I have mixed feelings about this hotel. While it's super convenient being right across the street from Mayo Clinic, the rooms left a lot to be desired with their dry atmosphere and odd view of the parking garage. On a positive note, the service was exceptional, with every staff member being friendly and accommodating. The location couldn't be better for Mayo Clinic visitors, but the need for updates is apparent.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in felt like a flop house setup, with an unappealing view of the parking garage through security glass. The ventilation design made the air extremely dry.

Service

9.0

I had a great experience with the service at this hotel. Everyone I interacted with, from the front desk to the bellman, was kind and went out of their way to address all my concerns, even the smallest ones.

Location

7.0

The location right across the street from Mayo Clinic is ideal for those with appointments or treatments there. Its connectivity to the clinic via the subway level is a major convenience.

Dining

6.0

The dining options were decent, with tasty sandwiches, though nothing extraordinary. The proximity to Mayo Clinic made it convenient for a quick meal.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel facilities need some updating to match the standard that guests would expect, given its association with Mayo Clinic.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was very thoughtfully arranged, with a roomy and nicely separated bathroom from the sleeping area. However, the cleanliness was a major issue, especially with an unpleasant toilet. The location was convenient for my appointments at the Mayo Clinic, but the proximity to the elevator shafts made it noisy and unsettling at times. The service was excellent and very friendly, making my stay enjoyable overall.

For an impromptu overnight stay, this hotel offered affordable rates compared to others in the area. However, booking through a site seemed to result in a punishment with a dated and small room reminiscent of a hospital. The strong antiseptic smell raised concerns about cleanliness.

Rooms

5.0

The room was very dated and half the size of an efficiency apartment. The strong antiseptic smell made me wonder about the room's previous occupant.

Service

5.0

While the staff was kind and well-mannered, there was a lack of urgency in attending to our needs. The bed quality and maintenance issues were disappointing.

Location

7.0

The hotel's proximity to the Mayo Clinic and its clean surroundings were positives, but the presence of lint, dust, and crumbs detracted from the overall experience.
