I am interested in finding this out too. We've stayed at the Marriott for convenience but I read they are beginning a one-year renovation starting this November (when I have my next round of appointments!) -- Thanks.

-- Which hotels at Mayo in Rochester are connected to skywalk/subway?

Here is a search list - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=Rochester+mayo+clinic+%2Bhotels.
I got this last week from another fellow Mentor @roch who is a walking encyclopedia for all things Downtown Rochester.
@davem Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I see you've been a member for a while, but this is your first post.
You've gotten some good information about where to stay while at Mayo. Having access when the weather is not so good, is important. I was only there once, in September, and didn't have any weather challenges. It was my first time being able to use indoor transit ways, which absolutely thrilled me. Then again, I am from a small town and things like that intrigue me!
As @karukgirl mentioned, there is a lot of good talk going on over in the kidney and bladder support group, so feel free to wander around there, and let me know if I can be of any help to you. Transplant and dialysis each have their pluses and minuses. Have you been evaluated for either one, yet? I'll be curious to know. Currently on daily dialysis, I have no transplant in my future.

Hello @davem,
It looks like this is your first post on Connect, so an official WELCOME!
I assume this is about downtown Rochester, because I think that is where all the Kahler hotels seem to be?
I have stayed at the Courtyard Marriott, across the street from St. Mary's Hospital for my open heart surgery, and the Doubletree, downtown on my first trip.
I will be going back to Mayo next month and did a bunch of research and we decided to try the Hotel Indigo, which is close to the Doubletree. It's connected to the underground/skyways and walking distance to Mayo.
I'm sorry to hear about your health issues. It must be difficult to have not one, but two issues to navigate.
I'd like to introduce you to Ginger @gingerw , a fellow Mentor who knows a thing or two about living with more than one health issue...one of which is kidney disease.
She knows a lot of other stuff too 🙂
I don't know if you have had a chance to poke around here or not, but Ginger is a wonderful resource regarding kidney issues. Take a look at her thoughtful posts if you have time.
You mention you are going in November. I went there for the first time in November as well. It had snowed and the streets had piles of the white stuff everywhere. I was grateful for the tunnels and to be inside. How long will you stay in Rochester? Do you have far to travel?
