Disliked: Room comfort

Expected more, sadly disappointed.

We were quite disappointed with our stay here. Rooms were pricy, but good size for the 2 of us. However, it was a big disappointment that basic internet was not free, only free for membership level. Water in the room is a tease with a fee sticker. We were surprised to find there were no adaptions in the room for USB phone chargers. We checked the lamps, wall, alarm clock- no way to charge devices without a wall plug in. The bathroom sink was disconnected from the wall on both sides. Breakfast was pricey for powdered eggs, there is nothing advertising it until a staff member tells you. Very confusing. And most surprising, the AC was not working in our room until we notified the desk (as was the same for several other rooms in our traveling group). Thankfully they made a fix and our room was much more comfortable day 2. The lobby was fine-quiet- and the bar area was nice. Though our group waited quite awhile for their food.

Good central location in Rochester

Staff is friendly and helpful. Room was comfy and quiet even though we were right next to the elevator. We never heard it. Location is convenient and parking is reasonable. Not a luxurious 5 star stay but certainly adequate for our weekend. Visit Dinosaur BBQ ( within walking distance) for a great casual meal

Chrissy at the front desk was very personable and professional. She gave us free parking because she "didn't like" how our check in went. The room ran out of tissues and there were no spare boxes, the shower gel container was empty and the curtain rod for the shower was really weird and the floor gets all wet. Other than that everything was fine.

Was surprised this was a Hilton

Cleanliness was good except for plenty of mold and mildew on the bottom edges of the shower. Kleenex on bathroom counter was wet from bar soap water - little space. Staff was very friendly/enjoyable. Asked for extra pillow/blanket but never received (no spares in closet). TV was difficult to navigate (guides split into 5 channels, unable to navigate to channel via guides). In room Wi-Fi was too slow to use, one person couldn't even get to sign on page. Cell data service waffled between working and not for web pages (using T-MOBILE 5g and Verizon wouldn't get past 4g). Bed was stiff/uncomfortable/felt springs. Breakfast buffet was a mix of good and sad - eggs only edible 1 of 3 days, brown bananas, and overpriced ($15 for standard continental food). Breakfast staff was great/friendly/helpful with options.

Lacks their own parking. You have to park in the parking garage next door. Returned from a event late in the evening and had to park up on the 5th level of the parking garage. The heat/cooling was very inconsistent in some rooms. My room fine but my daughters room was HOT when got there, cooled down and then overnight became HOT again.
