The room was nice and clean. The pool was amazing, having to go up one elevator then up a flight of stairs to get there was strange, but not a desk breaker. We planned on getting dunkin donuts and it was under renovation, so that was unfortunate. The entrances to/from the garage didn't give the same sense of safety as the rest of the property.

We stayed here because my wife had appointments at the Mayo Clinic. While you may pay a little more, the convenience to the clinic can't be beat, it's literally right across the street. The valet parking makes it very convenient. The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. The room service menu is good (i.e. not overwhelming with the number of choices) and the food is excellent. We've stayed there twice and will definitely stay there the next time we have to visit the clinic. I highly recommend this hotel. I will say it is a bit older, and may not have what the newer hotels have, but it is clean, well kept and comfortable.

The convenience to Mayo was fantastic! Once we had valet park our car we didn’t need to drive again until time to leave. Our only complaint was the elevators are small which made a tight fit with a power wheelchair. Our room was a tight fit too but that’s our fault as we didn’t book a wheelchair accessible room. We would definitely stay here again for the convenience!

This hotel was right at the Mayo Clinic which was very convenient. The hotel still has the charm from back in the day but could use an update. Overall we have no complaints and would probably stay here again.

If you're needing to stay at Mayo, this is a great option. It's clean, updated rooms, comfy beds (lower to ground for easy transfer if in a chair), nice bathroom. What isn't great is the layout of this hotel, it's so under labeled and easy to get lost and hard to find main desk, pool, etc. parking rp isn't ideal - no one answered when we tried buzz in, so we swiped the credit card. You're also charged parking with check in so be careful. Parking ramp is small and smelly. There's a nice drop off area out front of the hotel, and they do have valet parking (for additional charge). In room coffee isn't great. Nice mini fridge go bring your own snacks, leftovers, or breakfast items. We'll stay elsewhere next time since we don't need to be close to Mayo, likely somewhere without multiple banks of elevators and with free parking.

My husband and I stayed here the night before and the nights following an extensive surgery I had at Mayo. The thought of coordinating this was one of the greater stressors for me leading up to surgery but the staff was incredibly accommodating and made our stay all we needed it to be! The convenience in location can’t be beat!!

It was very walkable. Lots of restaurants near by. Across the street from Mayo Clinic. The room given to us was not what we reserved. Reserved a king, told us we only paid the price of a queen on Expedia. I had to show my receipt. Facility was older.
