Rome Hotels: Where to Stay in New York

Rome, New York, sits in Oneida County in the Mohawk Valley. This guide covers the hotels in Rome, New York, we could confirm from official and booking sources. The list is short, so we say plainly what we verified and what we could not. We also explain where to stay in Rome NY if you want to be near Fort Stanwix, the Capitol Theatre, or the Griffiss business park. We do not quote rates, because rates change daily.

Where to Stay in Rome, NY

Hotels in Rome NY at a Glance

Three full-service hotels operate inside Rome itself. They are the Ramada by Wyndham Rome/Verona on South James Street, the Hampton Inn Rome on Floyd Avenue, and the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Rome on Dart Circle. Two larger casino properties sit a short drive away in Verona and Vernon.

Choose the Ramada if you want a downtown base. Choose the Hampton Inn or the Fairfield Inn and Suites if you want a newer business park setting near Griffiss International Airport. Choose a casino resort if gaming and golf matter most to your trip.

Rome has no large collection of motels in Rome NY, as some older guides claim. We explain below why we dropped two budget names from the old version of this page.

Ramada by Wyndham Rome/Verona: Downtown Hotel Near Fort Stanwix

The Ramada stands at 200 South James Street, Rome, NY 13440. Call 315-281-9954 for the front desk. The toll-free reservations line is 800-407-9832. Several booking sites still list this building under its older Quality Inn name, so you may see both names online.

Wyndham lists free breakfast, free Wi-Fi, free parking, a fitness center, and a business center. A seasonal outdoor pool is on site. A Denny’s restaurant operates inside the property and stays open around the clock according to Wyndham. Rooms include a mini fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker, a desk, and a flat-screen TV.

Pets are welcome for an extra nightly fee. Ask the hotel for the current fee and any limits before you bring an animal.

Wyndham places Fort Stanwix National Monument and the Capitol Theatre within walking distance. This makes the Ramada the best choice among hotels near Fort Stanwix. We did not find check-in and check-out times on the Wyndham page, so confirm both by phone.

Hampton Inn Rome: Business Park Hotel With an Indoor Pool

The Hampton Inn sits at 1352 Floyd Avenue, Rome, NY 13441, in the Griffiss Business and Technology Park off Route 49. Call 315-709-0000 or the toll-free line at 800-426-7866.

Two travel listings agree on check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. One listing counts 94 rooms on three floors and one meeting room. The same listings mention an indoor heated pool, a fitness room, free parking, free Wi-Fi, a breakfast buffet, and a lobby bar. The hotel also has accessible rooms, a pool ramp, and car charging.

Confirm the current breakfast hours and pet rules with the front desk. We could not load the Hilton page, so these details come from travel listings only.

Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Rome: Best for Free Breakfast

This Marriott hotel stands at 90 Dart Circle, Rome, NY 13441, in the Griffiss Business and Technology Park. Call 315-334-4244.

Marriott lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM. Guests must be at least 21 years old to check in. Breakfast is free and runs from 6:00 to 10:00 AM each day. The indoor pool is free, and the hotel also has a fitness center, a business center, a convenience store, guest laundry, and electric vehicle charging stations. Wi-Fi is complimentary.

Parking is free on site. Pets are not allowed, but service animals are welcome without a fee or paperwork. Marriott says the hotel has no shuttle service.

The hotel sits about one mile from Griffiss International Airport and about ten minutes from downtown Rome, according to Marriott. The nearest major airport is Syracuse Hancock International, roughly 47 miles away.

Casino Hotels Near Rome: Turning Stone and Vernon Downs

Two casino resorts draw many visitors who plan a Rome trip. Neither sits inside Rome. Both are short drives away, so check a map before you book.

Turning Stone Resort Casino is in Verona at 5218 Patrick Road, Verona, NY 13478. The resort website lists two hotels. The Inn at Turning Stone is the more affordable option. The Lodge at Turning Stone is an all-suite luxury hotel. The resort also lists seven restaurants, the Skana spa, and an 18-hole golf course called Shenendoah. Call the resort for current room types and policies, because we could not find a phone number on the pages we checked.

