Clean & comfortable. Breakfast okay. Room was set on 75 when I entered. Took a while to cool down.

Holiday Inn Express Rochester - University Area by IHG
Nice room, staff very helpful and friendly. Only issue I had was it had snowed and noone had cleaned off the walkway to the parking lot. Very slippery if you weren't careful, plus about 2" of snow on it.
