We stayed here for a wedding at the Diplomat, and it was definitely convenient only having to cross the parking lot to go to the reception. The hotel itself was somewhat grungy, not something we'd have chosen if it had been our decision (the wedding party/family had a block of rooms reserved). The carpets were really gross, we ended up... more

I chose the La Quinta because of the value; $85 in July is hard to beat, especially considering the price of most downtown Rochester hotels seems to be around $200 a night.

The La Quinta Inn on Lyell Ave in Rochester is now newly rennovated. The hotel is very clean, has all brand new furnishings and is conveniently located with an easy on/off ramp from 390. The complimentary breakfast was nice and the afternoon cookies hot out of the oven were a great treat. more

It seems they have not been shampoed... more

The Diplomat Hotel in Rochester is convenient if you are attending a function at the Diplomat Party House--the hotel is only a one-minute walk across the parking lot away. Outside of that, there isn't much going for the hotel. It's reasonably clean, and the staff was polite. But it's a dreary, lifeless hotel with no individual character. The rooms have... more
