Clean spacioue suite room! We were very pleased! The only thing I would change would be to add a life guard for the pool area. Kids were running rampant while parents just sat and talked. I have children but this was crazy! They were flying down the slide in groups! Another group took turns screaming for 30 min. Otherwise everything was fantastic!

I was staying for appointments at the Mayo Clinic. I arrived on Monday and found out that i needed to extend one night due to testing. I spoke to two different people which both said id need to check out and check back in. I was fine with this. On the day i was to move rooms the manager said they were full and i couldn't move as was the agreement. She was very rude and did not care i had appointments at the Mayo and i had been there since Monday. Very Rude. Should be more accommodating to customers who are already established there. Won't be staying there again

Good family fun

Great room and amenities. Good customer service. The arcade machines were not working and my daughter put money in the sheen and the staff member made sure she got her money back. The pool and slide were very fun for the children. However it did not seem like the air conditioning was working in the hallways at all but it was cool in our room
