The hotel is conveniently located in Rochester, right across the street from the convention center, making it great for both work and leisure. The parking is close and complementary, which is a nice bonus. The rooms are neat, clean, and well-appointed as requested, but the pricing might not match the comfort level. The dining experience is a mixed bag with high prices for disappointing quality, especially breakfast.

My stay at Drifters was overall enjoyable. The room was spacious and quiet, although there was some hygiene oversight from the previous guests. The service was fantastic, with the staff going above and beyond to assist. The location was ideal for exploring downtown Rochester. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and the overall facilities were good but not exceptional.

The hotel offered spacious and very comfortable rooms, but the lack of a bathtub in favor of a stand-up shower was a downside. The restaurant had fine options for lunch and dinner, but the breakfast buffet was subpar, with overcooked sausages. The location was great, surrounded by eye-catching architecture and right across from the convention center, perfect for those working in the area.
