Tips: Traveling to Mayo to get medical care safely during COVID-19

We are driving by car it is a four and half hour drive. Going day early to have the Virus test and two days of testing and doctor's visits. I wasn't crazy about riding a shuttle bus, with so many people. We have been there two times and buses have been almost full. So staying downtown at the Brentwood Inn & Suites. I was happy with the price, thought it would be a little higher. Wondering if anyone has stayed there, supposely you can walk to Clinic in subway entrances. Hoping that this will work out for us.

@nw945, Last week my husband and I stayed at the Brentwood. We like it because it is convenient, quiet, and we have always found it to be clean. This time I called in advance and had a conversation with housekeeping and was satisfied with what i was told. There is no restaurant or pool or workout area, and some people think the rooms are small. Wheelchairs are available if needed. They have free parking, too!
You are correct, it is connected to the subway so you don't even have to go outdoors if you choose. There was a entry statioin setup inside the subway so you are able to be screened before you proceed into the Mayo complex.
Mayo Clinic Rochester has a free Conceirge Service if you are wondering about additional resources for your visit. I used the chat line and it was very helpful for my specific needs.
