The check-in team was not helpful. The construction around the hotel was not accommodating to my husband's needs of getting around. The room was fair but the beds were horrible.

The location is terrific if you have appointments at Mayo. Room was clean. Beds comfortable. One major drawback, the television and WiFi are completely substandard. It's 2025. How can the TV stations be laggy? And why is the WiFi slower than a snail? The other thing was the alarm clock was set to the wrong time and it was broken so we couldn't reset it. Not a huge deal, but when a hotel messes up the things you can see, what are they doing about the things we can't see?

Excellent location for Mayo Clinic patients. Easy access to main clinic buildings without having to go outside. Tons of wonderful restaurants and shopping within easy walking distance. Multiple restaurants on site. The Lord Essex Tavern was a delight: food, service, ambiance. Happy hour hors d'œuvres a special bonus! We didn't use the indoor rooftop pool this visit, but my family enjoyed it earlier this year. The lobby area is decorated festively for Christmas! The rooms are clean and comfortable. Onsite laundry a definite plus. Parking lot connects to hotel directly. Our room overlooked the plaza outside decorated for Christmas too. Very nicely priced for such a great location. Staff friendly and helpful. Several things could be improved upon: size of bath towels, update TVs to smart TVs. Thank you.
