Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Great Customer Service"
Overall score4.0/ 5
Great customer service, facilities in Great shape.
(Individual traveller, booked 1 room), from US flag
23-Jul-2025 Verified review, stayed from Tue Jul 22 to Wed Jul 23 2025 at a $89.13 average nightly rate.
"Needs updating and staff were not polite."
Overall score3.0/ 5
We were not thrilled with most off the staff, they did not seem like they wanted to be there and one front desk lady was flat out rude. However, the cleaning staff were very nice and smiles all around! My husband needed to work and the Wi Fi was not working. Went down in person three times to get new passwords and in the end none worked. the hallways were extremely hot and the air in our room was set at 68 and it never cooled down. Out of three swim areas only one was open with water and working, thankfully this was the water slide, which is why we chose this hotel for our son. Our room was clean, but needs updating. Breakfast was 'ok'. The bar restaurant that is not owned by the hotel and located directly behind was excellent! The staff there are amazing and the food was stellar!

"Nice, updated hotel near Mayo Clinic."
Overall score5.0/ 5
We decided to stay at the Best Western after staying at a different hotel many times in Rochester for the pool are because our kids were coming to see their Dad in the hospital over the holiday. The hotel was very nice, breakfast was good. All staff we encountered were nice. They have a shuttle service however we did not use it so we can not comment on that.
