Great questions, Sam. You might be interested in reading this discussion in the Epilepsy group where people share their experiences with various Epilepsy Clinics including Mayo's
- Been to an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit? What’s it like? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/been-to-an-epilepsy-monitoring-unit-whats-it-like/

I'm also tagging other members who have been to Mayo to help answer your questions about doctors and hotels, and whatever else you'd like to ask. @dawn_giacabazi @cmcafee @twiceinalifetime

There's also more information about hotel recommendations, etc in the Visiting Mayo Clinic group: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/traveling-to-mayo-clinic-minnesota/ (I like the pool on the roof (indoors) at the Kahler Grand.)
