I've never stayed at a full on B&B before, and my first experience was a great one at The…read moreEllwanger. Rosemary, the owner, does a great job making sure that you get the homey ambiance in her huge mansion while still making sure you have all of the creature comforts of a modern hotel (and even more than some hotels I've stayed at!). The first thing everyone asks me when I say I stayed at a B&B is whether I had to share a bathroom and the answer is no: each room has its own bathroom and mine was great and very private with a nicely powered shower and plenty of hot water. There's strong wifi, lots of outlets in my room, a super comfy bed and fluffy, clean towels and robes, lots of toiletries and little details to make my stay homey, and slippers to pad around in (no stilettos allowed in the house). I stayed in the Traveler's Rest room, which was decorated with quirky accessories from around the world, but each room has a different decor and a different feel. Downstairs, there is coffee and tea available at all hours, and when I came home from an event there were even some cookies to enjoy. In the morning I was greeted with a gorgeous fruit plate in the dining room, the first of a multi-course sit-down breakfast. I'm thrilled to have taken the chance on an independent spot in Rochester, and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try something a little off the beaten path.

FYI Ihave not stayed here we came for a tour that MAG Rochester had. It's a lovely place and you…read morecan stay here as well. They have tried to keep some of the original touches but the house has been freshened up with modern amenities. The tour set up to check in was rather problematic. They do have parking a plus.

So very disappointing…read more Let me start by saying that I love bed-and-breakfasts, and I like how a good b&b costs about the same as a nice hotel room, but is more personal, individual, private. At least, it can be. In over fifteen years of traveling and staying at b&b's, I have seen them range from cozy and quaint to resplendent and regal. They've all been wonderful. In July I traveled to Fairport with my 3 y.o. daughter and her sitter for a local Korean daycamp. We booked a room to stay at the Clematis Inn, and my first interactions with Theda, the innkeeper, were pleasant. She was courteous and kind, even offering to bake gluten-free pastries instead of regular ones - my sitter can't have any wheat gluten. (I know how much more expensive the gluten-free flours are, so I appreciated this gesture). We discussed arrangements for my toddler's sleep and camp schedules, I mailed a check, and we eagerly awaited our vacation. Immediately after we arrived, I could sense something a bit "off" about this place. Yes, it is clean and pretty, and Yes the pastries are incredibly delicious (if I were reviewing the pastries, I'd give 5 stars) - however with comments ranging from "I keep a quartz crystal here to deflect harmful rays from my inn" to "I was a federal agent, but I am only allowed to tell my guests certain things about it" - I could see that Theda was not completely... hinged, let's say. Normally, an eccentric innkeeper would just color a good story, but I'm afraid this story ends badly. It started with the odd assertion by Theda that she was turning down other guests so that she could devote more time to us, and specifically, to my daughter. As a business owner, I found this implausible; as a mother, it was creepy. Things culminated to a head when we made up a bed with clean sheets - heaven forbid. Apparently Theda was hurt that we used sheets that were of "personal value" to her (though they were in the linen closet of a guest room), and she was offended that we did not ask her for permission to make the bed. But, the oddness took a turn for the worse when the innkeeper, between crying and yelling about her sheets, snapped at my toddler. That was the final straw for me, and we checked into a hotel that night. Travelers to Fairport, NY: beware of Theda at the Clematis Inn. You have friendlier, cleaner, more professional options elsewhere in town.

We had an excellent stay with Theda, the innkeeper. This was our second stay with her, having…read morestayed with her a couple of years ago when on a trip to the Fairport area. Theda remembered us from our prior visit when we called, and was very gracious in welcoming us back! Theda had a jug of ice water with orange slices ready and waiting in our room for us, and cut short an errand run to be there to greet us. As it was previously, the room was immaculate as was the attached bathroom. Both were beautifully decorated, and the bathroom had a whole bunch of (many organic) personal care items. The linens were very luxurious and were high quality. Breakfast each morning was delicious and made from organic, fresh, and local ingredients. She specifically purchased whole milk and fresh blueberries for our 2 year old. When she found out that our 2 year old's favorite berries were blackberries, those appeared on the table the next morning for him. She was extremely kind to our son, and went out of her way to interact with him. Theda was very helpful with local directions, activities, and places to eat while we were there which was great as it was a holiday weekend and a lot was closed. I would highly recommend a stay at the Clematis Inn!
