Hi @jared237, I posted a response I made to another member asking about Hotel Indigo.
At least I think I posted it! I'm using my new Mac Airbook and nothing is normal on this thing!
I stayed there four days at my last 25,000 mile tune-up and was very happy with the location.
The restaurant, Crave, was so good we ate there four days in a row. I still fantasize about the chopped salad with apples.
This hotel is not the closest...but if you have been to the Mayo Clinic before, everything is pretty easy around the area to get to the Clinic. It takes about 5 minutes to use the Skywalk from the Hotel to the entry of the Mayo.
What brings you to the Mayo? When do you plan to go?

We stayed at the Residence Inn Rochester Mayo Clinic which offers a 5 - 7 minute underground walk to Mayo Clinic. Clean and Quiet with kitchenette.

I stayed at Indigo in February and it was fine. It was a 15 minute walk from Mayo buildings all indoors skyway and subway. I appreciated the steps if
you are a walker you will enjoy the food, coffee and retail stores on the
way. I ate happy hour dinner in the Crave restaurant every evening and it
was fine food at bargain prices.

@jared237, where did you end up staying? What tips would you offer to others preparing to go to Mayo for the first time?

I usually stay at the super 8. reasonable rates and reasonably clean. I'm a sort timer a night or 2. short drive to mayo and shuttle if weather is dicey. A block/easy walk from John Hardy's BBQ

I stay at the Homewood Suites on 13th Ave. it is clean and they have a Mayo discount but call the hotel directly because the central reservation number will have no idea of the discount and then the hotel gets too pricey at least for me. The hotel is quiet with a better than expected breakfast selection. They run a free shuttle. At the Gonda Bldg picking up the shuttle to return to your room is so simple. There are places to sit while you wait and a there is someone who calls out over a loudspeaker what hotel shuttle is pulling up. If you need a wheelchair getting off at Gonda it seemed like people were lined up to assist you with a wheelchair if you need it. If you are an outpatient I am not sure staying near the clinic is necessary but if an inpatient perhaps it would be more convenient for your family.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on 16th St because it was very close to St Mary's. You can see the entrance to the hospital from the parking lot; it was .2 miles/5-minute walk. Free parking and breakfast. Shuttle service. It was clean, nothing fancy. It was about a mile to the Gonda and other nearby buildings and I was able to walk - slowly- to all appointments. It was July, so we were unconcerned about having our car outside and having to navigate cold and snow.

Greetings,

Well well

I finally got approved for my
surgery. Thank God. Now I just have to find a place to stay in Rochester for a week. I was thinking about an Airbnb. I need to stay from July 20th through July 27th. I am nervous about the surgery but at the same time am grateful for Dr Dey. I've traveled to hospitals all around the world and no one has been able to help me with my nerve damage so far. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.

Take care,
Greg
