Our room had a very noisy HVAC system, no microwave oven and our floor had no ice machine. On top of that, the pool was closed.

Hampton Inn & Suites Rochester Downtown
The hotel and staff were wonderful! We planned a trip to The Strong Museum which is literally right next door. It was all by 1 minute walk, best location to visit this museum - specially with small children. The breakfast options were good and food was delicious, something for everyone.

I enjoyed my stay here, the staff was friendly, it was quiet, the bed was comfortable and the exit was right next to my room for easy access to my vehicle. I would definitely stay here again.
