Good faithful

When in Rochester, I always stay at the Hilton Garden. The location is great, near UofR’s campus and right at the medical center with restaurants nearby. I had a room on the 4th floor and there was noise either above or outside, both fitting the day and at night. It kept me up at night. The room is well equipped with coffee maker and a microwave. I love that the hotel has a pool and a well sized gym.
