This was such a great find!! The staff (Nicole, Robin, John) were just wonderful!!! The room was beautiful, the bed was very comfortable!!! The restaurant atmosphere and the food was just so yummy!!! I'm so glad we stayed four nights, I wish we could've stayed much, much longer. You simply can't go wrong here, thanks to everyone who made this stay so memorable. I couldn't have been more pleased.

Staff at front desk was very pleasurable. Food was excellent for late night dining. It was a little difficult climbing to the third floor for my husband who is 72 years old.

My overnight stay was perfect! Room and bathroom were very clean. Enjoyed it more than staying at a hotel! Although the restaurant didn't have a lot of GF options, everything smelled awesome. I would have given it a try if I didn't have other plans. Will stay here again anytime I am in Rochester!!!

This is a lovely historical inn. It is managed by people who see and enjoy its history. They make it accessible and popular to people who enjoy socializing to music in this atmosphere close to nature but also in a small city setting. All of this is excellent. The only concerns come with the expectations of modern travel (e.g. bigger rooms, bathrooms with space for travel items, etc.) still, breakfast is ample and well thought-out, rooms are very clean, staff capable & friendly. If one chooses to stay for supper, meals appear to have good variety and well-priced.
