Sub-par this time, usually good.
Rm 1058 was sub-par for this hotel. Bed and pillows were not comfortable. Bathroom was extremely small with no place to put anything down, even a toothbrush. Shower head was low. Water temperature in shower was uneven. Gap under door to adjoining room had a huge gap at the bottom and they were noisy. Light also streamed in under the door to hallway. We'll return to this hotel due to its proximity to Mayo Clinic Gonda Building, because we've had good experiences in the past. We'll just be sure to book straight with the hotel and specify our room preferences.

I like staying here because you never have to go outside. You can take the elevator to the subway to the labs or your doctor's office. It's very convenient, especially in the winter.

Disliked: Cleanliness
My stay was terrible. First the heater in the room didn’t work. The room was freezing cold. Although they changed the room for me but the new room’s bathtub was dirty and yellow water was running from the hot water faucet. And there was something in the bed sheets that was biting. By then I was too tired to call the reception again. End result was that I could not sleep most of the night and couldn’t take a shower in the morning. I will never stay in this hotel again.

Not my first choice
The roo. We had was very much in need of a face lift. The bed was too firm, room was hot, batroom was small. The shower was very difficult to maintain the water temperature, it was scolding hot or freezing cold, it took a lot of effort to make it tolerable. Location was very convenient to the Mayo Clinic. However this will not be our first choice on our next visit.

My room was adjacent to nearby smoke stacks. When I commented that the smoke was in my room, the front desk said “oh, that’s because it’s cold.” I didn’t think smoke in a room should be dismissed. I found front-desk staff to be abrupt and not helpful. The Kahler is very convenient- but as long as I’m able to walk- I’d consider other hotels in the future.

There are obvious signs of neglect, like the signs by the elevators that say fitness center on level M except on level M where the signs say fitness is in level 11. That took me twenty minutes to figure out. They are on level M, lol.
