Woodcliff Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Disappointed that the outdoor pool was closed. Great stay, beautiful property!"

Holiday Inn Express Rochester - University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the breakfast! The room was clean and seemed like it was new. Staff thoughtfully set us up in a room on a higher floor since we were staying a few nights. Didn't get to use the pool or fitness center, but the hotel was conveniently located close to RIT where our plans kept us busy."

Best Western Plus Victor Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff friendly and helpful breakfast was delicious and many choices of breakfast foods including eggs, sausage, waffles and coffee! Parking was ample and property security was great! Only issue we had was wifi though it was free,i was unable to hook to it with my android phone using Google. Staff tried to accomplish this but to no avail. Guess they have to fix whatever issue happens with people with Android phones. But again we loved our stay and pool was great!!."

School 31 Lofts at Colors Studios

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely love staying here..... it's an old school house, converted into a working production studio space, and loft apartment style hotel rooms. The beds and jetted tubs are luxurious, the thoughtfully decorated rooms retain aspects of the old school and have a beautiful vintage touch. So much creativy and good vibes. The staff is responsive and wonderful. One of my favorite spots to visit:-)"
