The Strathallan Rochester Hotel & Spa, Tapestry by Hilton
"Wonderful two night stay. Had breakfast twice and room service dinner once. Solid. Used the gym, which was very well appointed and empty on a Saturday afternoon. Most outstanding feature of the Strathallan is the staff. Excellent. Will definitely return."

There is no functioning AC in the building at all, and I was told to “crack the window” if I got hot. I was never informed there was no AC prior to booking or upon arrival. ..."
