Nice hotel in very good location. I hope to stay here for all of my local business trips.
It was quiet with clean air in spite of some construction with a lot of dust going on out on the streets. We were given a room above the lobbey area where most of the patients stayed. We liked the convenience of being attached to Mayo Clinic and other venues via both the skyway and under-ground with just an elevator ride away.
The food in the Lobby restaurant was quite gourmet and very tasty, although definitely not cheap as in Kahler Grand next door. The atmosphere is totally different too and definitely more peaceful with fine dining services. The bar area is filled with Mayo professionals and very peaceful with easy listining music. The room service was out of this world with a roll- away table fully decked with cloth service!
The room as always is the case with Marriott - pretty comfortable; bed, luxurious with new comfortable mattress covered by allergen proof covers, feather quilts and pillows, plenty of extras, everything in working order, etc.
The bell boy brought us free water bottles with ice on our first day although the hotel does offer water bottles in the room for a fee.
We had negotiated the rate via priceline's half price and were fortunate enough to have our $115 a night rate accepted! I would not even think of staying at any other hotel!!!
