Hi. I stayed at the Broadway Plaza. I was very fortunate in that my employer paid for my 20 day stay and allowed me to stay on the executive floors, which cost about $7000. It was a one bedroom apartment on the 16th floor with a separate living room and kitchen. They have cheaper apartments on the lower floors, which were definitely not as nice and actually a bit depressing (this is where I started before upgrading to the different room.). I would probably look at other options before considering their standard apartments. We also looked at the Marriott Town Suites but they were sold out. Might as well get the points if you can. I was told that there is some type of concierge at Mayo that also provides housing options as well. I didn’t use them, but this seems like a great resource that might be able to get you discounts.

I was getting reasonable direct United flights from Denver to Minnesota and then taking an Uber, which is about an 80 minute drive. If you fly into Rochester with the connecting flight, you’re probably 15 or 20 minutes away from downtown. But at the time, it seemed cheaper to fly into Minnesota and also avoid the connecting flight risk. But I would look at both options.

Let me know if I can help with anything else. I wish you the best of luck as well!
