Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Rochester - Marketplace by IHG

Nice

Friendly and helpful

They canceled my reservation without notifying me. I had to scramble at 10 pm on a Friday night after a 5 hour drive to find other accommodations.

Overall good stay. However, the front door said guests would have to use their key card to enter after 10pm but the door opened without the card and no one was at the desk as far as I could tell on either night. In addition, the toilet stopped flushing late in the evening and no one answered the service call. Did not see anyone at the desk when I came back that night so did not walk out there for help. Leaving next day so informed cleanig staff and front desk when we left.

Property was outdated hard to navigate. Staff was friendly but understaffing led to him being overwhelmed with responsibilities there was a birthday party for children going on which was fine but he had too much to do and needed help. The signs don’t really direct you around the building the elevator is small and my daughter is in a wheelchair so it was barely able to fit us both with our one piece of luggage and it opens extremely close to the stairs so it was dangerous then there aren’t any signs when you get off to tell you what’s next so I had to figure out that I needed to go through another unmarked door that wasn’t handicapped accessible to find our room. I had to walk in circles up and downstairs to find an ice machine there is no indicator to show you where it was. The room is outdated and needs so upgrading. It wasn’t clean there was balls of hair in the shower and covering the drain. It’s definitely overpriced for what you walk into. Then I paid extra for breakfast which was the same free breakfast you’d receive at any other hotel chain. A disappointing stay. And being my first time staying in Rochester I’ll say next time I’ll choose another hotel. The area was great because there were so many stores and restaurants and it’s right off the highway. That was a positive and even though the staff member was overwhelmed he was extremely friendly and helpful as well as apologetic. He just needed help.

My entire 3 night stay was ruined because due to a medical emergency on the last night I had to unexpectedly leave my room at 1am and when I returned at 3:45am I discovered I left my key in my room. No one was at the front desk or anywhere in the hotel until 6am despite the online rep stating they escalated the situation to upper management at 4am. After an hour of standing at the desk with no one working, I walked behind the desk to see if I can find someone and found an UNATTENDED SPACE HEATER ON FULL BLAST. So not only was there no employee on duty, it was a major fire hazard that endangered the lives of every single guest. And when I told the online rep this they didn't do anything about it.

Nothing wrong with the property. Bed was comfy and the room was adequate. Only 1 person on duty it seemed like and the counter was often vacant if you wanted to buy snacks or a drink which was inconvenient. Otherwise it was a solid stay.

Nice hotel, a little pricey for what we got. Must have been a very busy weekend.

Close to shops

Bar was not ppen on weekends due to staffing.
