Wont Stay Again

I would definitely pay a little more to stay at a different place. There was no breakfast even though it was listed online. If you are allergic to animals, even though the site says no pets allowed, but there were multiple dogs all over the place. I found a stash of cat food in my room in a spot that most likely has not been cleaned in months. The smell of weed permeated throughout the building. On a good not. The beds were comfy.

Terrible

Called for late arrival, told couldn’t guarantee room because we booked with a third party and they were overbooked. Told they don’t provide breakfast. Only one roll of toilet paper in the room, we were running out and called to get more, told we couldn’t get more toilet paper until the front desk opened up at 10 am, we were were supposed to wait for 2 hours to get more toilet paper. No kleenex, no coffee maker, had an iron but no iron board. Kept being told if we caused any problems we would be kicked out. We were 3 women in our 60s-70s, we don’t cause problems. Person at front desk was outside smoking numerous times and no one at front desk. Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had.

Fine.. not great.

This was a “you get what you pay for” situation. The hotel was clean enough, but certainly wasn’t overly comfortable. They had tiny square pillows, opposed to actual pillows on the bed. The counters had cigarette burns on them, the tv seemed to have some sort of glitch. We were informed upon check in that they were over booked for the night, so they were functioning on a “first come, first serve basis”. It was quiet though, so we were able to be well rested. That was nice.

Do not stay here. Place is trap house sketchy!!! Got 3 rooms. 1st room was ok, had better had worse. 2nd room was stinky and family needed to be moved to different rooms. 3rd room had broken ac/heat, dead bugs on floor and a neighboring barking dog all night. 1. ALL occupants are required to show ID 2. Car license required as a tow truck monitors the parking lot for unauthorized vehicles. 3. If not staying, any visitors must sign in at front desk. None of our key cards worked for the outside door entry. Loading and unloading was a major hassle as we didn't want to prop the door open. Dog poop on the floor near the elevator. Tried 3x to contact front desk about it. No answer. Front desk staff were friendly when they were available. The desk was closed most of the time we were there.

Everything was on par with other motels for the price. Didn't like the fact there wasn't a single coffee maker on the property of any kind or a cup or glass in the room. Not even a plastic one. What's up with that? I would still recommend this motel for anyone staying in the Rochester area as a cheap and easy place to stay.

Halfway house or hotel???

Staff is very rude, must take a dirty towel to get a clean one and they rarely have any to give. They charge a deposit on each stay so if you pay 2 days and extend they charge another and wait over a week to issue the refund. They make each guest you have show I'd and sign in and out and do not inform you of this process, until you are not following it, then I was told that they would no longer extend me and needed to be checked out within an hour, after staying there already a couple weeks and knowing that I was planning to stay through the month. I also witnessed them locking other guests out of their room and refusing to return property. It is run like a halfway house not a hotel. Staff is very nosy and gossip about the guests.

There are better inexpensive hotels in Rochester

Required state ID to be not just shown, but photocopied and they said they'd give me the copy in the morning, but nobody was around at 6:30 for checkout. The place was more long-term stay location - lots of children, pets, grills, garbage all over. Place had an odor, sign in elevator reminded "guests" to not have their pets use the front door due to unwanted litter and other things, another sign said remember - do not put garbage in hallway as they only had service one a week. So much different than the DaysINN we stayed at just a week ago in Kansas. This was definitely the wrong choice in Rochester.
