What are your accommodation recommendations when coming to Mayo?

Thank you for the helpful information, yes this is my 1st visit there.

I have appts in mid-March and we have reservations at Fairfield Inn. I keep looking at hotels which are closer, but this seems to have the best reviews and has a shuttle. Our biggest struggle is knowing how long we will be there. I have a lot of appts that first week, then nothing for almost a week. They are trying to adjust, but so far haven’t been able to get that last appt moved up. We are debating whether to stay over or make a second trip.

I have been going to Mayo Clinic in Rochester for the last five years. I stay at the Econolodge on Broadway next to Perkins. Reasonably priced, clean rooms, wonderful continental breakfast, exercise room, friendly staff and free shuttle. Side note: the staff knows me by name when I walk in the door. 🙂

Hi @brendadunn1 and welcome. You'll notice that I moved your message to this discussion about lodging at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. If you scroll through the past posts you'll get plenty of tips about lodging and the shuttle service. Since you first posted in the Caregivers group, am I right in assuming you will be accompanying someone? Are you going to Mayo Clinic in Rochester? Let me know and I will connect you with others who have been there.

@brendadunn1 Hi, just checking to see if you’ve found some worthwhile suggestions for lodging and shuttle services for your trip to Mayo Clinic. Which campus will you be visiting? Rochester, Phoenix or Jacksonville?
How long will you need lodging? Many of the hotels have full kitchens which can make longer term stays feel homey.

If you are having any difficulty finding a hotel or have special needs, all Mayo facilities have free concierge services which can help you find lodging mindful to your financial and medical situation.

I no longer live in Rochester but I do have a friend that does short and long term rentals. (Started specifically to help people goingbto Mayo) You couldn't find lovelier people. Their website is: https://www.coveredbyfaithrental.com/. Wishing you the best.

@heidi2020 Perhaps your friend can list her rental availability with the concierge services at Mayo Clinic Rochester. I am not sure if the service would allow it to be part of their list of accommodations, but it is always worth a try. Many times, easing stress by having a "homey" place to rest up, is a wonderful alternative.

We have been there twice but can’t remember where we stayed . The first visit was 26 yrs ago, hotel had shuttle to the clinic. Lots of hotels that cater to clinic patients
Good luck
