Top Downtown Rochester Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Rochester/Victor

10/10 Excellent

"Lobby is beautiful with an outstanding breakfast assortment. Pool and spa tub were nice amenities. The gym was well equip with Peleton bikes that my husband could use his account on. The only small issue was that the room was pretty dark. The lighting wasn’t great but it was clean and comfortable. "
