Top Historic Southwest Hotel Reviews

Kahler Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"You can not beat the location for convenience to the Mayo Clinic especially when you have someone with mobility issues. The standard room is quite small with a tiny shower and tub but for being able to use the subway level to get to appointments with my elderly father, I can tolerate the shower. They could make it better with a curved shower curtain rod. The staff is amazing. Would stay again under similar circumstances."

Hilton Garden Inn Rochester Downtown, MN

8/10 Good

"The staff are very friendly and helpful! They have valet parking and shuttle buses to both Mayo Clinic and St Mary’s, so I only needed to pay for valet while I went to both locations. This service was even available at 4 am, when I needed a ride back from the ER at St Mary’s! Otherwise, they put my room facing the parking lot so it was quieter. Also, I overslept the check out time, so the cleaning staff gave me extra time to get ready and the front desk didn’t charge me extra for the late checkout. I’d recommend this place for the staff alone, but the hotel and room were great, too! Clean, access to the skyway system, close to Mayo Clinic, and a hot breakfast with pancakes to order! The room had what I needed to work remotely, pillows that didn’t trigger an allergic reaction, and panel-controlled heat/AC."
