"This was a great place to stay if you are a patient at Mayo Clinic. It is quiet and very luxurious for the price. My only complaint was that the shower was kind of small, but that would not prevent me from staying there the next time I have to make the trip to the Mayor Clinic"

"Good location. I took an art workshop in town so this was a convenient location for my class. Room was small but well appointed. Some classmates also stayed at this hotel and they were on a noisy lower floor. Walls are thin so depending on the location of your room, it might be noisy."
