Rochester Marriott Mayo Clinic Area

Great staff. Really wanted to accommodate us and they did.

Just a little pricey.

The staff, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good.

Thought the hotel would have it's own parking. Had to use Valet which was ok, but more expensive.

Very convenient. Nice bar and good food

Did not have the room I booked and didn’t seem to want to make any accommodation. Frustrating. They finally did but certainly seemed to be an effort.

The staff is world class and that is what makes this property stand out. As Marriotts go, this isn't an exceptional property. Its basic and clean, but the location in proximity to Mayo Clinic, along with its connections via pedestrian tunnels means its the go-to property. That makes the surge pricing a little eye watering during conventions or busy times of year. However, if you lay the price against renting and parking a car, it comes out about even to just stay within walking distance.

Room pricing swings dramatically. The rooms facing in toward the indoor pool only get diffused natural light, so if you want sun, make sure you request an outside room. The on sight restaurant Salute has a nice wine selection but a somewhat limited menu. However, there are lots of restaurants within walking distance.

Location

Room was very worn. Toilet was difficult to get up off (barely a normal height), bedsheets had holes in them, front desk staff not very helpful - could not assist me with transportation to airport for example
