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.

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.

The suite was spacious and very comfortable. No microwave in the suite and no pool. Only cold options for breakfast, except the bagels. Customer service was wonderful. The mini fridge was too small, no freezer compartment but staff were extremely accommodating for us. Of course I would stay again. Comfy suite. Thanks Sparks

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in the terrible room. The shower was weak and not hot enough. They told me to wait for 30 minutes. After one hour, it was the same lukewarm water. I complained about it. They said nobody is complaining about the hot water. They don’t even come and check the temperature. I waited another 30 minutes, nothing has changed.
