We chose the hotel because they would allow us to bring a pet and the location. The hotel's policy is that the guest pays in advance for all nights and refunds are not permitted. We paid for two nights. The room was unacceptable for three reasons:
1. This is an older motel. The furniture is old and worn. The bed was alright but there is no comfortable place to sit and the room is only good for sleeping, if that were possible. The ventilation is poor and the single air conditioner struggled to do anything, and it wasn't summer. I can only imagine what it would be like in July.
2. On the afternoon between the two nights we were there, we saw the owner come into each room and spray something after closing windows. We don't know whether it was a disinfectant, insecticide, or deodorizer. It left an awful chemical smell and explains why we had difficulty sleeping the first night. We slept no better on the second night. One of us had a headache both days.
3. On the first morning, we found that the showe/bath hot water faucet did not work and only a cold shower was possible. This should have been noticed by the prior guest and the housekeeping staff while cleaning. The manager repaired it before the second night, after we told him about the problem.
We found someone to take our dog for the third night in Rochester and moved to another motel 0.6 miles south, at a comparable rate. Then we had one good night of sleep.

We needed a hotel that would allow dogs and after asking other hotels in the area we found the Towpath motel. We paid $90. Total rip-off!!! But we had no choice. It was late and we were tired. We were charged $5 extra because of our dog. We were told we had to pay another $5 if we wanted to use our credit card to pay for the room. We turned around to leave because we knew that was sooooooo wrong and the front desk guy gave in and said we didn't have to pay it. We said ok and paid. When we got to the room we discovered it was a room for smokers. We told the guy that it was unacceptable because the smell was so disgusting. He said that dogs have to stay in smoking rooms. Because it was late and we had already paid (plus we didn't trust the guy at the front desk in terms of refunding our credit card), we stayed. We opened the windows and suffered all night because of the terrible smell. I woke up several times during the night and was sickened by it. When we returned home we all had baths or showers (including the dog) and needed to wash all of our clothes whether we wore them or not.

nice hotel with good location and shopping & restuarants in the area ; close by to highway, NY state highway 90s ; drugs store for emergencies and supermarket in the area , all very good locations

I selected this hotel because it was conveniently located to my work desination and was affordable.

The room was clean and recently renovated. The manager was friendly (I arrived about 9PM) and appeared genuinely interested in my comfort.

The location is close to downtown, while being enough out of the fray to offer easy access from the highway, free parking and a safe feeling neighborhood.

This is a motel, not a restaurant and not a B&B. The breakfast selection is limited, but I prefer to get a full breakfast on my own, so this was not a disappointment.

I travel around Upstate NY frequently and will return to this hotel when I next go to the Rochester area.

I recommend this place to all travelers looking for a clean, comfortable, safe and inexpensive place to lay their weary heads.
