Arrived to find beard hair all over sink area and floor, there was no way it was cleaned. Didn’t bring up to staff due to arriving very late at night and needing sleep/up early next morning, otherwise I would have. Check in staff was nice/efficient, the only reason I gave a 2 star.

The room was clean and the location was convenient, but the water in our room smelled and tasted foul, and some of my mother's personal belongings went missing from our room while we were at the hospital all day. Overall not ideal.

We have been here before and enjoyed the pool area. This visit was a big disappointment. The air temp was cold, the pool water was cold, and the hot tub was warm at best. My hisband and I like to swim with our kids, but it was so uncomfortable that neither of us even got in. The kids hung in for a little while, but ultimately they just wanted to go back to the room. This trip was specifically a night away to swim and relax. It was between this and another hotel in a different town, we definitely made the wrong choice. Additionally, the breakfast in the morning - no orange juice, hot grape juice, coffee was gone. We opted to just check out early and find coffee/breakfast elsewhere.

Staff in November amazing & very clean rooms however when we stayed here in November 2024 the hot tub was out of service. We are back January 2025 and haven’t seen much staff front desk was ehh the pool is out of service so for a child who wants to swim in between and after tons of appointments at Mayo Clinic we are disappointed and so is she. Nothing was posted that they were closed or under construction or maintenance just taped up with water in them.

Would stay again

Not bad overall. Fridge in our room broke and froze all our food and drinks. They replaced it immediately. Breakfast was ok could use fresh fruit and more bread choices. No bagel or English muffin type breads. Pool was closed most of the trip hot tub was great. A lot of chlorine it even changed my swim suit color so don’t wear a good one. Room was clean and had plenty of space to spread out. Staff were helpful and friendly.
