Kahler Inn and Suites - Mayo Clinic Area

Med City Inn & Suites - Mayo Clinic Area
"This place is great! They have nice beds. Better than the Springhill Marriott. It was clean and the right price for people coming to Mayo. They don't gouge you like the other hotels do. There are plenty of food options around and a grocery store. My new favorite place to stay in Rochester."
