School 31 Lofts at Colors Studios
The shower had no knobs or fixtures, so I awkwardly used the tub because I was there for a work event, but I think it gave me an infection. There was no coffee maker in the room but they did bring me one. And the heat was on way too high, it was smothering. Otherwise it is a nice place.

Baymont by Wyndham Henrietta/Rochester
The room was clean, updated and the bathroom was very nice. Shower worked great and the soap/shampoo dispensers are a nice option (in case you left yours at home).

DoubleTree by Hilton Rochester
Yes the toilet seat was broken and it was also not properly clean. The check in time wasn’t what was advertised. The only thing that was pleasant was the staff upon arrival.
