Best Western The Inn At Rochester Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great experience there"

Holiday Inn Express Rochester - University Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We were only there for a quick stay but it was clean and quiet and the bed was very comfortable. We would stay here again."

Hilton Garden Inn Rochester/University & Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great. We didn't arrive until after midnight, but we called way ahead of time to let them know and they thanks us for informing them. Room was huge and clean. No issues whatsoever."

Staybridge Suites Rochester University by IHG

8/10 Good

"Although this hotel is comfortable and most of the staff is very friendly and accommodating, a room rate in the &300’s is still quite high given the level of amenities, furnishings, type of breakfast, etc. It is a very convenient location to the university of Rochester especially when events at the university occur at various hours of the day. For future, I plan on staying again at this hotel only if the rates are more reasonable."

Courtyard by Marriott Rochester Brighton

8/10 Good

"Came for a quick stay and honestly the only issue I had that the shower was not cleaned and when I had ask if they could come clean the shower and replace the shower curtain, no one came. Other than that mishap, the staff was super pleasant and offered me free breakfast for the shower inconvenience. Also they have a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel so that was convenient for me."

Fresh Modern Apartment - Walking Distance to U of R/Strong Hospital

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to visit our student at the UR. Really nice house (2BR) and spacious kitchen, bathroom and areas to relax. John was a great host and easy to communicate with. We'll be back."

3 bedroom -1 King,2 Queen House near Strong Memorial Hospital,Uni of Rochester

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice location, well kept house, great customer service. Would definitely stay there again."

Kiwi Cottage: country space, timeless city charm, backyard, deck, a/c

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the cottage while we moved my son in to his dorm at University of Rochester. The cottage was spacious and charming. The host included thoughtful touches like some tea and sugar in the kitchen and hand lotion in the bathrooms. We had coffee on the back porch in the morning and watched bunnies eat the clover. The location is perfect. Close to the campus and food option. We will definitely be back!"

Newly Renovated Home | 5 min to ROC Airport

8/10 Good

"Overall, the apartment was nice and exactly what we needed. However I was very disappointed with the lack of privacy due to the blinds being destroyed in the living room and bedroom, It was an eye sore and made the otherwise nice apartment look cheap, because to repair it, the space was filled in with plastic and paper bags. The main floor was also not cleaned. After my son and niece had walked on the floor, barefoot, for about 1 hour after we arrived, the entire bottom of their feet were dirty."
