“Nice motel, conveniently located downtown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

The Kahler Grand Hotel was in an ideal location for appointments at the Mayo Clinic. There were ample elevators so little need to wait for a lift. The business center on the mezzanine was handy with several computers and printers for guest use. We stayed in a very small room with a queen bed. It was a bit cramped with very little room to move around. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were flat.
The pool area had a luke-warm whirlpool but a nice pool with a roof-top view of the city on 3 sides. There was a fitness area with treadmills, elipticals, steppers and weight machines, all fairly new.
The clinic, shopping and restaurants were all accessible via the subway or the skywalk. The majority of the stores in the subway area closed at 6 PM. Meals in the attached restaurant were good but a bit overpriced.
We will stay at the Kahler Grand Hotel again simply due to the convenience to the Mayo Clinic.

“Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

The hotel was very clean and the staff was wonderful. This is our go to hotel while in Rochester! The hotel is attached to the Mayo Clinic and several shops and dining. We had a wonderful lunch and dinner and were able to get to appointments easily.

We didn't have any issues during our stay. Parking was included with our room.

“Very convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

We have stayed at the Kahler Grand several times over the years and have always been very satisfied with the facility and the staff. Everyone was very helpful and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. We have been there both for medical appointments at the Mayo Clinic and for business as well as visiting friends in Rochester. The location is great for clinic appointments and also for business meetings downtown. The subway and skyway access means in bad weather(and Rochester in the winter can be bad) one need not venture outside. The Kahler Grand is an older Hotel with some recent upgrades. Most of the rooms are very comfortable and a good value for the money. We have stayed in other Hotels in Rochester and always return to the Kahler.

“Great location only steps from the Mayo Clinic with a great restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

The Kahler Grand is an old hotel that has been well maintained. The rooms with special hospital rates are inexpensive and quite comfortable. We had a room with two double bed (very comfortable), desk, flat screen TV, microwave, small fridge, free internet access. The room had modern furniture and the carpet and walls recently replaced. It was VERY clean and well maintained. The bathroom probably was the original bathroom but it also was clean. The sink and tub did not drain as fast as I would have liked and the shower head was just OK. I did not ask for either to be worked on but I imagine it would have been corrected. The hotel has a self service washer and dryer, each cost $1.00-good deal! The hotel restaurant The Grand was outstanding. The food reasonably priced, large portions and very tasty. There are many restaurants near by and there is an underground subway to make travel to other hotels, clinics and shops weather free. The attitude of the hotel staff was professional, can do, pleasant. I cannot say enough good things about the hotel.

Room Tip: We had a room away from the elevator that was very quiet but the hotel did not seems to be noisy.
