Kahler Inn and Suites - Mayo Clinic Area
Clean room. Easy walk to many places to eat, and Mayo right across the street! I had to park at Weat parking lot due to construction and limited parking available at hotel. Construction was loud until 9 pm so not relaxing without the tv on to block out the noise!
