I visited this motel this past weekend for a quick over night so we could go to dinner and have wine and not drive back home to the Finger Lakes. Big mistake choosing this place. From the moment we entered we were skeptical. First, the front desk guy, an employee, not the owner examined my identification like he thought I... More

I booked through Hotwire, and utilized their "blind booking" option. I have done this nearly 100 times with Hotwire, and never once was unhappy. Consider this place the reason I am contemplating never using Hotwire again. The people were nice, and it is a family owned establishment. However, it is not a "hotel". It is a roadside, "trucker-esque" establishment that... More

Please call me as this person has also left a negative review of another Rochester hotel and what they are saying is very insulting and should not be allowed. Have you verified this as this entire review makes no sense Silas Patel President Towpath Motel 585-313-8087 More

We often stay at this hotel because it's locally owned and run, because it's close to many of the places we want to visit while in Rochester, and because it's always very clean and comfortable. Oh, and the prices are excellent. We stayed one night this past weekend and were pleased to be put in a newly renovated room. For... More

The Towpath is a modest sized hotel with a good-hearted, attentive and friendly staff. The rooms are well maintained, clean and nicely furnished, with microwaves, fridges and a simple, full service bathroom, in addition to comfortable beds. The location is great for those not wanting to be on the highway, yet with quick access to the interstate routes into the... More

Two days after I left the motel, my head began to itch, especially behind my ears and at the back and top. I thought it was hives and after 6 weeks of trying to treat it, humiliatingly, painfully discovered I was covered with headlice. The treatments have been painful, pulling with a fine tooth comb, plus I itched and scratched... More

An independent motel that is clean but spartan. The room was large and had a roll away bed included that I didn't need or want. The heater was slow to heat, very noisy and smelled very musty. I declined to use it. The wifi was often disconnecting me. For ten dollars more the Comfort Inn about a half mile away... More

Manager was very accommodating and very helpful. Good room and amenities for the price. Breakfast is simple, mostly packaged foods. Area is quiet and suburban, but within ten-twenty minutes of downtown by car or bus. Rochester's bus system is excellent, and there's a stop right outside the hotel. Would stay there again.

Very weird check in. The person on duty sat inside on the steps and cracked open a window to talk to us. The main part of the room was ok, fairly clean, but the bathroom was another story. There were hairs on the tiles in the shower. Mildew and mold on the grout and shower curtain. Toilet and sink were... More
