“Not sure why this is #1”

Holiday Inn Express Rochester

Oct 17, 2006
4/9 found this review helpful

We normally stay at the Hampton Inn in Rochester, but this time we were only staying one night, so we went with Trip Advisor's #1 rated hotel. We cannot figure out why it was rated #1. First of all, when we came into the hotel, they have a plasma TV on the wall and it was playing Porn! Actual porn! Not a good start. Then we had registered for 2 rooms through the Holiday Inn website and someone from the hotel called to confirm a week before that we had actually wanted 2 rooms and I said "yes", but when we got there, there was only 1 room reserved. Luckily, they were almost filled up, but we managed to get another one. When we got to the room, I noticed all of the pillows were down pillows, which I am highly allergic to, so after reading the sticker on the TV that said they would do anything they could to make the stay enjoyable, I called the front desk to see if the pillows were down and if so, could I please have a non-allergenic one. A basic request I thought, but apparently not. I was told by the person who answered the phone that she didn't work there (why was she answering the phone then??) and she was just training for the night and had no idea what the pillows were made of and put me on hold. She then came back and suggested I check to see if the pillow had a tag to see if it was down or not (thanks Sherlock), which I started I did, there was not a tag, but I was pretty sure it was down. She then advised me that they had no other pillows so I was out of luck. This did seem to contradict their "we'll do what ever it takes to make your experience enjoyable" sticker on the TV. So I was left without a pillow. My sister was standing at the front desk during the ordeal (and she couldn't understand who would be complaining about a pillow!) and heard that the pillows were locked in the safe (??) so they wouldn't be getting one for me. I had an obviously uncomfortable night sleep with my teeny travel pillow I brought. The next morning the breakfast was nice, but we will be staying at the Hampton Inn in Victor from now on. They have great pillows and do not play porn when the guests are walking in.

“Wonderful”

Holiday Inn Express Rochester

2/2 found this review helpful

We arrived here on a rainy horrible night and couldn't have had a warmer welcome. All the staff were friendly, so even when you walked down the corridors the housekeeping staff would say hello, and some of them said hello to us when we met them in the car park and they were just on their way to work. Our room was excellent. Very large, the bed was huge! There was a large tv which we could connect our computer to to watch films, there was a fridge and coffee maker and everything you need. Our room was very clean, and the bathroom was lovely, especially the gorgeous shower. When we checked out the staff were very pleasant and friendly again, and we enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

This hotel is just perfect, the rooms are spacious and very clean,we stayed for one nght only but i would have been happy to stay longer, the staff are very friendly, and the area restaurants are good, especialy the Italian Mario's via Abruzzi, this restaurant is fantastic, the food, the service is brilliant, and if you are from out of state they give you a fantastic jar of their pasta sauce, which is great, I don't know if I will ever be back in Rochester , but if I am this will be the place I'll stay, and I would definitely eat at Marios again.

“Love this hotel!”

Holiday Inn Express Rochester

5/5 found this review helpful

One of the best hotels in rochester ny. The staff is the best I have seen in any hotel in the area. Extremely kind and always caring. They do everythign in their power to get the guest what they want. Whether its getting directions to a landmards or advice on where to eat. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. I loved my stay with them and will always stay here as opposed to any other hotel in the area. Im a priority club member and the staff was very accomodating to my membership and gave me all the perks I deserved!!!

Coming to Holiday Inn Express after staying in a tiny hotel room in Central NY was such a relief! The room is 2.5 times bigger, it's clean and it contains a cafetiere, which is always a plus! Internet access is included in the price ($100 per night on average for a double room). It is located in the town centre and has good access to some local shops, although to get to the main shopping mall you will need a taxi (around $9 including tip). Definitely recommended.
