Top Historic Southwest Hotel Reviews

Aspen Select

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to Saint Mary's hospital"

Centerstone Plaza Hotel Soldiers Field - Mayo Clinic Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great overall experience. Helpful staff if you need help. The only issue seems to be staff not cleaning tables at breakfast times when people leave. We end up wiping our table before sitting down. We always stay here when in Rochester, MN."

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."
