@migizii, My husband and I usually stay at the Brentwood Inn on 4th Ave NW. It is clean, quiet, free parking, and has subway access directly to the clinic. An added bonus for us is that it is near the entrance to the Charlton labs where I begin my day.

You might want to contact the free Concierge Service at Mayo Rochester. I used the chat line as I was planning our trip, very helpful with my restaurant questions and other updates that I wanted to know.
Here's how to contact them during Central time business hours.
* Phone: 507-538-8438

* Email: concierge@mayo.edu

In advance, be aware that there is lots of road work in downtown Rochester. . Broadway is closed from 2nd St SW to Civic Center Drive. Detours are well marked

You have made me laugh! Along I-39 in Illinois, there were lighted overhead signs with COVID19 messages. Here is one that I remember reading. "You sure look good in that mask".
A tip that I learned from my opthamalogist here at home was to put a small piece of tape on the underside at the top of nose my homemade mask so it would stay in place when I talked. So I tried it, I took a small piece of some surgical tape and doubled it over so it was sticky on both sides, and It worked! No more slipping down my face.

@rosemarya, Not planning a trip to Mayo, but the covid overhead sign brought a smile! Thanks too, for the sticky tape idea to hold the mask in place on the nose...no surgical tape on hand but have some electrical I will try...don't think masking or painter's tape would be strong enough.

Thanks for the information! I will look into I!😊😊😊
