Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rochester-Pittsford/Brighton, NY
The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a busy retail area which is good if you need a store for anything. The free 24 hour snacks and included breakfast make this hotel a great value. I will definitely stay here again if I find myself in the Rochester area again.

Spark by Hilton Rochester University Area
The staff was great. The room was clean. My only complaint was we had to be moved to a second room because the first room had an adjoining door to another room, and it was very loud listening to the neighboring room. But we were moved to another room with no problem.

Hotel on Monroe, BW Signature Collection
Very cute motel, rooms are small but still spacious enough. Beautiful bathroom with heated toilet seats, nice on a cold night. Beds are comfortable. Easy friendly check-in. Nice location on Monroe St with all sorts of shopping and restaurants close by and easy to get to highway. Have stayed here ...
