Room with a view??

This was our second stay at this hotel. Previously, we went with the cheaper rate & received a room on the river about 6 floors up--room was small, but view & staff were nice. This time decided to go with more expensive registration that advertised larger "suite at club level" with view of river & microwave & fridge amenities--thinking the room would be larger. Unfortunately, we got a view of the top of the parking deck & dilapidated buildings of downtown. The fridge/microwave cabinet used up space that was already not "there" in the smaller, cheaper room. Should have gone cheaper...at least I would have felt I got my money's worth...

It was okay. Nothing special. Not horrible.

The hotel restaurant, Legends, was a mess. Woefully understaffed

Convenient and good value

Good location...easy to get in and out of the city, walkable to restaurants and such. Paying to park is lame, but was only $7. Room was nice, clean, and comfortable. Staff was pleasant. Room could stand a bit more soundproofing...our neighbor's TV woke me up at the crack of dawn.

Subpar Hotel Chain Experience

Stained carpets, dirty ironing board, late airport shuttle, decor from the Reagan era, horrible plasma TV picture, no iPod docking station on room clock radio - only stayed here because of Orbitz package discount - not worth it.

A great place in Rochester

The hotel is located on the river and is as easily reached as anything in Rochester, which is a welter of short, one way streets that require a map to navigate. Everyone was friendly and cooperative.

There is not much on a weekend open, though there was a fine Caribbean restaurant just across the Main Street bridge from the hotel. The hotel restaurant serves a variety of good food.

Perfectly fine place to stay in Rochester

Service at the hotel was fine, and the room was clean and well-appointed. The restaurant in the hotel is fine, not great, but a reasonable alternative. A good place to set up shop for parents visiting college students in town.

Wedding Stay

The hotel is typical of a city that has seen the affects of losing multipal industries. It needs to be updated and moderized. The surounding area is depressed and run down. I would not stay there again
