    Beautiful bathroom
    Sally K.

    I'm pretty sure I'm the first to review since the new owners took over what is now the Hotel on Monroe (preciously Towpath). We stayed for a couple nights over Christmas while visiting family in town and it was a perfectly pleasant stay. The owners are a kind young couple who made us feel very welcome. Rooms are nicely updated. I especially liked the bathroom, which had high quality toiletries. We absolutely plan to stay here again in the future.

    Not quite sure what all the bad reviews are for. Needed somewhere to stay for a couple nights while we got the floors worked on for our house, and I didn't want to break the bank. Found this place for only $45/night. It looked okay online. Looked much better than staying at that drug and prostitute place near the airport for the same cost. Showed up, and it was a standard motel. Not unlike places I've stayed at in cities like NYC, San Diego, Miami, NOLA, etc - which are usually $200 more a night for the same size and amenities. Room was clean. Bed was comfy. Shower worked. Had towels and a fridge and a Keurig. TV and heat worked. Desk dude was friendly. For $45/night, this place did its job. It was also in a good location near other stuff. Yes, the place is minimal frills. You get what you pay for. Not sure what all these other reviewers were expecting for the price. If I ever need another local place to stay in a pinch, I'd def be back.

    When we showed up in Rochester without a place to stay, And all the name-brand places tried to make us pay, We told them they could sitck their high-priced lodging up their ath, And had a happy, inexpensive night at the Towpath. Family-owned, friendly, clean, decent place at the right price. I fondly remember going out on the balcony in the morning to watch it snow, coming back to shower before dinner and watching it snow, and sitting out on the balcony with a beer in the evening, watching it snow.

    It's clean. But smelly, over-priced and not worth the $80 rate - maybe for $40... Won't be back.

After making our reservation, we had tried to extend it when our plans changed, and the hotel was booked, so we had to stay over at a different hotel on the first night, which had us requesting a really early check in (~noon) and were pleasantly surprised that they were able to accommodate it. We were assigned a 2 room suite with a little kitchenette and 2 balconies. It was much too cold to sit outside, but we were pretty excited about the balconies, and hope to return to enjoy that. The room was very spacious, both the bedroom and the living room. Water temperature was good, water pressure in the shower was great. We had plenty of linens. The staff were really friendly. There is a rooftop cocktail bar with outdoor areas that it was too cold to use, but looked cute. We did eat at the restaurant and visit the cocktail bar, and enjoyed both. Note that as of Q1 2026, there is construction on the property as they renovate some of the floors. So there is a bit of dust on the elevators and some construction noise at times. This also lowers the capacity of the hotel as only about half is complete.

The innkeepeers are super friendly, and the breakfast is prepared fresh. The fruit plate isn't the best, but it's out-of-season fruits, so you do what you can. The hot dishes were very tasty--crepes one day, oven pancakes the next--but not _so_ exceptional that I'd go out of my way just for the breakfast.

    Dartmouth House is perfect!!…read more Stayed here and everything was fantastic. Highly recommend! Location: It's in a beautiful neighborhood, on a picturesque block, within walking distance to Park Avenue, which has several great restaurants and shops. Comfort: The beds are insanely comfortable (reminds me of the W Hotel beds) and the rooms are very spacious with everything you might need (Netflix, mini-fridge; closet; complimentary lux bath gel, shampoo, conditioner; iron; hairdryer, etc.). The entire place is charmingly historic but also thoroughly updated / remodeled, so everything is in perfect working order and clean/stylish. Service: Gary, the innkeeper/manager, is amazing. He treated us so well and makes the most delicious homemade muffins and eggs for breakfast! He's friendly, caring, and a great resource throughout the stay, who is accessible but not intrusive. Getting around: Like I said, great location and also very easy for Uber/Lyft to find. We were going to rent a car but honestly didn't really need one. If you do, though, there's parking on site in the back and also plenty of parking on the street. Overall, just a terrific place!!!

I had originally considered the Hampton, and 15 days before my arrival in Rochester, I discovered The Inn. It had a comparable price but maybe not as much breakfast choices. Two days later, when I went to make my reservation at the Hampton, I discovered that they raised their room rates 15% since the last time I checked... supply and demand on their part I guess. Well, that made The Inn rate more than competitive, and the obvious choice for my stay. The Inn does offer a light continental breakfast, but they offer some things I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. One was the charm of an older building with nice renovations. My room had more "character" than I would have had otherwise, and that included a large antique bathtub and a gas fireplace. Every person with whom I interacted was incredibly friendly and helpful. Vanni's Lounge downstairs was fun as well (separate review). And I got a slight discount for having a 3rd night in my reservation on a weeknight. I think that was a fair trade-off for missing out on a few Honors points.

There's plenty of parking and lots of grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Service was polite and prompt, there was generally always someone at front desk to respond to questions and check in/out. One thing to note is they have a 2nd building that doesn't have an elevator which is 2 stories. I feel like they don't advertise this but if you have trouble with stairs, it can be a bit annoying to have to go to another building and bring up your luggage via stairs. The main building is where breakfast is. The breakfast is free and include an egg protein, a sausage proton and potatoes. There's also yogurt, milk, coffee/tea, bread, cereals, granola bars, apples, oranges and bananas. The nice thing is they leave the cold food items in the fridge that you can get throughout the day. Same with cereal or prepackaged food items. The rooms themselves are clean though a bit dated. Space of the rooms is average. Overall, for the price, it was pretty good and met our expectations.

Our room unfortunately faced the street rather than the quiet courtyard. Note that this Hilton Garden Inn is next to a very big medical center and is across a historic cemetery. You would think a cemetery should be very quiet except on Halloween? Wrong. Super loud noisy sirens and honking starting before sunrise. Didn't sleep well on the first night. Asked to move to a quieter room facing the courtyard. It made all the difference. On the other hand: clean and nice pool. Not overrun by kids. No one was there in fact. Lucky us. Very nice relaxation upon arrival from the airport. Their on-site restaurant was also alright, see my other review.

The rooms and amenities are dated, don't feel the cleanest and the surrounding cast of eccentric neighbors always hanging around the entrances or drinking open liquor on the sidewalk can be a bit unnerving. Also was only told AFTER getting a breakfast plate at the buffet that I'd be charged 15 bucks was frustrating. Had I known prior, I would've gone elsewhere and not paid $15 for mediocre hotel breakfast buffet.

As we started our six hour drive from NYC to Rochester my husband logged into the app just to confirm the address and we realized the reservation was canceled! While driving we made calls to customer service who were absolutely no help. They couldn't tell us exactly why the reservation was cancelled "maybe they are doing renovations, maybe there's a new owner". The only solution they offered was for us to drive to the hotel and ask them why they canceled on us. To make matters worse, both calls ended with them hanging up on us because they claimed it was a bad connection. Once we arrived Rochester we saw that the hotel was indeed closed and undergoing renovations and under new management. Luckily we were able to make reservations at the Country Inn down the street. And our bank reversed the charges. However, I can't get over the fraud that was committed in taking our money for accommodations they knew they couldn't provide. No emails or phone calls to inform us about the closure. Also, the customer service reps were useless, and showed no concern for the seriousness of our situation.
