At check in the team member encouraged me to use the university discount when reserving for my next stay. She also attached my reservation to my points loyalty program.
East location
The staff couldn’t have been any nicer or more helpful. Easy parking beautiful setting on Genesee River ,wonderful outside fire pit would definitely stay here again
Although this hotel is comfortable and most of the staff is very friendly and accommodating, a room rate in the &300’s is still quite high given the level of amenities, furnishings, type of breakfast, etc. It is a very convenient location to the university of Rochester especially when events at the university occur at various hours of the day. For future, I plan on staying again at this hotel only if the rates are more reasonable.
They waited up for me to check in at 1am because my plane was so late arriving. And I got the cutest little towel arrangement on my bed that made me smile after a looong day of airports.
Overall great place to stay! Love the free breakfast everyday of the week, and it was delicious 😋. Plus they gave free dinner and drinks Monday thru Wednesday! It was clean and they allow pets. The atmosphere is great especially right along the river. Most important the staff was friendly and helpful. The only thing I wish is that they had a pool.
Anyone visiting Rochester should stay at this hotel. From the time I walked through the front door I was made to feel very welcome by all the staff. I was lucky enough to arrive on a Wednesday when they have their social evening with a BBQ and a couple of free beers. The manager herself and her assistant made themselves available and welcomed the guests. The hotel itself is kept clean and well maintained. The breakfast was well presented and tasty. There is a plenty of parking out the front of the hotel.
Property does not give the traveler a sense of security. Signs are posted which state parking is at your own risk. You must sign a waiver that reminds guests that parties and vaping are not allowed.
Our room was on the 1st floor, which is actually the basement. The hallway carpet was dirty and the room smelled damp and dank. In full disclosure, we did not stay.
Every time I have stayed here so far, I have really enjoyed it. Staff is friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and comfortable, breakfast is complimentary and hot. You're right on the river which is peaceful. There are happy hour specials, though we haven't been able to partake yet. They also have a small business center, free on-site laundry, a pantry with snacks to purchase, and complimentary water, tea and coffee available in the lobby 24/7. The rooms are stocked with anything you could need for your stay. Location is central to anything you might want to do in Rochester, and not too far from neighboring suburbs. If I could live here, I totally would.
The staff were all very helpful and accommodating. This is a great hotel if you want close access to the university. It has a nice river view and the pantry with fair-priced snacks and laundry are nice amenities if you have children or are staying for several nights.
My stay at Staybridge was almost perfect from beginning to end! All of the staff was SO very friendly and helpful! The free appetizers (basically a full meal) and wine was SO yummy and helpful so we didn’t have to go out. The atmosphere was wonderful and I was so delighted to find it was on a river! I didn’t want to leave! Only complaints would be the fold out couch was kind of uncomfortable (even with the two bedspreads laid down under the sheet), and I could hear people through the walls and floors late at night (I was awake, it didn’t wake me). Otherwise it was GREAT! Highly recommend!
My family and I had a huge, clean, one bedroom room that was perfect, except that the bathroom was in the room, so our kids had to walk through our room to use it. Breakfast was better than most other hotels we’ve been to, but the layout of the breakfast area is terrible, a very crowded and small area.
The location is ok, the river is pretty cool, and there is halal food across the street that was very good.
Front desk staff was very nice and helpful.
