“Very clean, quiet place to stay”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

We spent two nights at this hotel and found the room to be very clean and updated. It was also very quiet. The staff was friendly, and the morning breakfast offerings were great. The location was really convenient, nice to have the Perkins restaurant right next door. The hotel was in the middle of some renovations while we were there,... More

Reviewed 17 April 2013

Stayed here 2 weeks. Special weekly Mayo rate available. Rooms clean,frig,microwave,coffee. Just a good basic hotel with quiet rooms. Upgrade adding elevator underway so for now you must climb stairs for 2nd floor. Very basic free breakfast. Grocery store,Perkins, Outback, etc. all within walking or short drive.

“Great place to stay for a visit to Mayo's”

Reviewed 27 March 2013

My wife and I stayed here for her visit to Mayo Clinic. The room was clean and nicely furnished. We got a king room with a recliner, which we especially enjoyed. It was very convenient to walk next door for dinner at Perkins. Our room was on the second floor. After my wife's surgery it was clear that we needed... More

Thank you for the nice review. Since purchasing the hotel over 7 years ago, we have been doing our best to improve our guests experience. The elevator issue you mentioned is now under construction and should be open by July of 2013. This will greatly improve our ability to serve our Mayo Clinic and for that matter all guests. Thanks...

“Great place to stay!”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

Last visit to Rochester we stayed at a different motel...not a good experience. But on the shuttle bus we rode, the folks getting on from Econo Lodge were raving about their room and the motel in general, so we booked a room for this visit and are very very glad we did. The room (and motel in general) looked and... More

Thank you for the nice comments. We also like our "Boiler Heat" in the winter months as it is a very quiet heat. However it will soon be coming to an end as our boiler is old and does not have the recovery speed that conventional through the wall heating/cooling systems have. We will eventualy be removing the boiler and... More

“Great hotel!”

Reviewed 18 March 2013

We stayed here because we had appointments at Mayo clinic. The hotel is up to date, clean and the staff is super friendly. Upon checking in, we ran into two other guests and they told us what a wonderful hotel we had chosen. The week before, Rochester had received a good amount of snow, and the owners went out to...

Thank you for your nice comments. I just wanted to let our guests know who read this that we do attempt to clean snow off cars. However we are not always able to make this happen before guests leave our property. We make decisions based on staffing, time of day or night that it snows or stops snowing, outdoor temp,... More

Thank you for your great comments. Full breakfast, I don't know... Just to keep guest expectations in check, I can tell you... after our elevator expansion is complete (July 2013) we are planning on improving our breakfast line next winter 2013/14.

I'll admit I chose this hotel for our stay when we need a place while visiting The Mayo Clinic because of the other reviews. Some places are great 80% of the time but there is not a single thing I can complain about. They were great 100% of the time! From the first encounter as we checked in to the... More
