10/10 Exceptional

Great Hotel!

This hotel was a great find. Conveniently located near the expressways. The rooms are very clean and updated, the price was reasonable, the staff was all very friendly & accommodating. Silas, the owner, even created a "courtyard" outside our room with tables since we were staying for 2 weeks. This hotel will be our "go to" when we visit Rochester

Great Stay!

The location is great, quiet neighborhood, clean room and quite comfortable bed. We had issues with the room key card, but customer service remedied this immediately. The Manzara Cafe right next door has the best Turkish coffee!

OK place to stay.

First time we have ever checked in over the phone with a locked box providing us our key. Unique experience. The hotel is worn, but clean. Stain on bedspread.

Perfect motel for a quick overnight stay

Quick overnight stay while we were in town for a sporting event. We only spent one night and for that the Hotel was perfect. Good location. Nice and clean and a central location in Rochester

4/10 Fair

Check in is via phone app. No front desk. Was remodeled but not new enough. Still looks & smells old. Has desk phone but no dial tone. Could not call for a later check out time. Not worth what I paid for it, compared to other hotels in the area. Not saying which the others are for fear they will sell out when I need to stay there.

Great decor and design.

It was in a great quiet neighborhood very clean very unique and nice hotel room would definitely go back and highly recommend anybody to go there
Thomas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like the seamless transition to get my keys. I also like the fact that the room seemed very clean when my wife and I arrived. The matress was of good quality. The bathroom door was a barn door and added some great charater to the room. The problems were the following: the television did not work, the outlet near the right side if the bed did not function properly, you could hear conversations with people in the next room, the ved countinued to creak when you moved as you slept. While i understand, " you get what you pay for," my expectations were not met with this overnight stay.

Owner was very helpful when key to our room didn't work. Great bed, nice shower. Good breakfast place a block away. We'd stay there again.

Cute hotel

The hotel was clean and comfortable. My only complaint is the sliding bathroom door either came off its track, or got stuck, multiple times.
Sara, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This was such an odd stay. There is no person at the office... just a locked door and a number to call to have them unlock a key box for you. Okay, no problem, but it is unsettling to not have someone onsite if problems arise. The hotel itself is called part of the Best Western "Signature Collection," presumably because they have done a lot of upgrades to the flooring, the walls, and the doors. It also had a heated toilet seat. Again, that would all be great but then, in contrast, we had only 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper left on the roll and no other rolls of toilet paper available. Fortunately, there was a box of Kleenex and we were only staying one night so we endured. Also, there were no wash cloths or handtowels... only bath towels and one of them was covered in stains (it clearly had been washed but was still dirty looking from all of the dark spots and rust-looking stains). There were stains on the bed linens as well (photo of my pillowcase is shown). So gross. Even if it has been washed, it needs to be thrown away if the stains don't come out in the wash. No clinet paying $200+ a night should see that when they lay down to sleep. And the pillows were cheap and super uncomfortable. The bed mattress was fine, though, no issues there, but the pillow quality was awful, the linens and towels had stains, the sink was clogged up and would make weird noises in the middle of the night like it was trying to unclog (like gurgling sounds). TV glitchy. We had to laugh or we'd cry.

6/10 Good

I really wanted to like this property but the check in process and in room entertainment left too much to be desired. Property is centrally located, near food, stores, and easy access to parking and transportation. My preference is to either talk with a person and get my key or have a mobile key option. I didn’t like having to get the key from a lock box that required a link to get to a code to get to the key. Call me old fashioned. Also, it was so confusing to use the TV in the room. It was some type of streaming device with multiple remote controls. As I type this I realize I might have turned into “get off my lawn” guy.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. The owner of the hotel was kind and welcoming guests in a very proper manner. We would definitely come back!
