The staff was good and helpful! However, there were a couple of disappointments bathroom in my room was tiny, and the water pressure in the shower was weak, could barely get rinsed off. Valet parking at the hotel's parking ramp is pricey. Cheaper parking nearby but takes a short walk.

We have to visit the Mayo frequently and this was the first time staying at this hotel. The room was a bit small but served our needs. Very clean and well maintained. Perfect location for the Mayo clinic appointment with the ability to park the car in the ramp and walk to everything we needed. Connected to the subway system, many restaurants and shops in the area.
