Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Honestly
Okay, so, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I'm always hyper-aware of accessibility. And this is where it gets a little… tricky. They do have facilities for disabled guests, which is a HUGE plus. BUT. The details are… vague. You'd need to double-check specific room features and access points. Advantage: They try. Disadvantage: Inquiry needed.
Getting Around: A Dream (mostly)
- Airport Transfer: Yes! Thank goodness. After a long flight, a pre-arranged transfer is a game changer.
- Car Park [free of charge] + Car park [on-site]: Score! Free parking is a rare find and a serious win. The on-site option is great, too, for peace of mind. I hate hunting for parking.

More about the Spa… A Deep Dive
Here’s the thing: I’m a sucker for a good spa. And the idea of a pool with a view? Forget about it. I'm picturing myself, after a long day of exploring Liverpool, sinking into a hot tub, overlooking something beautiful. Maybe the city lights, maybe the Mersey. Either way, absolute bliss. Body scrub, body wrap, massage, foot bath… it’s a symphony of relaxation! I'm already mentally booking a whole afternoon. If they mess this spa up somehow, there'll be hell to pay.

Escape to Paradise: Cardiff Beachfront Bliss at Hampton Inn
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my absolutely chaotic, wonderfully flawed, and hopefully hilarious trip to Syracuse, New York. And let me tell you, staying at the Best Western Plus Liverpool - Syracuse Inn & Suites? Well, that's the starting point. The rest? Pure, unadulterated me.
The Syracuse Saga: A Trip to Remember (For Better or For Worse)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Hotel Room Hunt
1:00 PM: Arrival at Syracuse Airport (SYR) – Oh, the Joys of Flying! Ugh. The airport. Always a breeding ground for stress and questionable fashion choices. My flight was delayed, naturally. Which meant I spent an extra hour judging people in the pre-boarding area. (The yoga pants-wearing businessman with the fanny pack? Still processing…) Finally, finally, I landed. That sweet, sweet tarmac kiss…followed by the immediate urge for coffee.
2:00 PM: Shuttles and Shenanigans - The Transfer to Liverpool Okay, so the Best Western Plus offered a shuttle. Score! Except, this shuttle driver clearly moonlighted as a stand-up comedian. Not the funny kind. The silent-awkward-dad-joke kind. The ride was like navigating a maze of silence, punctuated by the occasional mumbled direction. I pretended to be engrossed in my phone, silently praying for deliverance.
3:00 PM: Check-In and the Ultimate Room Reveal… Maybe. The desk clerk was… well, she was trying. Bless her heart. "Here's your key, sir.” I think she was new. I was given a first-floor room that faced something that resembled an alleyway. I asked for a higher floor, because I am not a cockroach. She sighed, and made a few phone calls. Finally got a room that was a TINY bit better on the third floor so okay, I'll take it.
3:30 PM: The Room Inspection – Commence Disappointment. Let's be real, hotel rooms are always a gamble. And this one… well, let’s just say it wasn’t a winning hand. The bedspread looked like it had seen some serious action (I shudder to think what kind). The bathroom…had the faint aroma of… well, let's call it "industrial cleaner." Okay. Deep breaths. This is temporary. It’s just a place to sleep. Right?
4:00 PM: The Great Unpacking and the "I'm Not Gonna Lie, I'm Hungry" Phase Okay, food. I needed food. After the airport, the shuttle, the room… I was a hangry beast. Found some decent pizza place down the street, grabbed a local slice and went back to my room. I am not ashamed to say I ate that whole pizza in bed.
7:00 PM: Relaxing?? I attempted to relax, but the television had issues, and I was not in any shape to fight with the remote.
Day 2: Syracuse and the Pursuit of Deliciousness
8:00 AM: Breakfast Buffet – The Perils of Unlimited Carbs. The hotel breakfast buffet. A landmine of questionable eggs, rubbery bacon, and… well, let's just say I stuck to the yogurt and granola. Okay, and maybe a few mini muffins. Don't judge.
9:00 AM: Let the road trip adventures begin! - Heading to Syracuse I made it to Syracuse, and it was not the best trip in the world. I got lost. I drove some more, and got lost again. I am the worst person on Earth when it comes to directions.
11:00 AM: Exploring the Streets of Syracuse - Food and more food I found my way to the city, and there were some amazing restaurants. I ate some amazing seafood, and I went back for seconds.
2:00 PM: Heading back to the Hotel I really had to go back.
6:00 PM: Dinner and drinks. I am going to a local spot, and get a beer and get some food.
8:00 PM: Relaxing. Okay, I am done for the day… let's chill.
Day 3: Departure and the Lingering Smell of Adventure (and Possibly Industrial Cleaner)
8:00 AM: Breakfast – Another Day, Another Buffet Experiment. Okay, I promised myself I'd try the waffles today. Wish me luck…
9:00 AM: Last-Minute Hotel Room Debrief. Okay. So the room wasn't perfect. The shuttle driver was… unforgettable. The breakfast buffet was a culinary tightrope walk. But, you know what? It was all part of the adventure. I didn't get food poisoning, the bed was comfy enough and it did its job.
10:00 AM: Check Out – Farewell, Best Western Plus! The check-out was thankfully uneventful. I left behind a slightly more chaotic room than I found it. Oops.
11:00 AM: Airport Shenanigans, Round Two. Goodbye, Syracuse! My flight was on time. The airport seemed slightly less stressful. Overall, a win.
So, the Best Western Plus Liverpool - Syracuse Inn & Suites was… an experience. Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Was it memorable? You bet your sweet bippy it was. And honestly, that’s what makes a trip worth it. It’s the imperfections, the mishaps, the unexpected detours that create the best stories. Anyway. Off to plan my next adventure, and maybe invest in a better GPS system.

