Best Western Rochester Marketplace Inn
Staff was amazing and friendly. Room needed work as the light over the sink didn't work and the toilet seat was the wrong size for the toilet, miscellaneous things. Otherwise a great location and a good, comfortable, quiet stay.

Hampton Inn & Suites Rochester/Victor
The first room was too hot from a faulty thermostat, but they were able to get me another room without issue. The 2nd room had a good amount of wear and tear. Some of the furniture is dated as well. Overall, the stay was clean and a good value for the price.
