I didn't have a chance to tour inside the home - must make a reservation at this time of year (winter).

The portions were good. We both felt the food was a bit bland but very fresh and healthy. The table next to us had kids and their kids meal portions are huge!

There was nobody at the front we had to wait a few minutes to be seated and after seating she moved us. She forgot the coffee for the table next to us and couldn't answer some questions about the menu. Never checked in at any point. Would give a 3.5 if I could do half stars. Would try again maybe but for dinner their dinner menu looked more interesting.

I've stayed at a Staybridge Suites before in another state and it was an excellent experience so I…read morehad solid expectations before checking into this Rochester location. It did ***not*** disappoint at all. There's so much to rave about - let's start with the A+ location - you have so many conveniences within very close walking distance - Costco Aldi Cub McDonalds and 2 sit down restaurants. And there's even more food options a short walk away. Hands down one of the best things about this hotel. Upon check in, I noticed live music from the lobby and was informed there's hospitality weeknight Monday-Wednesday where a modest offering of food and entertainment is free to guests. Now is it extravagant food? Of course not. But the fact that any FREE hot food in the evening is almost unheard with other hotel chains. I think it's a tremendous offer for guests checking in around the dinner hour to have a light snack, if they choose, without having to immediately seek out dinner options. It's a really nice way to settle in first. The property is well maintained, as are the rooms. I found my king suite to be spacious with more than enough room for work and personal needs. The only feedback I have is sound between floors. I was woken up in the middle of the night by routinely loud neighbors upstairs, which was disruptive. I remedied it by turning the central fan on auto to drown out the sound. Breakfast offerings are decent and pretty standard for free breakfast. But seeing fresh blueberries was a treat and a welcome change. I also appreciated the to go boxes set out for those who needed breakfast on the go. I never see that at other hotels. I think it's the small and meaningful gestures that make Staybridge Suites a personal favorite of mine and why it's one of my hotels of choice when I travel. If I'm back in Rochester again, I'm staying here.

I'm confused as to why so many negative reviews about this hotel. We have stayed at most hotels in…read moreRochester and this is by far the nicest, cleanest and most convenient hotel in town. The hotel is attached to a garage so you simply park and walk into the lobby. It is located downtown around several restaurants and shops. A very walkable area. The front desk is always pleasant and helpful. There is food available for purchase and free coffee always brewing. The hotel is attached to the skyway. If the weather is bad or you have appointments at the Mayo, you can simply jump into the skyway to get to other downtown locations. They have a decent size gym. The rooms are a modern, nice size with fake wood floors, (no carpet which I love) desk, office chair, bench, comforter bed and pillows, Kurig coffee maker, refrigerator, decent size bathroom with nice shower products. It has everything you need to be comfortable. The hotel also has a restaurant called Crave attached on the lobby level. The restaurant has beautiful floor to ceiling windows and a large menu. You could easily eat all week with the variety of food on the menu. The restaurant staff is great. There isn't anything negative I could say about this hotel. It is our go to hotel in Rochester.

Just returned from an exhausting day at 5:30 only to find out our room had not been touched. Bed unmade used towels on the floor. Called housekeeping and received a recording to call front desk. Waited over 10 minutes on hold. Finally got through and was told I didn't fill out a room service request! We were never told or given a room service request. In all my years of staying in a hotel a housekeeping request was never needed. Beware if you book here. It was a first time. The Marriot and Hilton were full. My husband just went for towels and it took forever. The line at check in and 6 deep with 1 person there. Not staff! No towels No housekeeping. Buyer Beware. Worst experience in a hotel in decades

When checked in, rate was $30 higher a night than was quoted originally. Told employee rate I was quoted. She was by herself at front desk and line of people. So get that she was stressed but didn't exhibit good customer service. Recommend not staying in 410 unless sound sleeper. There's a loud noise that goes off and on at night (not the AC or fan). It's from outside of room. Moved bedding to bathroom and slept on bathroom floor. Checkout person said may have been ice maker.

Like I said- I'm used to Hilton hotels and I was quite surprised by the spaciousness, but especially the comfort of the bed! I typically don't sleep well at hotels just because the bed is so uncomfortable but this bed was just as comfortable if not more than my $8k bed at home. The suite was nice- a pull out sofa, sink, dishwasher, stove top, closest, large desk, private room with a king size bed, plus the shower and bathroom were separate with a closed door from the sink and additional closet. The room also got super cold which I appreciated because I like my hotel rooms to be at 60 degrees in the summer (crazy I know) and this was way cold even at 65! Also, free breakfast is always a plus. The only criticism I would have is that the workout facility is practically right in the lobby with windows for walls for everyone to see but I didn't plan on using it this time around so it wasn't that big of a deal but if I had I may have felt a tad uncomfortable but not because the clientele, just feeling like everyone can see in. I would stay again.
