Lodging in Jacksonville, FL

Posted by EES1 @ees1, Apr 8, 2018

I have an appointment this Thursday and looking for a room for Wednesday night. The Mayo Marriott is crazy-high at $241 for AAA. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.

I also had a problem with their rates. I called to check them for Monday and was told the Mayo patient rate was $20 More than the regular rate. If you want the second closest hotel at $119 per night for their Mayo rate, try the Holiday Inn on Windsor Commons. It is about 2.5 miles away and very easy to get to.

Are there any hotels similar to the Kahlor Grand in Rochester, Minnesota which are connected to the clinic via a subway?

Almost any hotel in downtown Rochester has access to downtown Mayo Clinic buildings via subway or skyway. Here are a few specific ones:

- Marriott Residence Inn
- Kahler Inn & Suites
- Hilton
- Rochester Marriott Hotel

Here is a link to the campus map, which includes a map of the subway system, https://www.mayo.edu/pmts/mc1600-mc1699/mc1663-55.pdf?_ga=2.60956907.67298372.1546544292-1675055088.1541027282.

<p>Have MRI on 1 Dec and consult with neurosurgeon the next morning. I have a meningioma and cavernoma. Wanting closest hotel. When I call the Marriott number it’s not the local number. Trying to speak with someone at that Marriott, not a call center. Have questions like... how close is it to the clinic? Safe to walk to at night? Shuttle if needed? Hope to get best rate? I was quoted $170 with tax by reservation service but i know sometimes you can get better rates if calling directly to hotel. Any hints? Suggestions? Just suck it up and pay it because of closeness to Mayo? :). Thank you so much!! I have AAA, AARP and am retired Army Corps of Engineers civilian. It will be me and two friends.</p>

I have stayed at the Holiday Inn Medical Center as their Mayo rate is $107. They have a complementary shuttle to Mayo. I have stayed there for a few days at a time and then 43 consecutive days. If you end up having to stay long term there a great place to stay because you earn free nights. Praying for you to have the best outcome, Mayo is amazing! They have seriously become like family!

Hello @ees1,

I'm so glad that you are able to be seen at Mayo in Florida! On Mayo Clinic's website, there is a Visitor Guide which you might find helpful. Here is the link, https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/florida. As you can see, there is information about lodging.

I hope that you find your visit helpful and informative. I would be interested in hearing about your appointment and experience at Mayo.

Will you post an update after your appointment?
