No Muss, No Fuss Here
Only stayed one night while visiting my daughter at local university. From checkin to checkout out the staff was extremely friendly and personable. Room was very clean and the beds comfortable. I didnt partake of the continental breakfast, but I'm sure it wouldve been as good as other reviews suggested. The lobby coffee/tea area was stocked with ample selections and clean. Very centrally located to wherever I needed to go. Quiet spot off of main roads. This place is definitely on my list of places to stay while visiting Rochester.

My stay was very good. Check-in was convenient, and the room itself was clean, quiet & comfortable. Breakfast had much variety & I appreciated the 12pm check-out. Will definitely stay again soon! Thank you.

Meh
This was just not the right space for us as a family staying multiple nights. The room was spacious enough, but with no in-room coffee maker, a super tiny fridge, and the light switch on the outside of the bathroom it made it hard for us to be comfortable. This is definitely an older building with new decor, so low ceilings and some awkward refurbishments. It is in a great location making it very convenient otherwise.