Vernon Downs Casino and Hotel is at 4229 Stuhlman Road, Vernon, NY 13476. A booking listing shows 150 rooms, an indoor pool open from 9 AM to 10 PM, five restaurants, and a casino. Check-in starts at 3 PM and check-out ends at 11 AM. Pets are not allowed except service animals. Two sources list this hotel, but neither one confirms current operating status. Call before you plan a stay here.

Old Rome Motels We Dropped and Why

The earlier version of this page named two budget places. We could not confirm either one as a safe pick today.

Relax Inn is listed at 145 East Whitesboro Street, Rome. A booking site still shows rooms, but guest reviews from mid 2025 say the property was closed. One review says police closed the building. We cannot verify the cause. Do not book this motel until the owner confirms in writing or by phone the doors are open.

The page also named a Motel 6 in Oriskany. The one booking listing we found shows the street address 5920 Airport Road, Oriskany, NY 13424, but the heading reads Sunset Inn while the title still says Motel 6. We cannot tell which name is current or whether the motel is open. Oriskany is also a separate community from Rome. We removed this motel until a second source confirms the name and status.

The old page also placed a Times Square hotel under the Rome Fairfield Inn heading. We removed the error.

Things to Do Near Your Rome Hotel

Fort Stanwix National Monument is the main sight in town. The National Park Service runs a reconstructed 18th century fort on the Oneida Carry. Visitors tour the fort buildings, watch living history programs, see museum exhibits, and join ranger-led activities. Call the park at 315-338-7730 for current hours, because we could not load a seasonal schedule. Two sources give different street numbers for the park, so rely on the park phone and a map.

The Capitol Theatre is downtown and shows up in both the Marriott and Wyndham area lists. Check the theatre calendar before you travel.

Wyndham also lists these places within driving distance of Rome. Delta Lake State Park, Fort Rickey Discovery Zoo, Heron Creek Golf Club, Lock 20 State Canal Park, Oriskany Battlefield, Erie Canal Village, and Bellamy Harbor Park. We did not verify the hours of these sites. Call each one before you go.

The Erie Canalway Trail runs near Fort Stanwix, according to the Oneida County tourism site. Walkers and cyclists can use the trail from downtown.

How to Choose Among Hotels in Rome, New York

Start with your plan. If you want to walk to Fort Stanwix and the Capitol Theatre, book the Ramada. If you arrive by air at Griffiss or work in the business park, book the Hampton Inn or the Fairfield Inn and Suites.

If you need a pool, all three Rome hotels list one, although the Ramada pool is outdoor and seasonal. If you travel with a pet, only the Ramada states a welcome, and the Hampton Inn needs a phone call.

If you want a casino stay, book at Turning Stone or Vernon Downs, and plan for a drive into Rome for sightseeing.

Book early for summer weekends and event dates. Compare current offers through the Expedia link at the top of this page. Always confirm the final details with the hotel.

Getting to Rome, New York

Marriott says Syracuse Hancock International Airport is about 47 miles from Rome. Wyndham gives about 44 miles. Plan on a rental car or a pre-arranged ride, because Rome is a small city. Griffiss International Airport sits near the business park hotels, but we did not research scheduled service there.

The Fairfield Inn and Suites has no shuttle, according to Marriott. Ask the other hotels about shuttle service when you call.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked the Marriott hotel page, the Wyndham hotel page, two travel listings for the Hampton Inn, the National Park Service and county tourism pages for Fort Stanwix, and a hotel directory for addresses. We checked booking listings for Vernon Downs, Relax Inn, and the Oriskany motel.

We did not confirm current rates, because we do not quote rates. We also did not confirm every policy. Pet rules, breakfast hours, and pool hours change often. Call the hotel to confirm any detail you need before you book.

Vernon Downs and Turning Stone details come from fewer sources than the three Rome hotels, so treat them as unconfirmed until you call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conclusion
