Top Rochester Hotel Reviews

EVEN Hotel Rochester - Mayo Clinic Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, well kept, comfy beds, nice staff"

Staybridge Suites Rochester - Mayo Clinic Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and helpful: The rooms are well appointed (good size refrigerator, coffee maker, silverware), clean and spacious. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! Breakfast was pretty average fare. The coffee is pretty cheap. Other than that, we loved everything about the hotel. We would stay here again when visiting the Mayo Clinic."

Holiday Inn Express Rochester South - Mayo Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The first room we were given did not have a working AC unit nor a working landline phone to call the desk. (Walking down to talk to the gal at the desk was easy, I just found it humorous that I couldn’t call her from the room. The second room we were given was awesome! And breakfast was great (pancake machine, omelets, biscuits and gravy, etc) I would stay here again if we are in the area."
