Burrstone Inn, Ascend Hotel Collection
4/598 Reviews
We stayed for just one night on our road trip from Michigan to Maine. Family of 4 and our Weimaraner. The two working the desk (man & woman) were so personable and helpful when I was checking us in. I’m late in getting this review in so unfortunately I can’t remember their names, but I just want to say that these two were truly great. Having our pup with us, they were sure to put us on the ground floor and near an outside door. That may not seem like a huge deal, but traveling with a dog, it makes a difference! Our room was clean and spacious, pool area was nice and the family loved the breakfast buffet. We will definitely choose a (Burrstone Inn) Ascend Hotel again.
Delta Hotels Utica
4.1/5101 Reviews
My only hopes for this hotel would that it would be clean and comfortable for a quick overnight stay. It was a GREAT stay! The front desk staff was really caring, upbeat, helpful and nice - I will even venture to say they are some of the best hospitality staff members I've encountered in a long time. They went out of their way to provide us with some random requests (a bag of ice, rollaway bed) and even called ahead of time to confirm my room preference. They really treated us like valued guests. We didn't spend much time at the hotel, but kids did use the pool, which was nice. Hotel is close to restaurants/bars (very easy walking distance - Griffin's Pub is a stone's throw and Swifty's, Ocean Blue & Ancora are not much farther) and we could see the Saranac Brewery from our room window. Parking garage seemed adequate. Didn't utilize restaurant or bar in the hotel, but the area looked nice. Doordash options are also available for late-night eats! Thanks for a great stay!
