Top Tips
- Book your hotel 4 to 6 or more weeks ahead for the Rochester International Jazz Festival (early June) and Rochester Lilac Festival (mid-May) to avoid sold-out nights and higher rates. Both multi-day festivals drive demand downtown and along Park Avenue, so early bookings at major hotel chains with flexible cancellation options offer better availability and rates.
- Compare your hotel’s daily parking fee to nearby city garages, as municipal parking is often lower by as much as $15. Most downtown hotels charge for parking but commonly include in/out privileges, and loyalty program perks or bundles may reduce or waive parking fees.
- Choose hotels within 0.5 miles of Park Avenue (0.5 to 1 mile from downtown) to walk to a high concentration of restaurants and bars. Park Avenue is a known food and nightlife corridor, and some hotels offer partner discounts at local dining spots through the concierge or loyalty programs.
- Staying in the University/Highland area cuts travel time and cab fares if visiting the University of Rochester Medical Center (Strong Memorial), which is about 3 miles south of downtown. Major hotels here often offer hospital or patient family rates and scheduled shuttle service to Strong Memorial Hospital, so ask about these options when booking.
- From November to March, lake-effect snow can cause sudden heavy accumulation. Request indoor or covered parking and check hotels’ snow-removal operations or late-check procedures, as full-service hotels usually offer covered entry and flexible check-in options during snowstorms.
- For concerts or sporting events, look for East End hotels within a 10-15 minute walk of the East End Entertainment District (Blue Cross Arena or Frontier Field) to skip event traffic. Some hotel chains include breakfast or late checkout on event weekends, so check for these perks, and always ask about special event parking rates as they may differ from standard rates.
- Verify step-free access and roll-in shower availability by calling the hotel directly, as many downtown properties are older renovations and ADA features can vary. Request a full accessibility statement or check for detailed features and room photos in the hotel’s booking app, especially for elevator size or step-free routes.
