For parents of Syracuse University students who drive on I-81 North to campus, this motel offers surprising comfort and great savings especially on parents weekend, graduation and other dates when Syracuse-area hotels jack up their rates for university activities. Located at Exit 14 it may look like a glorified truck stop but in my four years of staying there it has always been clean, comfortable and incredibly quiet (especially when compared to the noise in downtown Syracuse high-rise hotel rooms). Although the hotel restaurant is closed down, there's a bank, drug store, gas station and large convenience store on the same corner and a couple of fast-food chains on the other side of the exit. It's a 20-minute ride from the Best western to the center of campus and a double room with a king-size bed can be had for around $100 a night.
