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.

Nice, and slow

The young lady at the reception desk was pleasant and friendly, but didn’t appear to know her job very well. She searched her computer for a while when we arrived, and informed us that our room wasn’t available yet and to return in an hour. We returned 2 hours later, and searched the computer system again for our room. This went on for a while. She clicked something finally, and said “oh there are all the rooms”. Like I said, she was very pleasant and friendly. Perhaps a little more training is in order.

It was fine for work - Rochester doesn’t have a lot of options, near the medical center was a better call than downtown

Loud

Bed was very hard and I heard snoring from the next trim (plus a lot of road noise). Breakfast was great!
