2-Star Hotels in Rochester

I stayed here 2 nights in late August of 2021 in Room 304. I was here on pleasure checking out Rochester again since living here once for several years in the 1970s during my early childhood. The hotel is located in a complex with multiple buildings around in front. The other buildings in front are restaurants and shops. There is a good pizza place and a philly steak sandwich in one the buildings. Also McDonalds is within walking distance or about 100-150 yards away. Head left from the hotel entrance through the parking lot till you get to the street and turn right. McDonalds is on the other size of that street on the street corner. The front of the hotel has a large overhang roof in front of the main door. So you would not get wet if raining. You walk through two automatic sliding doors to enter. Upon enter the lobby the reception desk is immediatley on your left. You keep going straight to reach the grey color elevator. The breakfast area I think is on the right side or opposite the reception desk(not sure since I did not try it). On my floor, the ice machine(push button to drop in bucket) and soda pop machine were next to the entry hall to the elevator. Interestingly the flooring in the hallway for the elevator is tiled whereas the hallway is carpeted. Upon enterin my room the bathroom is on your left. Upon entering there is a large wide counter with a single sink in the middle of iton the left. The toilet is opposite the bathroon door and the shower(no bath). The bathroom is just big enough for 1 person but it would be a little tight with more than 1. Just past the bathroom on the left is an open closet with hangers to hang your clothes on. There is a shelf above the hanger along with an iron and ironing board. Opposite the open closet is a small metal sink with a good size refrig underneath and a microwave above the sink. There is a small cabinet above the small microwave. I should mention the flooring in this area is tile until get to the bedroom area which carpeted. Past the closet on the left are two queen bed. There is a night table in between witha table top of roughly 19 inches by 2 feet. There is an alarm clock, lamp with one free electircal outlet on it, and the hotel phone. There is at least 4 feet seperating the beds. Between the closet and the first bed is a short flat table with a 5 foot wide sofa behind it against the wall. On the opposite side of the room staring where the carpet start is a small dinning table with two chairs on both sides of it. Then a folding luggage rack. Then a 3 wide drawer cabinet(3-4 feet wide). The roughly 36 inch flat screen TV is on top. Then a sofa chair and small circular table next to it finihes that side. There is a very large wide window along the back of the hotel room with curtains . The AC unit is below the winow. I did not see any else other than soap bar provided by the hotel. Nothing else. The Wifi worked well. There is an access code you use to acc

Room was Sparkling Clean! The pillows were lumpy/hard, Mattresses Good. But being that the Minnesota weather was very warm, the vending machine (coin-op) goods were all melted and sodas warm. The air Conditioner would work, but not maintain a So I slept maybe 3-4 hours? Oh, also should mention there’s No elevator so I carried my suitcase up the steps Television was 24-in.,, The toilet wouldn’t flush.

This was the second time we have stayed at this location and the service has been very consistent…ABSOLUTELY 100% EXCELLENT!!! It is nice to feel the workers truly care especially when most of the customers are dealing with medical issues that stay there. 😍

This hotel no longer shuttles to the Mayo Clinic, which was one of my primary reasons for staying there in the past. My room was horrifically dirty. There was a used juice pack in one of the drawers, there were nuts on my bed, there was food on the floor, there was a used coffee filter in the coffee maker and no new coffee filter available for me. Some of the towels looked used. I honestly don't think there was an attempt to clean this room other then putting new garbage bags in. I'm not totally convinced that I had new sheets. The bed was made, but I ended up sleeping in my clothes because it felt disgusting. The heater wouldn't blow warm air. I ended up just shutting it off. I got cold in the middle of the night and turned it back on, it worked then. The housing fell off the heater as well. My tv wouldn't show captioning unless it was muted. The remote wouldn't work to adjust that. I need captioning with my hearing loss, and not at the expense of sound. They no longer serve breakfast. I went down to the lobby at about 6:50 and saw about 5 breakfast bags sitting on a table by happenstance. I went back down at about 7:10 and the kitchen was still closed and no breakfast bags. There was an apple sauce, some crackers, and a water in the bags. This hotel has really gone down in the dump since last year. This would have been my 5th or 6th stay since 2019. The elevator and hallway was unclean. (dirt or mud) You can smell cigarette smoke in the building. There were cigarette butts in the stairwell. It is my understanding that this hotel has switched to more long term tenants at the cost of satisfactory cleanliness, services, and breakfast. I will not be returning here for my follow up Mayo visits. This cost me an extra $8.00 for one day of parking at mayo along with the headache of trying to find a parking spot since this hotel cancelled shuttle services.

The facility is new, clean and well cared for. The staff was very professional, as well as friendly with excellent customer service as their first priority The price was fair. I enjoyed the breakfast each morning with a large variety of items to eat. The swimming pool was a bonus. I would highly recommend this motel, as my experience was 5 star! I plan to return whenever I am in town. Very safe for the solo traveler. Beautiful scenery and location in Rochester Minnesota

This is one of the best stays we've ever had at a hotel! They are remodeling because it recently has new owners and is now a Holiday Inn Express, no longer a Comfort Inn. The new owners are amazing and helpful, especially the woman manager/owner. Everyone is very pleasant. Housekeepers do an awesome job refreshing your room daily. Oue room had an EXCELLENT BED with good pillows, new sheets/bedding. The room was extremely clean, new tile, carpet, paint, blinds. Great lighting. New sink& mirror in bathroom with perfect lighting. Plenty of coffee packets! Our room was perfect! The lobby area was being worked on when we were there, but it really didn't pose a problem at all. It was still safe to walk through. Breakfast was scaled back a little due to the remodel but there were plenty of choices. The ice machines have't been hooked up yet but we just bought our own ice, not a problem. The hotel is 4 miles from Mayo clinic but there is a shuttle. It's an easy drive if you drive yourself. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood. No street noise at all.

BEWARE!! I stayed here while my wife had major surgery at Mayo. The reviews seemed fine. To summarize, on the third night (of a week long reservation) I returned from Mayo to find that hotel staff had touched and removed all of my personal belongings, took them out of the room, and placed them behind the front desk. I was told their system showed me as a one night stay and that they attempted to contact me for clarification, but since I wasn’t able to be reached they removed my items. I showed them my phone (which showed no calls from the hotel as well as my reservation # showing I had a 7 night reservation. The manager refused to come in and address the issue that evening. They did provide me with another room and gave me an excuse of an audit that messed up all of the reservations. All of my cold items were left out all day so they were ruined. I think the grossest thing is that they had to touch all of my personal items to bag them up because obviously i had everything spread out in the room as I was set to stay for a week. Someone would have had to grab my underwear from a drawer and grab my toothbrush to put it into a bag. Those are just quick examples but imagine if someone did that to your items! The next day I again asked to speak to the manager. I was told he wasn’t available. The front desk manager then blamed ME for the mistake. I He said I should’ve made a longer reservation than one day. I went to show him my reservation email and he blew it off and said he didn’t care. never have had anything like this ever happen to me. I would caution all of who think “it can never happen to me” …. are you willing to take that chance with this hotel? There are so many other hotels near Mayo Clinic I would NEVER Recommend anyone staying here. If you have a loved one who is undergoing a procedure at Mayo the last thing you need is a hotel who touches your personal items, removes your items from your room, and then refuses to respond to you.
