Nice hotel with dining options and very convenient if you are visiting Mayo. On the downside I could hear my neighbor due to an inch gap at the bottom of the adjoining door. I would stay again, but request a room without an adjoining door.

Room was very clean and comfortable. I was in town for appointments at Mayo and the Kahler Grand Hotel’s location and access to Mayo was so convenient. We will be back and will definitely book with the Kahler Grand Hotel again. I would also recommend this hotel to others. Thank you for a lovely place to stay with amazing and friendly staff. When you are going through health issues with a family member the last thing you want to do is have hiccups with your stay and/or parking. The Kahler Grand Hotel made our visit effortless and we appreciate it!

I used this property as I was being seen by the Mayo Clinic. If I had significant mobility issues I would absolutely stay here again, as it is joined to the clinic, and so convenient. Otherwise, I’d stay somewhere else, with updated rooms, better water temperature, and newer rooms that are better able to get clean.
