Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Rochester - Marketplace by IHG

Most comfortable pillows ever

The property had its pros and cons. Pros: its not far from shopping or restaurants. Its right off a major highway so you have plenty of restaurants and coffee shops to choose from. Wegmans and walmart are about a 5-7 min drive away, while Costco is more of a 10-15 min drive. RIT is a 10 minute ride while U of R is more 15. There is a 5 minute ride either way to the highway and about 10 minute drive to the NYS thruway enterance. The place was overall clean when I got in. People seemed to be chilling all. Overall, for a pregnant mom traveling alone, I felt safe. Room comes with a microwave and a microfridge. There is a chair to relax and one to work. They have guest laundry on-site along with a pool, an elevator and a separate room off the lobby for breakfast. Even with me being near a keyholder entrance and exit, it was pretty quiet. Cons: my fridge worked well overall. My drinks stayed cold but it was broken in a few spot at the top. One of me bedside lamps didn't work, which was fine for me, I just stayed on the other side of the bed but if you are traveling as couple of family, its something to look out for. Breakfast was hit or miss. I booked through expedia, so breakfast was free for me but as an IHG member, they have a notice saying IHG members pay $12 and non members pay $13. Breakfast was hit and miss. I came down at 9am on sat and sun. Sat was good, sun was sparce for food. Its hard to find staff. I would wait 5-7 minutes for someone in the front

The bed was so comfortable

Location

The restaurant/bar was closed because the lady decided to on a Saturday night...and then no breakfast..total waste of time and money. We picked it because of all those things were supposed to be included.

The hotel was fine. Our room was an "older style" room. There were some items that coule use a face-lift. Bathroom soap dispenser looked as if it was just used and not cleaned. Breakfast was not bad for the price.

Clean Environment

Hotel was overbooked and had to search for new hotel 11 in the night

Bed was terrible. Rooms & hall ways kind of dark appearance with all the wall papers and dark carpets. Not pleasant looking.

Upon entering the room we found the rug soaking wet. Tried calling front desk but phone was not working. Walked to front desk and was told we could check out and that was our only option. Wallpaper on walls peeling. Very unhappy.
