We were very happy with our stay at this hotel! Very clean, helpful staff, and comfortable beds. It is quiet and relatively away from the busy streets which means you have to walk about 10 minutes to get to the subway but it’s a gorgeous walk. We would stay here again and would definitely recommend this hotel to others!

Can’t wait to stay again

The whole staff was absolutely amazing at both hotels. We didn’t get to stay at Rochester due to some maintenance issues, however they were very accommodating and moved us to the Wellington. Both facilities were clean and beautiful. The staff were top notch at both hotels.
