I enjoyed my room and the pool area. I was disappointed to learn as I was checking out that $25 was taken from my security deposit for one night parking in the hotel public ramp. (Public parking is fee on weekends in Rochester.)

Due to construction it was difficult to figure out how to check in. When checking in we were told on site parking was full. The staff was very dismissive when asked about where to park. They circled 2 different ramps and told me "If those are full you can figure something else out, but I don't know where else you can park overnight." When trying to get assistance staff was too busy having gossip conversations with each other about other employees and were annoyed when asked for directions or recommendations for eating. This could be a really nice hotel if the staff was not so rude and dismissive of guests.

Parking was inconvenient and expensive considering the Mayo Parking Ramps are free on the weekends. Also, the Kahler ramp was completely full when we checked in so had to park down the road. One of the blinds also didn't work properly so couldn't block all the light from surrounding buildings.

Nice for short stays

We received a good deal through the app which was great because many of the other hotels were fully booked and we were booking same day. Although the hotel is beautiful from an architectural standpoint, it’s showing its age. The room was fine. The thermostat was not working so we couldn’t adjust the temperature in the room. Always chilly. Bathroom was small. Our stay was only two nights so it was fine for that, but I wouldn’t recommend for longer stays. People service was excellent!
