School 31 Lofts at Colors Studios
If you stay here upgrade to the luxury loft. It was much better than the Microloft. The room was very big, comfortable, and fun/interesting.

Hampton Inn & Suites Rochester/Victor
The first room was too hot from a faulty thermostat, but they were able to get me another room without issue. The 2nd room had a good amount of wear and tear. Some of the furniture is dated as well. Overall, the stay was clean and a good value for the price.