Liverpool's BEST Kept Secret: Luxury Suites Await! - (Or So They Say... Let's Dive In!)
Alright, Spill the Beans: Where Are These 'Luxury Suites' Even Hiding? Is It Like, Secret Agent Stuff?
Okay, okay, breathe. It's not exactly Fort Knox, although depending on your budget, it might feel like it! They're scattered around Liverpool, usually in swanky hotels – we're talking the city center stuff, the docks, maybe a hidden gem tucked away near Penny Lane (imagine!). Finding them is the first hurdle. You start looking, you think Liverpool, you think football, you think… alright, maybe a *bit* grimy. Then you stumble upon this, and you’re like, "Hang on… Liverpool's got *this*?" And then you're either ecstatic or your bank account is crying. Either way, Google is your best friend and my *personal* recommendation would be... um... hold that thought. We'll get to the nitty-gritty in a bit.
What Exactly Makes These Suites 'Luxury'? Is It Just Really, REALLY Big TVs? Because I Need to Know.
Haha! Big TVs *are* usually involved. Let's face it, a decent screen is a luxury nowadays. But no, it's more than that. Think spacious rooms, like, "could hold a small wedding" kind of spacious. Think breathtaking views – especially if you’re looking out over the Albert Dock, you could almost convince yourself you’re a billionaire (briefly). High-end furniture, perhaps a jacuzzi tub big enough to drown out your inner anxieties (highly recommend trying that, BTW). The devil is in the details, darling. Think Egyptian cotton sheets, fluffy robes you *actually* want to steal, and a minibar that isn't filled with sad little crisps and watery Diet Coke. (I'm still bitter about a minibar experience, okay?). Basically? They're designed to make you feel like a *proper* star. Even if, like me, you’re just a slightly frazzled local.
Okay, Okay, Sounds Fancy. But Are These Places Accessible? Or Do You Need to Be A Millionaire (or At Least Pretend To Be One) To Get In?
Alright, let’s get real. They’re not *cheap*. But "millionaire only"? No. (Although, if you *are* a millionaire reading this, maybe take me? Just a thought.) It really depends. Prices fluctuate wildly depending on the time of year, any big events happening in town (like a certain football match...) and the specific suite. You might find a 'deal' or a flash sale, you never know. Some are definitely accessible to those who've saved up for a special occasion. Some... well, you might need to win the lottery. Look, I spent a week researching prices last year, and I swear, the cheapest one I found had a minimum of ten thousand pounds deposit. (Kidding! ... Sort of). So yes, save your pennies, *hustle*, and stalk those booking websites! And *always* check for hidden fees! Some places sneakily add on things like “breathing fees”. (Okay, I made that up… but sometimes it feels that way!).
Give Me the Downlow on the Service. Is It Like, 'We're Too Good for You' Attitude or Actually Helpful & Friendly?
Oh, Service. That's a mixed bag, isn't it? Look, most of the places I’ve *heard* about (because, full disclosure, I haven't personally stayed in *all* of them... yet!) pride themselves on impeccable service. You're *supposed* to feel like royalty. Think discreet but attentive staff, concierge services that'll get you anything you need (within reason, of course – I doubt they can magically make the rain stop on match day...). But (and this is a big BUT), I've also heard whispers of places where the staff seem… well, less enthusiastic. Maybe they're just tired. Maybe they've dealt with one too many demanding guests. It's a gamble. Read reviews, *trust* the reviews! Pay attention to what people say about the staff. Good service can *make* your stay. Bad service can leave you wanting to scream into your ridiculously expensive pillow.
What About Food? Is the Dining Experience Worth the Hype (and the Price Tag?)
Ah, food. The ultimate test of any luxury stay! Most of these suites/hotels have their own restaurants, and *usually* they're excellent. Think Michelin-star aspirations, locally sourced ingredients, and dishes that look like works of art. But remember, you're paying for the experience, not just the food. Some places nail it: perfect service, incredible flavours, a wine list that could make a sommelier weep with joy. Others… well, let's just say I had a *particularly* disappointing risotto once. (And trust me, when you're paying those prices, disappointing risotto is a *crime*). Honestly, do your research. Check the restaurant's reviews separately. See if there are photos of the food! (Because let's be real, we're all judging the plating skills). Or... and this is a *secret* option... order a takeaway and eat it on your ridiculously large bed! No judgement here.
Are There Any Hidden Gems? Little Tips You Can Share?
Okay, this is where I get *real*. I *wish* I could give you a definitive list, like "Stay at Hotel X, Suite Y, ask for Brenda". (Brenda, if you exist, I love you). But I can't. It's a constantly shifting landscape! But here are some general tips:
- Be flexible! Off-season and midweek stays will almost always be cheaper.
- Book direct! Sometimes you get better deals bypassing the big booking sites.
- Read ALL the reviews! Not just the good ones. Look for patterns in the bad ones. Are the complaints about the same thing?
- Don’t be afraid to ask! Call the hotel. Ask about special packages, upgrades, anything!
- Go on a *reconnaissance mission*! If you're local, see if you can pop into the hotel lobby before you commit. Get a feel for the vibe.
- And, finally, *trust your gut*! If something feels off, it probably is.
Okay, Final Question: Is It Really Worth It? That Big, Expensive, Luxury Experience?
This is the million-dollar question (pun intended, given our chat!). For me? Absolutely. SometimesThe Stay Journey
