I had a stem cell transplant in March of this year. I stayed at the aspen suites. They give you a discount for the Mayo appt rate. They allow animals as I had a dog with me. Animals are not suggested post transplant. Mayo does have a transplant house that you can stay at for I think around $30 a day. Only a private room and shared common areas and no animals are allowed. Hope this helps, reach out if you have any questions.
