Great place to stay when going to Mayo! Place is older but has been renewed and is in excellent condition. Very clean. Onsite shopping and restaurants are plentiful. You can get to everything while remaining inside dry and warm. Will most definitely stay here again.

Overnight stay prior to Mayo Clinic appointments

I was expecting a little more historical class as I have seen the interior of the hotel years ago. First time I wanted to stay there. After a long drive and long wait lines to check in, come to find out there was no hot water, and pipes were rusted both the sink and shower. I was told could not relocate to a different room after the maintenance guy confirms the problem. A few hours later, I was assigned to a different room but not without giving up my current room key. Luckly, my wife was in the room to get the door. A bell hop person helped me move. Same floor but on the far other end of the wing. The rooms are small and very difficult to get a wheelchair inside. I cannot say it's all bad, but I was not impressed. The main lobby was remodeled which looks cold. It took away the antique of the warm class as some of the other hallways were left preserved. Next time I am staying at the Merriott Hotel - more expensive but way more comfort for the money - that I have experienced

We stay at Kahler Grand because of it’s location to Mayo and use the elevator to Subway to access Mayo Clinic. Very surprised to find out there’s no security measure…anyone can use the elevator to access the hotel!!!
