We would like to inform you that our property does not have central air conditioning, but we do provide fans in each room. Fortunately, Rochester`s climate typically remains comfortable, and air conditioning is not always necessary..


However, during occasional hot spells, some guests choose to have a window AC unit installed in their room. If you’d like to arrange this, our maintenance team can assist with installation for a fee of $175. At checkout, we provide a partial refund for the AC unit based on the duration of your stay.
