The Del Monte Lodge Renaissance Rochester Hotel & Spa

Lovely hotel decorated in mid-century modern. Upon arriving we immediately dropped a bottle of red wine in our room, breaking it on the floor. The housekeeping staff cleaned it up pronto! The room was spacious, but the lighting was dim, impossible to find a place to adequately apply makeup. There is no magnifying mirror in the bathroom. In order to turn the shower on you reach under the shower head, thus drenching yourself with cold water. A definite design defect. The switches on the lights next to the bed are too high so you have to get out of bed to turn them off. Bedding was wonderful, chocolate on the pillow at night a sweet touch. The location of the hotel is perfect for a stroll or a vigorous walk on the adjacent canal.

Great time and they were very accommodating for us and our entire family! Thank you!

It was a last minute reservation, but it was worth every penny.

Room was fantastic with many amenities. Bath Towels a bit "scratchy" (like a lower star hotel) Need to match soft towels with rest of room. Staff was friendly and gave me a bottle of water which is a nice touch because you always wake up in the night needing a drink of h2O Valet to get car was slow 10-15 minutes . I had a 6 AM flight out so I was out early. I should have parked car on my own.

Lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance including a remarkable dairy across the street that sold amazing ice cream and various treats.
