Margaret, WASHINGTON

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I operate two Airbnbs (in addition to my day job), so I am sympathetic to the challenges of cleaning. The shower had large clumps of long dark hair in the drain (in the center of the stall, so not easy to overlook during cleaning) and there was visible fecal debris on the wall around the toilet paper holder. I had two rooms reserved for myself and my son for more than $300/room (before tax). This was very disappointing and not what I expected.

We reserved a room about 4 hours before our arrival after a long day of driving. When we arrived, we were first told that there were no rooms available - even with a confirmation. Then witnessed a weird and unprofessional front desk discussion between employees. Finally resolved by one employee physically verifying the room was clean and available. All told about a 15 minute wait after a very long day of driving. Then we were told we could eat any snacks in the room - complimentary because of our wait. There were 2 water bottles, lol. Think they were already complimentary. Thanks! Overall, the place was clean, quiet and in a great location - just need to work on their guest reception.

Good faithful

When in Rochester, I always stay at the Hilton Garden. The location is great, near UofR’s campus and right at the medical center with restaurants nearby. I had a room on the 4th floor and there was noise either above or outside, both fitting the day and at night. It kept me up at night. The room is well equipped with coffee maker and a microwave. I love that the hotel has a pool and a well sized gym.
