Hi We have 2 large dogs we will be bringing with us for my husband's upcoming Mayo visit in Rochester. I'm looking for a place to stay with them where we can also easily access daily walks and a freezer/fridge would be a bonus. Cleanliness and easy access to Mayo is a huge plus.

Welcome to Connect.
You may want to contact Concierge services for assistance, they may have recommendations for dog friendly hotels. For more information, see:

I also suggest contacting hotel directly about their policies; specifically breed, number of dogs, size, charges and if require kennels if dogs are left in room unattended. I have seen hotels advertise as "Pet Friendly" and when I go to check in their policy were different then advertised on their corporate online page.

I stayed at the LaQuinta in Rochester, and it’s pet friendly. When I was there, the rooms had a fridge (freezer was tiny) and microwave. There’s a Mayo Clinic shuttle, and it was really close. As for walks, since your dogs are large…it’s more of a strip mall type of area (I remember it being across from a movie theatre?), so not the most scenic, but there would be space in the parking lots. I don’t quite remember because I was there in snow-covered February and not outside much!
I had a positive experience there.
Welcome @bano, I moved your question to this existing discussion. @jac08 asked the same question in this discussion and got many helpful tips in addition to the suggestions from @roch @sepdvm and @emo.

Hello @bano. You might find an airbnb more suitable and closer to Mayo campus. We often stay at a Home2Suites but it is not walking distance to Mayo, just a short 7-10 minute drive. It sits along the Zumbro river with a nice walking path. Full size refrigerator/freezer in kitchenette. Not sure if there is a size limit for dogs but they are there frequently. Also near Soldiers Field golf course where you can walk dogs in off season.
