Top Downtown Rochester Hotel Reviews

Kahler Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hot tub and pool. Great views and area. Definitely would stay here again"

Centerstone Plaza Hotel Soldiers Field - Mayo Clinic Area

10/10 Excellent

"The experience here is wonderful as are all the staff. A special shout out to Q, as he really helped me with navigating the traffic at Mayo. I really liked it because I could walk to everything. While the decor could use a bit of freshening up, the staff, location, and amenities made up for it. I would definitely stay here again."

Hyatt House Rochester/Mayo Clinic Area

8/10 Good

"Easy place to get to; helpful staff. We had a large room. The hotel was quiet. Hot tub out of order and our room was ovwrlooking the train track which, unfortunately, had a train come through in the middle of the night and woke us all up. It had a nice terrace on our floor for relaxing."

Hotel Indigo Rochester – Mayo Clinic Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is my first time staying at Hotel Indigo. The staff was amazing. I had to keep adding nights and they were so accommodating. The room was just right. It was clean , well stocked and easy access to the Mayo Clinic. I really liked the front desk people. Super friendly and helpful. Love the attached restaurant!"
