My wife and I have both recently ended up coming to Mayo in Rochester, unfortunately, quite a bit lately. We are close enough to make the drive but with a recent 6:45 appt. have decided staying over is not a bad idea. So was wondering if there is reasonably priced (100.00-ish?) accommodations in the area. Just a clean OK place to sleep is all we need. Nothing fancy...pools, restaurants, etc are not necessary. We know our way around town fairly well but would like to stay within a reasonable distance. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Michael

Hi @thatguy I agree, a 6:45 AM appointment warrants a fresh start from a hotel bed instead of a road trip.
I did a quick look and found quite a number of hotels in the price range of $115 and down. One is the Hilton Garden Inn for $91.00, which is very near the Clinic.
There are too many to list so my suggestion is to do what I just did. https://www.google.com/maps/search/Hotels/@44.0101405,-92.4807083,14.7z
Then zoom in to the clinic area and there’s a list of hotels with their prices popping up. Bear in mind the prices don’t necessarily include the county room tax and parking. But it will get you a ballpark figure.

Let me know what you find! What’s your favorite restaurant in Rochester?

Hi @thatguy! I recommend the Econolodge on S Broadway in Rochester. This has been my go to hotel for the last seven years. It is approximately 2 miles from the clinic. Clean rooms, with a wonderful continental breakfast, free shuttle to the clinic, Perkins restaurant next door, bare floors rather than carpet (which I absolutely love) and friendly staff. I am staying there this coming week for two nights. Only $87 + taxes a night which roughly is just about $101 a night for one room with two queen beds. There is an exercise room available along with an elevator.

This sounds perfect and I know right where it is....next to my favorite senior menu place! Best Potato pancakes ever! It will be our next stop to check out! Appreciate your time and advice!

You’re welcome! Happy to help! I can now legally order off the senior menu. 😂 That was the only place on their menu that I could find a chicken breast dinner. I had been ordering off that menu for years prior.

This is the really great part! I have animal dander issues and need pet free hotel/motels. So hard floors and no carpet sounded good . I called them just now and they said ya...we are sorry we don't allow pets (service animals I'm sure...) I said well that is great news! I always ask what is your pet policy, just so they don't tailor their answer to what they think I might want to hear. We are going to be there on July 8th and plan on staying there. I like the location too. Thanks again for your time and the info! Could be our new spot!

This amenity is now what convinces me to stay at a hotel when needed. Hard floors have to be a lot easier to clean. Happy to hear this hotel fits the bill for you. Again you are most welcome! Gives me the warm fuzzies when I can help out others!

Like nancy82415, we will be staying at the S Broadway Econolodge for 2 nights this week and we also have been staying there for about 7 or 8 years while at the Mayo Clinic.

Hopefully this account is still active, I have a question, if you don't book online, how else would you book? Just call them directly? New to this and I need to be there this Sunday. Thanks.
