Kahler Grand Hotel
Great location, great service, with access to Mayo Clinic via underground access. Only issue is there always seems to be minor issues with the rooms. Broken bathroom door once , TV access failed once, no soap once, —-the Tavern downstairs had a person who spoke no English and could not make him understand. ...

Hotel Indigo Rochester – Mayo Clinic Area by IHG
The hotel looks beautiful, very clean and roomy. Yet when I went to take a shower this morning, only drips of water without much pressure came out. Very disappointing. When I checked out, lady at desk just apologized for the shower not working. Won’t stay there again.
