dazesaday @dazesaday, Welcome. This is an excellent question. And I am sorry that you were not satisfied with the 2 ladies you chatted with. Your concerns about navigating during your visit are a priority that needs to be addressed. I want to share some additional information with you.
Mayo Clinic provides a free concierge service for all 3 Mayo Campuses. Recently the concierge service has added Live Chat as an exciting new way to help people. Now you can chat with a live person about your visit.
Here is the link to the live chat service in the online Visitor's Guide https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide
I send you my thoughts for a safe and satisfactory visit. I wish you good health.
@dazesaday Are you going with a group of people? You mentioned something like that. Would they help you and push you in a wheelchair or transfer chair? The Mayo guide with the campus maps show the subways and walkways. Here is a link https://www.mayo.edu/pmts/mc1600-mc1699/mc1663-55.pdf
If you are going now in winter, walking outside isn't probably a good choice. Some hotels have subway access and some don't. The general information number from this campus map guide is 507-284-2511 if you wanted to ask for more specific information about convenience of particular hotels or how to get assistance at Mayo.
