The Berkman

Staff was helpful

Very clean

When checking in, the staff was friendly and explained everything. Checking our was fast and easy. Had multiple things to do on level 4 like shuffle board, pool table, weight room, etc

Wonderful check-in experience. The room was spacious and clean. Nice and quiet. Great to have the Red Cow attached to the Hotel!!

We have stayed at the Berkman many times and they accommodate us and our dogs with kindness, friendliness and patience.

My husband and I stayed at the Berkman for 17 days while our son was hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic. It was an oasis from the stress that comes with having a loved one in the hospital. In fact, the Berkman kind of recharged my battery so I could go back to the hospital and be strong for our son. The caring, welcoming staff made us feel at home throughout our stay. The staff member who works the night shift was particularly sweet. She greeted me (and everyone else) like an old friend each morning when I entered the lobby to catch the morning shuttle to the hospital. The Berkman provides a free hourly shuttle to the Methodist Hospital. If I missed the shuttle, I walked across the street to St Mary’s Hospital and took the Mayo Clinic shuttle. It arrived every 20 minutes or so. This saved us from parking downtown and reduced our need to rely on Uber. Sounds like a small point, but I appreciated the free FLAVIA coffee brewer coffee in the lobby, especially as I was out the door very early. Yes, I could have prepared coffee in the room because it came stocked with fresh coffee beans, grinder and drip coffee maker but the coffee from those little packets was great. We had an airy spacious two-bedroom apartment style suite. It included a fully stocked kitchen with an oven so we could make proper meals and avoid going out to eat. There is a grocery store within walking distance (Fresh Thyme) and many other grocery store options with a few miles drive. The hotel apartment was well appointed but we would have appreciated a coffee or side table in the living room space. The facility was spotless and included a large exercise room with lots of equipment. I had hoped to use that room/equipment more but had little time outside of the hospital. If I could give the Berkman 6 stars I would. While I hope we don’t need to travel back to the Mayo Clinic, if we do, we’ll return to the Berkman.

We stayed at The Berkman while my husband was being seen at Mayo. The Berkman staff was very kind and helpful during our stay. The apartment we stayed in was clean, and peaceful which was wonderful to have post operatively for him.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all staff for their warm welcome and excellent treatment of us as their guests for the third time during our treatment trip to the Mayo Clinic

The Berkman is our go to place to stay in Rochester, MN. If you’re coming to Rochester and want a place that feels like home, has every amenity you actually use, and puts you as close to Saint Marys as physically possible, The Berkman is the obvious choice. The rooms are excellent, the amenities are plentiful, the location simply can’t be beat, and the staff is quick to address your needs. We really enjoy staying there when in town and don't ever consider other options at this point.

Loved the place however the 2 fire alarms for a 2 day stay was a detriment to the ambiance. If you take the shuttle to the Gondo building be prepared for the hard working flamingo shuttle driver. She loves her customers and her job.
