2nd Visit - Highly Recommend

This is my 2nd time staying here. Just as good as the first. Highly recommend. Room is spacious enough to move around in and not feel overly cramped. Nice amenities and clean. Hotel isn’t run down or dated. Cost isn't too shabby either for such a nice place. Close to many things and staff is always friendly. This will be my go-to hotel for short stays moving forward.

No Muss, No Fuss Here

Only stayed one night while visiting my daughter at local university. From checkin to checkout out the staff was extremely friendly and personable. Room was very clean and the beds comfortable. I didnt partake of the continental breakfast, but I'm sure it wouldve been as good as other reviews suggested. The lobby coffee/tea area was stocked with ample selections and clean. Very centrally located to wherever I needed to go. Quiet spot off of main roads. This place is definitely on my list of places to stay while visiting Rochester.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property has been improved since my last visit. Positives- very clean and well maintained. Negatives - free breakfast was not to my liking (would prefer hot options) and the remote on the television was difficult to get to the channel of choice. Neither of these are deal breakers but did impact my stay.
