Top Rochester Hotel Reviews

Aspen Suites

6/10 Okay

"It is a very convenient location, the staff was friendly, good breakfast and the room was clean. However, it is old and looks and feels very used, could use a complete renovation."

Kahler Grand Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The plumbing has problems. The room I was checked into on the 9th floor had a toilet that randomly ran & sometimes wouldn't flush because there was no water in the tank. Other times, even through there was water in the tank, the toilet still wouldn't flush. I was moved to another room, on the 10th floor this time. Toilet worked great, it was the shower that didn't. The water temp was fine when coming out of the faucet. However, when pulling the knob to which the water flow to the shower nozzle, the temp heavily fluctuated. It was start out scolding hot, then make a high pitched squealing sound, followed by ice cold water. Then it would switch back to scolding hot. No matter how long I let the shower run, it continued that cycle. Also, I hook my laptop into the tvs with an hdmi cord. The tv worked fine using my hdmi cable in my original room, however when I switched rooms, none of the 3 hdmi inputs on that tv worked. The maintenance staff said some tvs just don't work, but he was nice enough to bring me another tv and set it up infront of the existing tv. Only issue was that the tv he brought me had a split down the middle and the left side of the tv only displayed the color blue."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Rochester Mayo Clinic S

4/10 Poor

"The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, our toilet would not flush and had to be fixed. It ran most of the night. When I used the restroom in the lobby, the same, it ran. Breakfast, the member running breakfast approached our table three times asking that when we were done eating, that we leave. There were still members of our family eating with no lines and many empty tables so was disappointed, that our breakfast was interrupted and asked to leave several times. My daughter was also told that she could not have more food because there needed to be some for others."

AmericInn by Wyndham Rochester Near Mayo Clinic

10/10 Excellent

"Hot breakfast got a little cold. And one lightbulb in the room flickered. I’m being sarcastic. Those are tiny issues. I do wish there was half & half in the room for coffee. And I wish there was a convenience vending machine or counter for basics. But for the value I can live without those things"

Centerstone Plaza Hotel Soldiers Field - Mayo Clinic Area

4/10 Poor

"When checking in, we were informed that we weren't staying in the main building. We were sent to another building that was run down and quite old. It was clean and fine for just a night's stay, but we didn't love that we were in an entirely different building and that wasn't disclosed on Expedia. Other than that, it was fine for the price."

Spark by Hilton Rochester South

8/10 Good

"I found the hotel conveniently located - not too far from the highway 52, relatively close to shopping malls and food retailers. My room was spacious, clean, and had all I needed, that is a comfy bed, refrigerator, microwave, tv, and an iron with the stand. You could get coffee, hot water, fruits (apple and/or banana) and two bottles of water at the check in. I recommend this hotel for budget travellers looking for comfortable, short term accommodation."

Staybridge Suites Rochester - Mayo Clinic Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Staff was helpful. Love the gym. Size of pool was disappointing compared to the size of the room it’s in. Would like tea set up with the coffee station that’s available all day. Excellent place to stay if visiting Mayo Clinic. Free shuttle service."

The Berkman

6/10 Okay

"We liked the proximity to St Mary’s . For what they charge for a nights stay you’d would think parking would be included. The bed was terrible, I had such a back ache , the Doctors at St Mary’s had to give me some pain medication before my procedure even started. Room reminded me of a hotel room I had in Saigon 60 years ago. The interior just seemed cold . With that being said, I don’t think we would Book with them again."
