What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The Rochester Inn is a unique stay with careful attention to every detail! I’ve stayed at the Rochester twice now, in two different rooms. You can feel the love that the Innkeepers have for this historic property, by how they run their business. Communication was a fantastic experience, since I first booked my reservation. The rooms are clean and comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. They feel like home, away from home. Our dietary needs were always honored and the breakfasts were both gorgeous and delicious! The Inn is conveniently located near my favorite art museums in Sheboygan and Kohler. Lots of great dining in the area too. I can’t recommend The Rochester Inn enough, and can’t wait for the next time I get to stay there!”
“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rochester Inn. Kelly was so attentive and went above and beyond making sure we were taken care of during our stay. The breakfasts were an absolute delight, the attention to detail and the presentation were top notch! We also appreciated the welcome back in the evenings with a tidied up room while we’re gone for the day. We highly recommend the Inn - you will not be disappointed!”
“Had a wonderful time at the Rochester Inn! I was brought there for a surprise getaway so had no idea where we were headed. This is by far one of the best B&B's I have ever been to. So many can feel old and stuffy and not particularly comfortable. The Inn has gorgeous rooms, super comfy beds and cozy sheets, huge soothing jet tub, ambiance galore! LOVED the complimentary snacks, beverages and toiletries when you happen to forget to pack something. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and eating in the room in privacy was a wonderful option. They are renovating the building next door into cottages and we cannot wait to return!”
“Kelly was such a great host...adjusted our breakfast preferences at last minute! We really like the formal sitting room separate from the bedroom and the nice sized bathroom. Walking distance to river path that had beautiful fall colors. Road noise was just slightly annoying...otherwise a perfect 5 star place”
“Beautiful hotel with hosts who really pay attention to details. Delicious and exquisite French toast for breakfast. My only regret is I forgot one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten in the fridge. Will definitely return to the bed and breakfast in the future.”
