To be clear it is Marriott Residence Inn at Mayo Clinic even though thay mention Desert Ridge in name. Another much more expensive Marriott hotel and Spa at Desert Ridge is 6 minutes away. I stayed at the Residence Inn for my interviews and tests; cooked in my kitchen or got take out. The Residence Inn has microwavable meals and a free hot breakfast. Whole Foods was a shuttle or uber ride just down Mayo Blvd as well as several restaurants. There is a large shopping center Market Place at Desert Ridge about 2.5 miles from Mayo clinic that has Albertson grocery; CVS; Target; movie theater; restaurants etc. Also movie theaters opposite Whole Foods on Mayo Blvd. For fun I recommend the Museum of Musical Instruments at Mayo Blvd and Tate. Has a delicious restaurant, beautiful courtyard and unbelievably interesting study of music (costume and dance) from cultures around the world. Several evening performances during the month all wrapped up in a beautifully designed building. I plan to be at Residence Inn mid April for my 1 year transplant anniversary. I will have a car as I am coming up from Tucson 2+ hours away. If you are going to be thete April 16 to 19 I can drive you to areas the shuttle doesn't reach.
