How can I get cheap hotels in Rochester?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Rochester

  1. If you're looking to travel to Rochester on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $53. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $598. Staying a short amount of time in Rochester is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Rochester, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Rochester, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Rochester, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London ExCel

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London ExCel

8/10 Good
"Hotel was clean, check in was quick. It was nice to get some cookies during check in. Room size was as expected. We didn’t get the waterfront view so can’t comment on that. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Amenities in room was basic. We booked family room so sofa bed was there. Three bottled water was provided but it was not replenished for subsequent nights. While stay was fine the breakfast was average (standard British breakfast options) and it could have been better. Restaurant was overlooking waterway so was great but some more attention on cleanliness would be better. Staff were polite and friendly which was plus. The hotel has a bar and fitness centre. We didn’t use either so can’t comment on that but looked great. There is sufficient parking space (£15/night) and some charging stations if you drive EV (make sure you carry charging cables as station don’t have one and you to have to use your own). DLR station is 10 mins walk and buses accessible (5-7 mins walk). Very close to London City airport (you could see planes landing and taking off across the waterfront). Although outside is noisy due to planes landing and taking off, interestingly rooms are sound proof so you don’t hear those noises at all. Overall we were satisfied with it the stay just felt some services could be improved further to enhance the experience."
