"We stayed one night in a property we have stayed at several years in a row for an annual event. The bathroom sink stopper didn't work. The bathtub stopper didn't work. The TV remote was a total mystery. Front desk offered to come up and help, but we were already in our PJs and did not want a stranger in the room, so no TV for us!

Top Rochester Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Rochester University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Room was super clean and quiet"

Woodcliff Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"I had an opportunity to attend a weeklong yoga training in a burg nearby and wanted quiet accommodations within an easy Uber/Lyft drive with a restaurant for an evening meal after a long day. The Woodcliff fit the bill all around! The room was not fancy, yet it was large, clean and most importantly quiet. The restaurant had a nice menu of well-prepared meals, and the staff was very attentive. The 6 days stay exceeded my expectations! There is a sweet coffee shop for a light breakfast that helped me ease into each day - which was bonus added!"

Hotel on Monroe, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best renovations I’ve seen to date. Staff was excellent and very friendly. Absolutely loved the bed and very large bathroom. Very quiet neighborhood. I accidentally left windows down on rental car one night and no one took anything from vehicle which had sunglasses. Will only stay at this location in the future. Highly recommended!!!"
