It is a pleasant room. I had to call the help number to ask where the ice was located. Its at the restaurant next door. From 1 AM until about 2:30, there were people moving what sounded like furniture outside the door and talking. That wasn't management's fault, just clueless people. Unfortunately, i didn't sleep and had to wake up at 4. I like the hotel, it's a little different though because you're pretty much on your own. That's the way they operate and I don't mind too much, unless I need something and they do answer the help line. If you're an independent person who doesn't want to be bothered, you'll be happy.

The day was fine. It is an unstaffed hotel. There were no people to interact with, but everything was fine. It was easy to get the key card for the room.

This was such an odd stay. There is no person at the office... just a locked door and a number to call to have them unlock a key box for you. Okay, no problem, but it is unsettling to not have someone onsite if problems arise. The hotel itself is called part of the Best Western "Signature Collection," presumably because they have done a lot of upgrades to the flooring, the walls, and the doors. It also had a heated toilet seat. Again, that would all be great but then, in contrast, we had only 1/4 of a roll of toilet paper left on the roll and no other rolls of toilet paper available. Fortunately, there was a box of Kleenex and we were only staying one night so we endured. Also, there were no wash cloths or handtowels... only bath towels and one of them was covered in stains (it clearly had been washed but was still dirty looking from all of the dark spots and rust-looking stains). There were stains on the bed linens as well (photo of my pillowcase is shown). So gross. Even if it has been washed, it needs to be thrown away if the stains don't come out in the wash. No clinet paying $200+ a night should see that when they lay down to sleep. And the pillows were cheap and super uncomfortable. The bed mattress was fine, though, no issues there, but the pillow quality was awful, the linens and towels had stains, the sink was clogged up and would make weird noises in the middle of the night like it was trying to unclog (like gurgling sounds). TV glitchy. We had to laugh or we'd cry.

I liked the room and the Turkish cafe next door. Unfortunately, when i arrived at almost midnight, there was no hot water and i really needed a shower. I called the customer service and the employee was very apologetic. He said they weren't going to charge me for the night. Im not sure if that's true because the room was already paid for through Expedia. He said the hot water would be repaired around 10 AM. Im hoping that's true because i have an event to attend today. It's 9:40 AM so im just waiting.

Had some problems with the key system. Both initial retrieval of our key and then it wouldn’t work mid stay. The staff were very accessible and helpful. There was strong pot smoke in the area every night. The room and bathroom was very clean and maintained.

The basic room was mostly adequate, decent bed, EXCELLENT shower. The makeover from a former BW was superficially good. Fresh paint accentuated the updated mid-century vibe but broken window frames created security concerns. Although there was no staff on site, ( self serve entry), when my door key stopped working, the owner quickly arrived to replace batteries in the key card reader.

Nice, cozy. Refurbished property by BW Signature Prompt courteous phone staff . Self check-in with key boxes. Just enter code that is texted to you. No having to go through front desk. No frills but great for a quick business trip or if you just want an easy in and out experience while visiting the area.

We stay at hotel rooms around the Midwest at least 40 or 50 nights a year and have been doing it for years. This is the first time I’ve ever had a hotel that did not have a staff member physically present on the property. In trying to register, I had to call a phone number and try to talk to the property agent over a very poor phone connection. He directed me to a little pop-up window that had only one copy of the room key in it. He said look for room O over the door at this two floor facility with no proper direction and gave us no other information that would have proven to be important later. No elevsI had to walk around the entire property to find room O on the second floor and walk around again to try to find the stairway up to it. I picked one of two stairways and ended up having to walk all the way around the hotel again on the second floor and then had to walk around to move my car over to the stairwells. Luckily, it was a nice night and not a frigid winter night. Entering the room, we saw they had the mini fridge on the floor and to put items in and take them out, you had to get down on your hands and knees, as it was not on a stand. they had no microwave and no breakfast which we weren’t informed until I had to as about it during registration.. The person said just go next-door for breakfast, which was not open at 7 AM upon departure. The bathroom door was a barn type and was able to be opened but could not be closed so we had no bathroom privacy the entire evening.

Great Hotel!

This hotel was a great find. Conveniently located near the expressways. The rooms are very clean and updated, the price was reasonable, the staff was all very friendly & accommodating. Silas, the owner, even created a "courtyard" outside our room with tables since we were staying for 2 weeks. This hotel will be our "go to" when we visit Rochester
