5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

very nice hotel, somewhat small, but very comfortable, clean, the stadd was very good. The breakfast was very good for what it was. location is easy to find and get around.Having never stayed at an Econo Lodege this was a pleasant surprise. The price was very much in line with the area's hotels. All the ratings that put this as a top line hotle in Rochester are correct

Room Tip: second floor is very quiet

“Great Hotel- Great Staff- Won't go broke or feel dirty for Staying here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

My friend and I met in Rochester over the weekend. We wanted a decent place to stay with out going broke over a hotel room. This place was a real treat.

Extremely nice staff, clean hallways, room and bathroom. My friend even made a comment about wondering how often they wash their shower curtains becuase it looked brand new.

The breakfast was just what we needed for two ladies. It had make you own waffles, donuts, english muffin, dry crereal, oatmeal, hard cooked eggs, coffee and juice.

The staff was always friendly and offering help with directions. They were always working on something.. I think they have just been finishing an outdoor seating area.

You can tell the owners really care about this property. I would definately return and tell friends to stay here also.

“sparkling clean with great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

The room was sparking clean, with nice furniture, fridge, micro. It was quiet, really quiet. The bed was soo comfortable. The staff helped me out of several problems i'd created for my self. The new fridge didn't work well and they replaced it immediately and gave me credit to eat at neighboring restaurant for the food i'd lost. It's so good to know that anytime i have to return, which i do, i am set up in the best place for best price, with best staff! No more searching and wondering.

“Tremendous Value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Very pleasant stay while visiting Rochester overnight. This hotel is the cheapest you will find in the area but does not compromise on quality whatsoever. They earned a 2012 award for outstanding service and rightfully deserve it; comfortable beds, great coffee, and exceptional continental breakfast made our weekend getaway so enjoyable. It is adjacent to Perkin's and within a five-minute drive of everything remarkable in Rochester. Highly recommend it!

Room Tip: If you require any sort of disability services, make sure to request a room on the first floor since...
