Top Downtown Rochester Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Henrietta/Rochester

8/10 Good

"The staff was very kind. The shower leaked and the fire doors keep closing which kept waking me up. "

Best Western Rochester Marketplace Inn

4/10 Poor

"There was no hot water for a shower. There was only one person working the desk at check in and then again at breakfast the next morning. Definitely understaffed. The bathroom tub had mold all along the under side edges. You could hear people in the hallways very easily. Would not recommend. "

School 31 Lofts at Colors Studios

10/10 Excellent

"Location of School 31 is convenient to many local activities. The re-use of the building is wonderful. Decor is fun and comfortable. We would certainly stay here again. It was a little quirky with the bathroom area being open to the rest of the room. Our room was on the road-side of the building and there was some traffic noise. The bed was very comfortable and room temperature controls were easy to use."
