@cabgreenbay I have stayed at Aspens Suites when I had surgery at Mayo Mary Brigh Hospital and is it literally just across the street. You just cross at a stoplight with a crosswalk and enter a side entrance at the hospital (Tower Entrance). Hotels wit close access are more expensive. If you are will to ride a shuttle or have a car with you, you can stay further out. I like Candlewood Suites because it has a full kitchen, also some underground parking. I have food issues, so I have trouble finding anything at a provided hotel breakfast that I can eat. Candlewood Suites also has some kitchen equipment to lend like a crock pot.
