We stayed here on a Saturday night for a convention. I had two rooms reserved and one was available at 4:00 and other not quite ready. After being told it would be 15 mintues or so for housekeeping to finish, we waited and waited. At about 5:00, the agent at the front desk said (only after we had to ask)... More

We got a room for $68 per night, which was great for our week long stay for Mayo Clinic treatment. Parking was $14 per night, so if you have a rental car return it the day you arrive because there is a shuttle that leaves every 15 minutes and will take you to WalMart, Target and many other places for...

I was going to stay here for a month and I wanted to see my room before I booked it, so I asked the big blonde girl at the front desk (who I heard was the front desk manager and looks like she hates her job and her life) ) if I could see the $65 room I was quoted... More

I checked into an economy $65 room on Sunday, May 6 and after two room changes, I checked myself out. I expected a small room and dated, but the cleanliness of the room was terrible! Hair shavings in the medicine cabinet, dried "something" on the kleenex protector, nightstand, and desk, one inch of dust on the bed and the night... More

I stayed at the Kahler with some friends while attending a convention in Rochester. I had stayed there several years ago with my husband & had a nice stay. However, right before heading to Rochester for this trip, I happened to check TripAdvisor for reviews on this hotel. I was very disappointed when I read all of the unsatisfactory reviews.... More

If you just need a room to sleep in before or after appointments at the Mayo, this will do just fine. It is literally out the door or through the tunnel. Now for the drawbacks. Our room was old style, very sparse on outlets and the ones the had were very hard to get at (behind bed and dresser). When... More

I stayed at the Kahler Grand in Rochester, MN on my visit to Mayo clinic in April, 2013. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stayed there over the past four years and I have always been pleased. The staff is always so pleasant, helpful and caring. The rooms are clean and the refurbished room I stayed in was... More

Booked into an "Economy Room" and it couldn't be called by a better name. Very small room, small bed, even smaller shower/toilet area, sink around corner in a alcove. Almost had to leave the room to turn around. Worst thing was, when we went to check out, they charged us for parking but not the others in our group. I... More

Stayed here during FableCon 2013 and had a pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable. The best thing about the hotel is if you come for a conference during the cold or snowy months you can avoid going outside for the duration of the trip. The hotel is linked via a skyway to... More
