A woman ran into the lobby during check in, running away from her crazy druggy boyfriend, who had just stabbed her in the arm. We were entertained sitting on back patio, watching the police try to track him down with dogs. This place needs security.

I don't remember the women's name who checked us in on Saturday, late afternoon, but she was the most professional, helpful, happiest hotel worker we have ever encountered and that's saying a lot because we travel often. The hotel is in a nice location next to a river. The room was large, clean and comfortable. We highly recommend this hotel.

Our stay at Staybridge Suites Rochester was exceptional. Staff were very accommodating and allowed us to check in early. They provided us with information about the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable for our stay. Breakfast was decent, and coffee was provided 24 hrs. Will return if back in the area.

Breakfast buffet was fresh and tasty. Hot coffee was available at all hours. Parking was easy. Location is convenient to multiple universities. Room 101 ( where we stayed ) was roomy, but the main bed is against a wall with a mechanical room on the other side that hummed all night.

We’ve had great experience at Staybridge hotels and we are adding this one to the list. Fresh baked cookies and friendly staff when you walk in. Complimentary drinks from mon-wed for guests. The room was nice with the kitchen and comfy bed. We had the river view which was nice cause you could see the university of Rochester too. Good breakfast. Deff will stay again :)

We thoroughly enjoyed the spaciousness and remoteness of room 101! Check in was seamless. Your breakfast buffet was on point. Kudos to Thomas at reception. His friendliness will never be forgotten. Unfortunately, snow clearance on the morning of 1/1/2026 was a bit remiss. We look forward to staying with you again.

The complimentary breakfast was a nice perk, though I didn’t enjoy it as much as I have at other places, my husband, however, had no complaints. The food area felt a bit cramped, but there were plenty of nice seating options available. The immediate area near the water is pleasant, but I wouldn’t recommend walking too far in other directions at night. There’s a convenience store right across the street that’s well-stocked and appears to be open 24 hours. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly and helpful. Overall, I would stay here again.

We returned to this property upon our return to Rochester. This is a very nice place. It is convenient to local eateries and shopping. It is located along the river and there is a pathway to stroll along. A breakfast buffet is offered. Unfortunately some items were missing when we went through but were filled after we left. The hotel is comfortable and the staff, friendly.

I had no idea when I reserved a room. That info needs to be on your website!!

Our room was nice and clean. Overall the stay was fine. A few things to note: Location wasn't great, there was HORRIBLE construction all around hotel/ a ripped up road, one way street was not great. The bar was not open (even on a weekend night?!) and there is no pool. (Yes, I see that is listed by the hotel as being closed permanently) The breakfast was ok, but the chef seemed rude to some other guests saying there was no additional food and to keep the lid of the food closed. There was also a very strong/odd smell in the hallway.

Breakfast existed, but basic and plain. For example, the hard boiled egg was frozen solid. Only yogurt was sweetened. No bar seevice as advertised. All workers were very nice. Not many food places or markets nearby. I can live with all of it in exchange for proximity to the college, river, and bike path/walking trail. The trail is a gem.

This was our second trip to Rochester in 6 years. We always stay at this hotel. The riverview is spectacular watching the wildfowl in the morning and evening is great. 5 mins from great restaurants.Has a bar and common area. We met our son for his birthday and had a nice celebration in the lobby. For walkers it is attached to a nice walking path across the river or in the park. The rooms were large and well layed out. Has a fitness center too! Was very clean and the breakfast had alot of variety. We highly recommend this for your next stay. We will certainly return.

We used previous reviews as our guide. Our toilet fill didn’t work during our stay. We asked for a repair within one hour of check in and someone came up and throttled the water shutoff and it would start for one occasion so that’s what we did each time for our 2 day stay. Really loud during housekeeping in the hallways. I thought it would be better

Everything about this hotel is just wonderful. From the moment I checked in to the last day I checked out. The breakfast buffet was awesome. The staff was absolutely wonderful and helpful. The room was extremely clean, new and modern. Not to forget to mention how soft the bed was...wow! I didn't want to get out of bed. I will definitely visit again.

Very pleasantly surprised with size of room, amenities, cleanliness, and firm mattress. The room was up to date and had a small kitchen with full refrigerator and sink and paper towels, sponge, and cleaning supplies. There was more, but I did not prepare any meals. The mattress was firm and comfortable. Although the bathroom was handicap accessible, it would be difficult to get a wheelchair close to the shower/tub. I would gladly stay again.

We did not stay long at Staybridge Hotel, this was a back up option since the initial stay booked through another site felt me feeling unsafe. I knew I could actually sleep with peace of mind when we pulled up to the front door. The property was beautiful and inviting. The 2hr happy hour was a pleasant addition not expecting to enjoy a free beer and pizza slice before ending the night early. I’ve saved IHG hotels in my favorites due to our lovely experience at this property.

An excellent large room with a very nice kitchen and bathroom. The linens were outstanding. Also nice to have such a large couch that could be converted into a queen-sized bed. Located near some interesting restaurants. I do wish that the hotel had dedicated pet-free rooms, as one of my family members has animal allergies. But, she didn't seem to have a reaction, so perhaps the cleaning crew does a very good job.
