Best Western Rochester Marketplace Inn
Staff was amazing and friendly. Room needed work as the light over the sink didn't work and the toilet seat was the wrong size for the toilet, miscellaneous things. Otherwise a great location and a good, comfortable, quiet stay.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Rochester-Pittsford/Brighton, NY
The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is in a busy retail area which is good if you need a store for anything. The free 24 hour snacks and included breakfast make this hotel a great value. I will definitely stay here again if I find myself in the Rochester area again.
