Very loud property. It’s an old building that has been nicely renovated but the walls are so thin. And the floor above you can hear everything! Any footsteps and movement.

We had an amazing stay at the Rochester. The rooms are nicely decorated with comfortable beds and curbless, walk-in showers. The staff is very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. It’s right in town and within walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay here again.
