@jared237 ,
It could not be any closer to the Mayo. Literally across the way.
I did go into the Lobby for fun, and I thought it was nice enough. But I didn't see any rooms.
I have heard that there has been remodeling going on over the years and that can be inconvenient if it is during your stay.
One thing to remember, this is a Medical Visit...not a vacation, so basic needs are more important. Is it clean? Close? Walkable? Those are more important than matching bath robes and chocolate chip cookies at night. In my opinion!!!
The Kahler is as close as you can get to Mayo Clinic. And it's a skip and a jump to Chester's. Chester's has THE BEST chicken picatta I've ever had. They call it Minute Chicken I think...
I focus on food a lot it seems 🙂

@jared237 Dont do it.

Its a dump. Unless you are in the high end suites its pretty outdated and dumpy.
I think they plan a remodel but I do not believe they have done that yet. Same for the Kahler inn and suites.

If you have a car , I would look at places away from the campus that offer free parking like Residence Inn (South campus by the mall ) , Home2Suites , Candlewood suites. The hotels have shuttles to take you to the Campuses. All the hotels near the campus will charge you nightly parking 15-30.00 nightly.

I will say the EVEN and Staybridge hotel across from St Mary's now charges 20.00 a night parking but you can opt to park on the street there or across in the lot for free or less. That is a newer SUPER clean nice hotel. Its Staybridge on one side and EVEN on the other. Has a pool gym hot tub and free laundry.

They have a shuttle as well.
