for a week and they helped out alot by bringing me things when I needed them the front desk staff was great could not have been more helpful I'm from Florida and for a good price the John Milton Inn is the place to go for your Syracuse New York stay I will come back the next time I visit Syracuse they also give you free bagels and donuts and coffee every morning they are very great staff at this hotel and dont listen to them other reviews they are old and they are a great hotel to stay in......

desk clerk was friendly and inviting. location is great right off the thru way, but the room we rented was not so nice. very dirty, bed sagged in middle and very little respect from housekeepers. will never go back nor will i reccommend this place to anyone, not even an enemy. you get what you pay for here.

My parents and I used to go to Syracuse once a year for vacation. We usually stayed at a hotel actross the street and were quite pleased with it. While driving down last weekend with my mom and I, my mom found in a hotel discount booklet this John Milton. When we saw that it was right across the street from what we were used to, we were HAPPY and headed for the hotel. Being on a tight budget, we were pleased to get a rate of $35US. The room was not new but we comprised knowing that we were not there for long. We had planned to stay only one room but decided to stay an extra night. They gave us a room on the second floor but once I told them that I was handicapped and wanted a room on the 1st floor, they said that it was available for only 1 night and it was booked for the next night. They said that they would see if they could move the next person to another room to which they did. We were exhausted when we got there so we went straitght to bed. The only noises came from the tv next door but did not last long. We could hear briefly hear people walking in the room above us. The ice machine was broken (they said that they had been were waiting 1 year to get it fix). The womand behind the counter went in the back to get some ice and filled my bucket with some. The next night, same thing happended, when I asked another woman for some ice, she said to look in the freezer next to the machine. The idea of people going in to scoop ice with their dirty hands creeped me out. I jokingly said to my mom not to look under the beds. There was a big stain on the carpet near the head of my bed. The long dresser had clearly seen better days. I said they could spruce it up by sanding it down and a coat of stain. The step down from our room was a bit high for me to manage and for my elderly mother. The sidewalk outside the room was cracked and not safe. My mother had gone out early to get some coffee and donuts. I told her not to go out alone in an unknown place. The hotel is right near the exit 35. There are a lot of shopping places and restaurants within 5-10 minutes of driving. I plan to go back ther in August as long as the place is only $35.

I can't complain too much about a place I only paid US$35 for. The rooms were basic, but clean. Some of the blankets smelled funky. The service was unexceptional (we were billed extra for our room, and it took a very long tim e to resolve). A fight broke out in front of the hotel the night we stayed, which provided some free entertainment. As much as I laughed when I read another reviewer's comment that the place's best feature was being "beside Dunkin Donuts", I have to admit, it was incredibly convenient.

John the "manager" at desk is a rude and impolite individual. The hotel is dirty, the housekeeping non-existent. If you don't mind dirty places, with a rude staff and going to a motel that appears to be designed for local prostitution and parties this is your place. If you hope to survive without catching something from the filth I'd look elsewhere!

Can't beet the price. They did not mind our pet igguanna. The office is always open and ready to help. Dunkin Donuts is right there. I spent more there then on the room. You need a place to bed down then this is the place. The room was comfortable and we controlled our own heat. The location was great. right off the thru-way, near almost everything. If I go back to Syracuse, I would definately stay here again. Concerns?---TV reception was strange, but I do not know if that was the cable service or the TV.

I was very nervous about staying here after reading some of the reviews...but... the whole area was booked up and another motel contacted the john milton and we got a room. The room was very clean, the staff was more than friendly and accomodating. I don't know where those other people stayed but it wasn't the inn I stayed in. I would and am going to stay there again
