I understand the attraction of earning points for stays, but there is a disadvantage to staying outside walking distance from the downtown Clinic buildings. If you don't stay at a place connected to the Clinic buildings by subway and skyway, which make walking (and also wheelchairs, scooters, and the like) possible, you will have to rely on the shuttles provided by the hotel or motel or other facility. We found that adds stress and uncertainty to getting to and from Mayo appointments, and isn't good if you need to go back and rest or retreat to peace and quiet between appointments. We usually stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown, but stayed at Broadway Plaza when we had to stay several weeks for grueling radiation treatment and frequent infusions. We were very glad that both places made it possible to walk or wheelchair back and forth on our own schedule.
