@aar9 Hello and welcome to Connect! I can tell you that Colorado and Mayo Clinic in Rochester are 2 of my favorite places!

The first thing you may want to do is sign into your patient portal. Your scheduled appointments will be listed on a guide for you so you know where to be and you can print it out. That may also be a determining factor as to the hotel that you decide on to find one convenient to where you need to be. I would direct questions about how many days you will need to get all your appointments and testing done to your cardiologist. Typically they say it is completed within a week, and my own experience was 3 days the first time I came to Mayo and all my tests were done. Sometimes you can get in early by waiting as "standby". The hotels closer to Mayo Clinic are more expensive, but many have free shuttle services to all Mayo Clinic Campuses including St. Mary's Hospital and special Mayo patient rates, and Mayo also has their own shuttles between the downtown campus where the Gonda and Mayo buildings are and the Mayo hospitals. Many hotels have rooms with fully equipped kitchens, so you can prepare your own meals.

If you need someone to escort you to appointments, Mayo can arrange that for you. There are free Concierge services and will assist you in finding information for hotels, escorts, etc. Mayo may have mailed a campus map to you, but you can also find the link to that in this Blog about St. Mary's Hospital.
