Looking for accommodation near Mayo Phoenix Arizona

Posted by Alaa @alaa0, Feb 2 5:40am

Hello everyone,

I am looking for short-term accommodation near Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona as I will be staying there for a month in March. Ideally, I would like a place that is close to the clinic, safe, and affordable.

If anyone has recommendations for housing options, shared accommodations, or rental listings, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions.

Hello @alaa0
Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. @roch is a walking encyclopedia for all things Mayo! I would add my input here, but tell you I have never been to the Phoenix campus. However, a close friend just spent two and half months there before and after a liver transplant. I asked her where she and her husband (and two dogs) stayed and this is her response:
Debra,
When I was looking for places near Mayo Phoenix, I used VRBO. Once you have the city selection in place, you can put Mayo Clinic in as a filter option.

This is the link to the VRBO we stayed in. Everyone has a different idea of what is affordable, but I found by directly messaging the host and explaining why we would be in Phoenix for so long, I was able to get a discount for long-term renting. Here is the link to one we stayed in: https://www.vrbo.com/582650

I hope that you find that information helpful in addition to what Laurie shared.

1) Sonesta Suites Gainey, Scottsdale. Large Mayo discount, huge rooms, breakfast, microwave in room. Convenient to go to Mayo. Next door is lovely shopping center with restaurants, grocery store, walking distance
2) Car rental at airport reasonable
3) I rented scooter to use at hotel. They deliver and pick up.
I did not want to be stranded at Mayo hotel. It’s sorta far from everything and I enjoyed tropical pool at hotel. Very nice personnel which makes a stay.

Hi, I also have spent many Days near Mayo Phoenix, March is a tough time for price as this is our tourist season. But I was able to find an extended stay type Hotel that offered weekly rates and gave discounts for Mayo Patients. It was 7 years ago now but even when Im only going up there for a few days use hotels near the campus. The cheapest hotel I found 2 miles from the campus was running about 180.00 a night in January when I had my yearly check-up. That was at Holiday Inn Express right near (walking distance) to a large mall with lots of restaurants.
The extended stay place I stayed right after transplant was further away about 15 minutes in scottsdale called Extended Stay. We stayed there about 3 weeks and what I liked about it was it had a small kitchen so we could save money preparing our own meals. they had weekly rates. II don't know the price now but i seem to remember it was under 100 a night for weekly rates. But there you will need a car.
I might also mention which I never heard of was my medical Insurance at the time was Blue Cross Blue Shield and seeing it was more than 50 miles away from my home (I live about 70 miles from mayo) they would reinburse me for hotels. that really helped a lot.

Hope you find a good place and if you have any questions I'm pretty familiar with the area. Like driving, traffic issues etc. Some of the Hotels Ive stayed in also.
