The staff were very nice and helpful. There was 24 hour security in the lobby. There were two elevators, one was broken. The internet did not work at all and did not have a password. The phone in the room was not connected. The ice machines did not work. The locks on the door seemed flimsy. Did not feel safe.

The Wyndham on Stat St. in Rochester is not in great shape, and doesn't feel hospitable in the least. There was a good deal of signage asking to be 'patient with the progress' in their fixing things up. It appears more like neglect and general disrepair. Staff were super sweet and nice, but everything else was totally off. Only saw one other set of guests in the 24 hours we spent there. Def not going back there.

There was a mouse running around in my bathroom when I woke up to use it in the middle of the night. The light and headboard looked like they had been scratched by a large animal. I checked in online with a deposit and they asked for another check in and deposit when I arrived.

Nice upgrades but ghosted at breakfast

We had stayed at this property previously and were happy to see the upgrades! The only disappointment was breakfast. We needed to leave town fairly early so we wanted to get breakfast immediately when it opened at 6 AM. We went for breakfast about 610 and no one was to be found. Waited around about five or 10 minutes and still no one around to attend to us for breakfast so eventually left and just went for fast food. A little disappointing.

The property was being transitioned from a Holiday Inn to Wyndham property. Housekeeping did not come once during our stay, and our room did not have any soap – hand or body. The bathrooms were dirty, and there were no USB plugs to charge phones or medical equipment. The only good things are that the beds were comfortable and the front desk staff was very friendly.

A Solid Option for Downtown Rochester

It’s a little run down. One of the two elevators wasn’t working, but the one that did work was super fast. Some places look like they’re falling apart (ceiling tiles in the bathroom, for example), but the rest of the room and amenities were super. The bathroom was clean, the room was clean, the beds were clean and comfy. So if you can get past seeing things that aren’t pristine, this place is comfortable and at a great price! I do want to take a moment to brag about Mark (and the cook, never got his name) in restaurant. We decided to eat dinner in on our final night and they bent over backwards for us. (Thanks, Mark!!). The cook even made something for me that wasn’t listed on the menu, and it was outstanding. So don’t write off the prospect of eating in the restaurant down in the lobby. There was a little mix up with billing (essentially, their “system” billed us twice), but after talking with the manager on duty, he sorted it all out and by the time we checked out the issue was resolved. Thankful for management that went above and beyond to tackle this for us. Overall, we had a great time in Rochester (son had an audition at Eastman) and the proximity to everything was convenient.
