The person who checked me in was rude right from the start. That turned me off immediately to point that we will never stay there again. The room we had was clean, but had a very weird odor to it. The continental breakfast was nothing to write home about and the vending machine was cash only. It took our money and didn’t give us any product. The amenities are outdated for the price you pay.

The only down side was that other guests did not pick up after their dogs, we had our dog with and left the surrounding property of the hotel for her walks and made sure it was not in sight or a hinderance to other guests.

Parking was fine, although the lot was small.The kitchen had a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, which was nice. I can't get beyond the skimpy, very squishy pillows. There were only 3 for our queen-sized bed. The pillow situation made for a not restfull night.

The only good part about this stay was the front desk guy who checked us in quickly and efficiently when we got in around 10.30pm. He was friendly and seemed to care a lot about making sure everyone had what they needed because it was busy! I felt bad that he was by himself but he definitely did the job of two people. Otherwise, in our room the sheets on one of the beds was not clean (you could see brown stains), the table areas needed a good wipe, and the bathroom tub was hairy and gross!! When I closed the door to take a shower, there was a BOOGER smeared on the door. Free breakfast? I mean, I wasn’t expecting a huge spread or anything but the juice had a weird film on the top, the syrup was almost gone (I got down there about 6;30am), the coffee machine looked like it needed a deep clean, and overall the options were minimal at best. Yeesh.

The room was very nice and clean. Our AC units didnt work but we didnt mind much, we had a cute little kitchette with a dishwater, small sink, microwave, and a fridge and freezer. Honestly would stay here again. There was remodeling going on at the time of our stay but we didnt mind one bit. The staff was helpful and nice. Parking was convenient and there was plenty of spaces. We didnt have breakfast but they did offer. We loved our stay and hope to be back next year.

It was under construction and it was messy morning desk staff was very friendly and helpful, not enough chairs for waiting for the bus to Mayo clinic. Missed the breakfast so I can't comment on it. I think once remodeling is done it will be a nice place to stay that is reasonably priced

The front desk person called hours prior to my stay to inform me that a king bed was no longer available due to reconstruction. I kept it anyway assuming we'd get 2 queens when he said it was a double. But it was one bed. The night was interrupted with noises from the heater in the room and construction sound in the early am. In the morning we went to get breakfast but everything was out. The waffle machine was empty, the juice was only water coming out. So we left. We will not rebook at this place.

The hotel is currently being remod3led. The beds were decent and clean. The walls are thin and all the doors slam. They have kitchenettes with no dishes. And there was a cigarette smell coming through our bathroom vent.

There is no breakfast as advertised. The manager at the front desk is extremely rude and unpleasant. He doesnt care about the guests and their needs. He only cares about you spending money on a below average stay

Room was poor:
- night stand had laminate missing from top
- walls had unpainted spackle patches
- main overhead light made so much buzzing that it was unusable
- kitchen was empty, had to call desk to supplies
--- when staff brought up supplies I asked them about the light (Tuesday night). They said they'd fix it in the morning. When I checked out on Friday still not fixed
- kitchen faucet drips, could not make it stop
- one of the windows would not close far enough to lock it
- always had to check to make sure the door latches and locked
* The bathroom was ok, best part of the room EXCEPT that \"white\" wash clothes and towels were dingy great

Staff was the best redeeming quality here. He helped me make things work out with shuttles and not having to take my things out of my room before I went to the hospital at 5am since I had a second reservation but they were separate.

Also it does have a kitchenette which is a huge plus. Just bring ur own pans and utensils n such.

However ...the room smelled strongly of coconut, unfortunately that scent turns my stomach... Thhere was food all over the counter from the last guest and sleeping spots on the only bed.

Being that he worked with me to help my shuttle work out, I stayed silently but I had to clean the food off the kitchen counter before getting comfortable and slept on top of the blankets.

Rooms were large and had recently been renovated. Good value for visiting Mayo Clinic. They had a shuttle but we had to be there at 5:46 am so could not take it. Lots of smokers outside, but hotel cannot control that.

Dirty Floors

The floor in the room was dirty. Walking around the room my feet were filthy with dirt and hair. No carpet so a simple swiffer mop would be so easy after each stay. Bathroom needs the same, plus more.
