Hi Shane, Finding inexpensive lodging around Mayo isn’t an easy task. The further away from the center of the city, hotels tend to be a little less.

Another idea would be to check in with Mayo Clinic’s Concierge Services. The concierge team provides free support for patients and helps with things like finding lodging, travel plans and such.
