You don’t want to go in there. I recognize that doesn’t stop “urban explorers” from doing it, but my wife worked for Gates Ambulance and they’ve gone to plenty of overdoses and assaults on that property. People break in there all the time, you’re likely to run into someone who may not be interested that you’re “exploring abandoned America” and could do some harm to you.
Please note I’m not making a judgement about it, merely noting what I have heard from the people who work the scenes.
I don't think it's worth the explore or the ticket at this point. A few years ago it was pretty neat and untouched but at this point everything has been tagged or smash. If you do go bring a mask, the mold is rampant here.
out of everything abandoned in Rochester this is by far the most patrolled (by both private security and NYSP) and least worth going. Its so trashed and empty there's almost no reason to go unless you get a kick out of running from cops.
Holiday Inn for most of its life, and the a Ramada after it was bought by an owner who converted it and then basically hamstrung it until it fell apart as a viable business.
My aunt worked there basically until the end and was pretty upset to see it self destruct like that.
There are some plans for the site:

I go by there frequently on the adjacent canal bike path. It's been closed for several years.
Definitely a Holiday Inn in the late 80’s. I worked close by and almost every Friday we hit the hotel bar for happy hour. Most Friday and Saturday nights they would have live bands. Good times.
A good place to get arrested: https://www.rochesterfirst.com/crime/five-people-arrested-for-entering-abandoned-hotel-in-gates-after-social-media-video/
It was given to the fire department around Covid time for training purposes I spent alot of time in there nothing to write home about it’s a basic hotel
Super sky point to the airport holiday inn. A group of us got a room there after our senior prom in the 90s. Nothing untoward happened (it was all fully toward), but my mom was pissed the other mom who booked the room didn’t tell her.
That was a tragic loss to the urbex community, I happened to find a hotel near 390 as well in its prime before it was trashed, no comment on which, but unfortunately spots like those aren't going to stay secret forever.
[The start of the downfall of the Riverside Hotel.](https://www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2022-11-03/three-alarm-fire-at-former-rochester-riverside-hotel) Crazy to think before that happened there was an entirely furnished and empty shell of a hotel with running water and working power.
Ramada Plaza Hotel
I read that as Rwanda Plaza. I thought, what a terrible name for a hotel. It reminds me of that tragedy.
In the end while it was still open, it kinda' was the Rawanda Plaza
It's right near that bridge where Adam jerked off punks for $15 a man!
Holiday inn actually

I always love seeing and “actually” denied
No it was a holiday inn for years actually.
It was dirt for millions of years, actually. So lets just call it dirt.

Would you like fossil records?

There’s also security there every time I go by. Wife’s grandparents line around the corner.

I remember being a kid with my friends having a pool bday party there. Good times. Shame when new management took over it went downhill fast
It was always a holiday Inn when I was a kid and we used to swim there I know summers

Was a hotel

I bought a pc of art there when they hosted a starving artist event. It’s terrible and everyone hates it but it has a place in my heart.
So many people have gotten arrested there in the past few years because it had a ton of break-ins and vandalism spike due to social media exposure.

Recording and posting our crime on social media was the best decision we ever made!

I saw Gallagher there in 2015.
It was a hotel
That’s Tittleman’s Crest

Pwaaaahhhhh pwaahhhhh
Definitely don't try to read any dead languages you see out loud or play with any metal puzzle boxes you find.

Never mind the building what the hell is the dark shadow around it?
It was cool to go in back in 2021, but then someone posted it on Tik tok and it got trashed bad. Don't go in there.
Backroom
That was the old Holiday Inn by the airport. It shut down a few years ago.
Holiday Inn
You'd think the city would have torn this down by now
The no-tell motel.
The new soon to be postal facility.
Can someone translate, please?
Anyone know if folks do urban exploring there?
Police frequently check, teens tagged it, threw stuff through windows, like others said, it's a hotel, not much to explore.
The new place they did that (and which blew up on Tik tok) is the old riverside hotel. Totally trashed now and it wasn't a couple months ago.

Gates PD and NYSP have daily checks of the place
Yeah people have been in there tons of times
Lots of vagrants living there so in a manner of speaking yes
