Used Aspen Select for my visits to the Mayo Clinic, which was close by. Rooms were well stocked and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a typical continental meal. The only downside was that the curtains didn’t cover the windows completely which allowed light to shine in the room. If you need complete darkness this might be an issue.

Conveniently located by St Mary’s. Property was dated. Room was clean but gave off 70’s vibes. Needs to be updated. Maintainence guy was smoking weed in the parking garage.

Parking was tough. Other patrons parked horribly, so we were unable to find a parking spot. Thankfully, the person at the desk moved his vehicle and gave us his parking spot. Also the sliding door did not covered the entire bathroom opening. There was little to no air conditioning, and we were not able to adjust the temperature of our room.

The only thing I didn't like about my room was no window to the outside. If I slid my floor to ceiling drapes open, the was a hallway With a whole wall of windows on the other side but then anyone walking down the hall had a full open view of my room with no privacy. That wall should be 6 foot or 6.5 feet tall with a window all the way across to allow light from the hallway window to enter the rooms and still give you privacy.

The room was very nice and very clean however the air conditioning had gone out in the building and the room was very warm. The front desk admitted they had been working on it all day. They offered a full refund or a stay at their nice Aspen suites hotel next-door at the same price which was a big savings and we accepted. The suite was very nice.

I believe the age of the building led to the malfunctioning air conditioning and I would be reluctant to stay there in the future.

When we arrived there was construction in front of the hotel which we were not aware of, literally found the parking lot by accident. When I realized I made an error in my reservation, the front desk attendant was able to fix it. The building and rooms are old, but they were clean. We made due and it was an overall good experience. Bonus it is directly across from Mayo St Mary Hospital Campus, great for those with family members that are being treated.

We went to the desk and nobody was there. We called the number and the man answered by saying he was at the desk. We said no and he said he would be right there. 10 minutes later he showed up. No apology or how are you doing. It was rude. One wall of our room was all glass facing east. Prepare to be awake at dawn. The breakfast is continental. There was no waffle mix to make a waffle and nobody had seen the worker to ask for more mix. We should have looked behind the building. There were 5 workers there smoking. This building looks like a medical office building turned into a hotel. They have attached it to a real hotel with an actual working staff. It is a mess.

Nice hotel. Super nice being right across from the hospital and a great nightly rate. Our big complaint was that we cranked the temperature down to 63 in the room trying to get it to cool off and the room got warmer. Peaked at 75 on the thermostat but both of us adults in our thirties were sweating the entire time we were in the room.

This hotel does not provide airport shuttle to the airport. There is a shuttle service in Rochester that you have to contact and is $20.00 per ride. They pick up people from all the different hotels.

The hotel room was Ok. It did not have a window to outside. There is a big window to the hall that had a curtain. However, at night, the light from the hall cannot be block completely and was a problem.
There was a shuttle to Mayo clinic and hospital but only pass once per hour. Plan ahead or walk.

This was the hotel i recommended to people until their heat went out of control. They need to fix their boiler or furnace or whatever. My room was 80 the hallway was hotter. Lots of complaints from everyone. We left early and went to the suites next door. If they could get their heating and cooling under control i would rate 5 stars. Everything i need for a Mayo visit.

Best stay ever in Rochester an we stay here a lot! We choose this hotel because it is across the street from the hospital. We will stay here again because of the excellent service, clean rooms and quiet atmosphere in the city. We had hoped to have an early morning surgery and we could walk across the street to the hospital and leave our car in the hotel parking lot till checkout time. Of course, we were delayed at the hospital and so I called the hotel to see if we could leave the car a couple of more hours and they were so kind and allowed it till early evening. I was so grateful because I hate the hospital parking garage. This hotel and their staff made a very stress filled day a bit easier.

Unless you enjoy being uncomfortable while you sleep, don’t stay here.
To be fair, the rooms are pretty and seem recently renovated, BUT YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE! On a 30 degree, January night, my room should not be a sauna. The uncomfortable warmth became oppressive after showering in a bathroom with no discernible fan. I slept without sheets and listened to my neighbors’ TV until 1 am, when I fell into a sticky and restless sleep. Multiple rooms had their doors propped open with the latch. If I wasn’t wary of strangers, I’d have done the same.

Bonus, theres a delightful warm cookie social from 6p-8p which my family loved.
