Hi everyone, Not been on for a while. Just thought I would ask, I am having to go to a place called Honeoye Falls just outside Rochester NY in a couple of weeks. It is a fleeting 3 day visit for the company I work for (Non film related). I was wondering if anyone knew of any good hotels near there?

I have had a quick look at the website (visitrochester.com) but unfortunately they don't give me much info (and if anyone has any personal recommendations then that would be better).

Thanks

Honeoye Falls is about 15 miles south of Rochester, along NY Route 65 (Clover Street). Hotels in Pittsford NY (Monroe Avenue and Clover Street) would be a convenient drive, and located near shopping and restaurants. Downtown Rochester is only about a 1/2 hour drive north of Honeoye Falls.

Here's an on-line guide to accomodations:

You'll see lots of restaurants, hotels and shopping as you drive from the ROC airport (Jefferson Road, Marketplace Mall, Rochester Institute of Technology).

Certainly try to visit the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography:

Are you involved in fuel cell research? General Motors has a fuel cell research facility in Honeoye Falls:

Hi,
Thanks guys, There is some good info there. Yup, I am heavily involved in fuel-cell research and I am off to GM. From the websites it looks a beautiful part of America. I have never been to the states before so I am really looking forward to it.

You're coming to the NY Finger Lakes region at one of the nicest times of the year. [Smile]

Mid May will see the Rochester Lilac festival and other festivities. The Erie Canal is open for canal cruises on the historic canal that helped open the West (featured in "How the West Was Won"), and later in May, the huge new "Fast Ferry" hydrofoil, the "Spirit of Ontario", begins daily 2-1/2 hour trips across Lake Ontario to Toronto, Canada:

Gordon's favourite Rochester pub: [beer]

http://theoldtoad.com/#

quote:
WELCOME TO THE OLD TOAD
Located at 277 Alexander St., the Old Toad is nothing short of your traditional British local. From the staff to the food and ales, everything is purely authentic. Even the bar itself was imported from Great Britain. Truly “a pub from over there, over here”.
Since its establishment in 1990, The Old Toad has built a reputation for providing friendly, excellent service. We offer a wide range of beer - from real ales, imports, and local favorites, to our very own custom brews. In addition, we serve traditional British meals as well as contemporary pub grub (including vegetarian meals). Besides a relaxed atmosphere (there are no televisions or blaring jukeboxes hereSo please, come in and see what all the fuss is about, mate. We promise, you’ll be glad you did.
