@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.

No I am going to be driven there the day before. I will have someone with for my first appointment then they will be going home and returning on Thursday of the same week. (I will be there Sunday to Friday). I was pretty discouraged at the way the two ladies treated me like they did. Why didn't they tell me about this site where I could probably have gotten all my transport problems answered? Why did the one shut me off from asking questions via the Mayo message center? I thought they were my 'go to' person?

If I can get to the Gonda Building they can shuttle me to one of my appointments at St Marys or would it be better to call a cab?
