We had to wait 30 minutes to check in as the person who is supposed to be working the desk was also working in the restaurant. There is a live band that is playing late. The hotel it's self and the rooms are lovely!

Beautifully property. Staff was friendly and accommodating, they upgraded our room for free once they realize I wouldn't be comfortable in the one I selected due to my height (double bed to a king).

Worst Time Ever!!! Never Again!!!
When checking in there were No HP rooms available. I was assigned a room far away from the Main House. We had to lug our bags Up 3 flights of stairs. I am 65 disabled and the person on the counter could not help me get a more suitable room. I drove 3 hours and was tried. The room was outdated and the beds were not comfortable. The shower needed to be updated so people could use the shower in a more knowledgeable way. Special instruction we later saw on a plaque. I thought was a picture.

Many of the bedrooms are situated in the house next to the restaurant/bar. Not a problem as such, but not clear in the booking instructions. Local musicians played on the Thursday evening until 9:30 which was interesting. We asked for a king bed and the room was big with a very comfortable bed. Ate one night in the restaurant which offered decent meals at a reasonable price.

Lovely, cozy stay. Want to come back!
The room was very cute and spacious. I didn’t have a chance to try the breakfast due to early work mornings but there were snacks and bagels available and I was pleasantly surprised to find a popcorn machine and all the fixings running one evening. There is a small garden/courtyard that is absolutely cozy and relaxing to unwind in and the service at the desk was friendly and personable. I would absolutely stay here again, and partly want to go back to Rochester just for the Inn, even though there isn’t all that much going on locally.
