In general this hotel was just what we were looking for. But on the evening of our arrival we had a hard time finding a place to park. Another criticism is that, although the bathroom was fine and the shower was wonderful, there were no towel racks in the bathroom. Most concerning of all, however, was the very slippery surface in the shower. Absolutely dangerous. Still, decent value for the money.

Check in is via phone app. No front desk. Was remodeled but not new enough. Still looks & smells old. Has desk phone but no dial tone. Could not call for a later check out time. Not worth what I paid for it, compared to other hotels in the area. Not saying which the others are for fear they will sell out when I need to stay there.

Definitely NOT a boutique hotel.

Not a "boutique" hotel as they advertise. I would consider it a nice motel. We called in the AM to confirm the room and was told we had room V and would get an email with instructions. The link we received did not work. Our room was changed to C but we did not get the text with check in instructions until 10PM and there was nobody in the office at 9pm when we got there. Flooring was LVT but felt gritty. Carpet at the entry door would have been nice. No full length mirror. Wardrobe rack was located in bathroom with no closet. No coffee maker or microwave in room. Lighting is super bright and harsh. To turn on the bedside light you have to get out of bed and walk to the back wall. No switch that can be reached from the bed. Both lights go on at once and are very bright. Sink was clogged and would fill up. Only basic TV channels were available thru AppleTV. You had to have an your own account to watch on apps. The bathroom door is a barn door that did not cover the entire doorway and did not seal or lock so from the bed you could hear ALL the bathroom noises. The toilet flushing would wake me up. N Cars parked only a few feet from the room so in the morning when a truck was left running the fumes came in the widow. The A/C heating unit is only a few feet from the bed and VERY LOUD. If you need quit when you sleep bring ear plugs. The second level is only accessible from staircases in the back. Not convient if you have lugga
Clogged sink
Bathroom door offered no privacy or noise barrier
Lack of attention to detail
bedside lights were super bright and you had to get out of bed to turn them on

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been to about 25 different hotels in NYS, and NJ within the last year. I’ve been to almost all of the hotels near Rochester NY. This one is by far the best out of all of them. I haven’t experienced uncleanliness, cigarette smoke, or loud noises out of the 3 times I’ve stayed here. I thought for sure I’ll experience at least cigarettes smoke once out of the three times but nope! I absolutely love that!! I hate the smell of cigarettes! Anyway, the rooms are just a tad smaller than most of the places I’ve been, but still by far the best. They send a code to your phone, follow the easy instructions at the illuminated electronic key box to the left of the office door. After you punch in your code, your key box will pop open with your key inside. Pretty cool. You don’t have to talk to anyone, and most importantly you don’t have to waste time standing in line waiting for someone to check you in. It’s a super fast check in. Very convenient!

I really wanted to like this property but the check in process and in room entertainment left too much to be desired. Property is centrally located, near food, stores, and easy access to parking and transportation. My preference is to either talk with a person and get my key or have a mobile key option. I didn’t like having to get the key from a lock box that required a link to get to a code to get to the key. Call me old fashioned. Also, it was so confusing to use the TV in the room. It was some type of streaming device with multiple remote controls. As I type this I realize I might have turned into “get off my lawn” guy.
