Upon arrival, we requested a second luggage rack. It never came. On our second day there our room was never cleaned. So all the garbage from the day before, and the beds were not maintained.

Hotel Concord Syracuse, an Ascend Collection Hotel
The hotel looks to be under renovation, so some of the areas are pretty rough looking. The room I was in appeared to have been updated rather recently, and it was decent. The staff were all very warm and welcoming.
