I visited the Mayo last week and stayed at the Residence Inn Mayo Clinic South and had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend it. It about 7-10 minutes from the downtown Mayo directly across from the mall. It had a free dedicated shuttle where you can reserve your time slot. Each room has full kitchen and bedroom. The property only 3 years old. It has a heated garage, free breakfast and has a new and beautiful vibe. Most people including myself go to Mayo for something serious looking for answers. I found this hotel filled with a ton of Mayo patients. It was loving and great place to stay. The staff and drivers made my week. The hotel has a Traders Joe and a Natural Grocery two blocks from it plus was about 10 minutes from Marcus Cinemas. As we all know the Mayo can be very serious place and stressful. I found this hotel to be relaxing and wonderful getting away from the daily doom and gloom of my tests and medical visits. When I return to the Mayo this my Rochester hotel. They even gave me a Mayo Clinic discount. I know I sound like a commercial but I am simply someone who went to the Mayo last week and this hotel helped me a wonderful Mayo experience. Highly recommend!!
