Top Downtown Rochester Hotel Reviews

Inn on Broadway

8/10 Good

"Charming hotel in downtown Rochester, with a lively speakeasy in the bottom level for evening fun. Disappointed that there were no breakfast amenities — during check-in the hotel staff had said there would be muffins and complimentary coffee in the lobby in the morning at 6am. By the time we went downstairs to explore at 7:30am, only lukewarm coffee was available- big miss IMO. There are options within walking distance, so not a dealbreaker, but as someone who looks forward to that first cup of caffeine, I was disappointed. The room was charming but the bathroom sink, which was a corner sink with a corner mirror made getting ready difficult as there’s no place to layout your toiletries etc. and if you faced the corner you didn’t see yourself in the mirror. You actually had to line yourself up on one side or the other in an awkward angle facing a very small rectangle to actually use the mirror. Again, quirky, not a dealbreaker, but you do wonder if the person who designed the room ever tried to actually stay in it. But maybe that’s part of the charm?? I like charming, but I also appreciate usability and amenities,"

Hyatt Regency Rochester

8/10 Good

"Good clean room and an easy place to stay in Rochester. Comfortable bed and all that. The place is showing its age a bit and the elevator doors could use some servicing, but everything functioned. My one complaint is that those are probably the least absorbent towels I've ever used in my life. I recommend someone from the staff actually take a new one home and try it themselves."

Spark by Hilton Rochester University Area

10/10 Excellent

"We were very impressed with the caring people at front desk. Violet and Genette were very caring. Nice vibe as you walk it. Rooms were clean, mattress comfortable, bathroom configuration was a bit odd.. Nice breakfast many choices and 24 hr coffee and tea bar. I would definitely go back!0"

Hampton Inn Rochester Webster

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful and friendly. The facility is a bit old but still nicely kept up. Plenty of parking and near restaurants and shopping. Breakfast was ok being the usual hotel eggs, sausage, and potatoes, waffles, oatmeal muffins, yogurt, coffee, juices and cereal. We enjoyed our stay."

School 31 Lofts at Colors Studios

10/10 Excellent

"A unique setting that makes a stay on the road quite enjoyable. I enjoy the spacious, open setting and feel comfortable each time I stay. If you plan to stay in more and use the kitchen, you need to pickup a few basic items such as paper towels, trash bags, napkins as only a few pieces of silverware and dishes are provided."

DoubleTree by Hilton Rochester

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here several times. The hotel is always clean and inviting. We checked in later in evening. Check process was quick ans easy. As a hotel member we received warm chocolate chip cookies. I wish there was a Gluten-free one. Our room was on the fourth floor. Both elevators were working. The room was clean. The only issue we had was that the toilet took a long time to flush. You really have to hold the handle down good. Our sink was very slow to drain. Beds and pillows were comfy. The shower was nice."
