@jwcbroughton, welcome. @tanasmeme21 asked a similar question a little while ago, so I moved your question about housing in Rochester while at Mayo Clinic for 2 weeks to this existing discussion.

I encourage you to read through the helpful comments from fellow members. Since you'll also be going to St. Mary's, I think you'll appreciate this photo tour by @jenniferhunter

After reading through the comments, please post more questions about anything that may be missing or that you'd like to know.

@jwcbroughton, is this your first time to Mayo Clinic? May I ask what surgery you'll be having?

I had surgery at St.Marys. My family- husband and kids and sister traveled with me, we stayed at Aspen Suites. We got a 2 bedroom suite with a kitchen- this helped the kids and family not have to eat out every meal and they could walk across the street to see me. We were there for 12 days. We didn’t even have to rent a car. There is a shuttle that will take you to stores, and there is a grocery store nearby also. This was 2 years ago so maybe some has changed. At the time they also had a discount for Mayo patients. Best wishes Mayo is one of the most healing places.
