Hilton Garden Inn Rochester/Pittsford

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Rochester's Music Scene

Modern, quiet, and well-equipped, the Hilton Garden Inn Rochester/Pittsford sits in the charming Bushnell Basin area—an ideal balance of suburban calm and city accessibility. With easy access to downtown Rochester just 12 miles away, this hotel offers a peaceful retreat with the perks of a full-service property, including free WiFi, a fitness center, indoor pool, and hot tub.
The hotel features spacious rooms with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, desks, fridges, and some with in-room safes. A 24-hour front desk, shared lounge, and terrace round out the amenities, providing everything you need before or after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes a great balance for music fans—close enough to Rochester’s venues like Blue Cross Arena and the Rochester Riverside Convention Center (about a 20-minute drive), but tucked away enough to avoid the post-show crowds and noise. With free parking, a 24-hour front desk, and late-night amenities, it’s especially handy for fans heading back from a late performance. Check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM gives you time to ease into your day.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a quieter base with shared spaces
• Solo travelers catching that once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples making a full weekend of music and relaxation
• Fans needing a calm recovery space after a loud night out
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant offers American breakfast options and à la carte dishes to fuel your day or wind down after a concert. While 24/7 room service isn't available, the hotel’s bar and nearby eateries make it easy to grab a bite late. The in-room fridge is also a great perk for storing snacks or drinks when you return after a show.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, its location makes it easy to enjoy Rochester’s vibrant nightlife and music bars, then return to a quiet space. The on-site bar is a great place to enjoy a local craft drink without the noise of the city.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. Many note the quiet atmosphere and easy parking as big pluses after a long night out. The indoor pool and hot tub are fan favorites for post-concert relaxation. Travelers also appreciate the proximity to major highways, making it easy to get to and from events.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t in the immediate downtown area, so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to venues. Also, while breakfast and dining options are solid, those looking for a wide range of late-night eats might find themselves venturing offsite.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a peaceful stay near Rochester’s concert venues with all the comforts of a full-service hotel, Hilton Garden Inn Rochester/Pittsford is a solid pick for music lovers on the move.
