The Wyndham on Stat St. in Rochester is not in great shape, and doesn't feel hospitable in the least. There was a good deal of signage asking to be 'patient with the progress' in their fixing things up. It appears more like neglect and general disrepair. Staff were super sweet and nice, but everything else was totally off. Only saw one other set of guests in the 24 hours we spent there. Def not going back there.

There was a mouse running around in my bathroom when I woke up to use it in the middle of the night. The light and headboard looked like they had been scratched by a large animal. I checked in online with a deposit and they asked for another check in and deposit when I arrived.

Nice upgrades but ghosted at breakfast

We had stayed at this property previously and were happy to see the upgrades! The only disappointment was breakfast. We needed to leave town fairly early so we wanted to get breakfast immediately when it opened at 6 AM. We went for breakfast about 610 and no one was to be found. Waited around about five or 10 minutes and still no one around to attend to us for breakfast so eventually left and just went for fast food. A little disappointing.

The property was being transitioned from a Holiday Inn to Wyndham property. Housekeeping did not come once during our stay, and our room did not have any soap – hand or body. The bathrooms were dirty, and there were no USB plugs to charge phones or medical equipment. The only good things are that the beds were comfortable and the front desk staff was very friendly.

A Solid Option for Downtown Rochester

It’s a little run down. One of the two elevators wasn’t working, but the one that did work was super fast. Some places look like they’re falling apart (ceiling tiles in the bathroom, for example), but the rest of the room and amenities were super. The bathroom was clean, the room was clean, the beds were clean and comfy. So if you can get past seeing things that aren’t pristine, this place is comfortable and at a great price! I do want to take a moment to brag about Mark (and the cook, never got his name) in restaurant. We decided to eat dinner in on our final night and they bent over backwards for us. (Thanks, Mark!!). The cook even made something for me that wasn’t listed on the menu, and it was outstanding. So don’t write off the prospect of eating in the restaurant down in the lobby. There was a little mix up with billing (essentially, their “system” billed us twice), but after talking with the manager on duty, he sorted it all out and by the time we checked out the issue was resolved. Thankful for management that went above and beyond to tackle this for us. Overall, we had a great time in Rochester (son had an audition at Eastman) and the proximity to everything was convenient.

So I booked this room because of the Wyndham name. I didn’t know til I got here that it’s actually a holiday inn, they recently changed the name, not the amenities. The water in the room didn’t get hot, it hardly managed like warm. The toilet didn’t flush and we actually ended up having to use the garbage can to fill it with water to flush the toilet. Yes we could’ve complained but it was a one night stay and we discovered this around midnight after returning from the event we were in town for. No vending machines on the floors or even downstairs. They advertise a bar but at 10pm on a Friday night it was closed. The parking lot was covered in ice and my car slid all over the place trying to park between support pillars. Overall I wouldn’t stay here again at a tenth of the price let alone what I paid. I can’t say anything bad about the staff but the actual room and amenities were terrible. Look elsewhere

The staff was so unprofessional. I walked in to check in and they’re blaring rap music. I had no idea who the receptionist was as he was standing on the other side of the counter singing and dancing. I requested late check out. Verified it at check in and received a PHONE CALL at 10am as a “reminder that check out is at 11” when I stated I had late check out the lady on the phone said “and who verified that” when I said the person who checked me in she demanded I describe them so she could contact them and reprimand them. The place was dirty. Room signs broken off and all over the floor.

Good for the price

Hotel was good for the price. My room was clean with the exception of an open bar of soap in the shower. Staff in the lobby was very attentive. The breakfast for purchase had SOOOO much food for only $10, I split it and saved some for later which helped keep my travel costs down. Hotel was very quiet in Mid January so I don’t think there were many guests.

Sketchy

Reservation was for the Wyndham but the hotel is actually the Holiday Inn. No explanation was provided when I said I was confused by this. The only Wyndham sign was a banner attached to the side of the Holiday Inn building which blew off by the time we left. Employees were always asleep, playing cards or watching shows on their cell phones when we went by. The toilet didn’t flush in our room, so we moved to a different room, however garbages were never emptied and sheets were never changed. Upon leaving the hotel, my young daughter and I were approached by someone outside of the Holiday Inn/Wyndham front doors asking us to assist with rolling his weed. Also, one elevator was not working and there was a restaurant that was never open.

Stay away

This was the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. Provided credit card for incidentals which apparently didn't go through. Was woken up late at night saying that it needed to be fixed, we were in bed and asked if it could be dealt with in the morning. 7am wake up call to rudely tell us to come down and fix the problem. Room was prepaid so no fear of us skipping out. We said we would be down, then loud banging on door by security to evict us. My wife in the shower, two kids in room and treated like a criminal. Spoke to manager who said there would be a credit which never happened. Unbelievable experience.
