burg0047 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 It is getting more and more difficult to use Priceline. This property has been criticized as a 2.5 start property based on its condition. A major travel review site has guest submissions giving it very shaky reviews based on it being rundown and unclean. Now Priceline has upgraded it as a 3* in Rochester.I initially tried Rochester 3* at $55 without success. Next, I added Rochester South, keeping the rating at 3* (no properties are listed as 3* on the Priceline List for Rochester South. The Ramada is listed as 2.5 on the list). I saved a "whopping" 21% on my reservation at a property that has been a questionable 2.5 star property. Now it's a 3*??? Oh, joy. Perhaps an amazing turnaround has occurred at the property that warrrants the upgrade to 3*... here's to trying to be optimistic about it. Otherwise, as has been my recent experience, PL is becoming less and less of a bargain and is consistently under-delivering.The PRICELINE link was used to start the reservation.
thereuare Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Sorry to see you're disappointed with the results, but the reviews i've read for this property are generally quite favorable. While there were a few negative reviews, most properties have a some, and these were from nearly a year ago... almost everything i've seen since the first of the year were quite good, actually.Thank you for using the PRICELINE link on the board to begin your bidding and sharing your win, helping us update the Priceline Hotel list with the new star rating for this property.Enjoy your stay.... hope it goes better then expected, please follow-up upon your return and let us know your thoughts.

burg0047 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 The stay was very pleasant! The facility has been nicely updated. The pool area was fantastic for the kids who were along - water slide, basketball hoops, kids pool, hot tub, plenty of space. The room was very large. While its location is not perfect for multiple trips to Mayo in a day, it's certainly not a deal breaker if you're looking for a clean, solid place to stay. We'd happily do it again - especially at this price. A success!
