To suggest that this property is 4 stars is more than a little bit of a stretch. I’m guessing that it was a chain hotel that was “refurbished” to create the spa. Unless we got a bad room because we went thru Expedia, I would give the property a 2.5 stars. The mere fact I’m leaving a review should tell you something. I avoid doing this usually, but felt duped by the description. Let’s talk about positives…location. Negatives…wasn’t sure if the front desk person worked there or was just covering the desk for a moment (no uniform), tried to charge me an extra $10 for a “facility fee”, wrinkle sheets (did someone lay on the bed?), random microwave sitting on the counter with cords hanging across a sink (had to just unplug and move everything), couldn’t control the AC/heat (?!?), stained/ burned light cover in bathroom, no water pressure in shower but a toilet that would randomly run. I would accept this from La Quinta or Best Western (and there are times when that is what you want/ need). Just don’t trick me into thinking I’m staying at a nicer place.

We have now stayed at the Woodcliff 3 times as our daughter has an annual competition in Rochester. The staff is always lovely. The property itself is dated and needs an upgrade. The rooms are clean but again dated, and the shower drains need some help. The staff at the local restaurant, Horizons is always lovely, the food is good, not amazing but solid and good. and the bands they hire for the weekend are always a pleasure. As we're always there at the very beginning of spring we've never used the outdoor pool or the spa services. We keep coming back because of the staff and cause it is the nicest property we've found in the area.

Unlike photos and website. Not luxurious at all. Pool is constantly busy with no supervision, and pool looks cloudy. Hot tub is always full. Celebrated our 8 year anniversary and we didnt even get to use the hot tub. They do not honor expedia gold members or VIP access. They did not give me my free room upgrade or late check out which is an offer i get with VIP access. They almost charged me for free credits that came with my expedia. They didn't know how to redeem any of it so after an inconvenient and long check out the desk lady finally decided to take the charges off. Whats the point of gold or VIP if these businesses don't care about third party bookings. Absolutely not worth the money. Stay at a chain and get a massage down the street, thats what i did. Horizons dining was the best part of our stay.

The hotel as a whole is beautiful, however there are a few areas that make the hotel a bit outdated. The room I stayed in was pretty spacious the view was of the parking lot and the sink outside the bathroom was a bit awkward because it was unnecessary. The toilet in our bathroom didn’t flush properly and I couldn’t get ahold of the front desk to fix it but over all the stay was pretty nice. I would stay again if offered the opportunity.

It would have been 5/5 stars except our room didnt have hot water! The first time we tried to take showers we let it run, at the advice of the front desk for about 20 minutes before we had to get ready to go without showering. Later that evening we tried again. We ran it for over 45 minutes! The lady at the front desk said the buildings old, run it longer. My husband was upset and said he just wanted an effing hot shower. She said she told him she couldnt help and was done talking to him. No accommodations were offered or made. So while everything and everyone else was just wonderful, it definitely left a really bad taste in our mouth. And when i say no hot water, it was downright cold.

Because there was no wifi in my room for three days I went to the hotel lobby with my laptop to complete my classwork. It was cold and it was late. I managed to find a desk and a chair, and with my winter jacket and hat, I sat until 11pm finishing my work. In three days this issue could not be repaired. The night manager helped me out by printing off paperwork I needed signed as the business center was closed throughout my stay. I also had to remind them not to charge me for food because I had a 15$ food voucher from Expedia per day. Overall, staff seemed sparse and aloof. I wouldn't stay here again.

Very disappointing. The heat did not work in our room at first. No one came to fix up our room. As a treat, I wanted to get room service for my kids, but when I called they “[weren’t] doing room service [that day]”. The hot water ran out. For what the Woodcliff purports itself to be, it did not live up to its claim. Next time Hampton Inn it is. The beds are comfier, it’s less expensive, and while there’s no room service, at least there’s a decent breakfast for free.
