They had the larger bottles of water for $1.25 each. Additionally, they have snacks, souvenirs, hair care, skincare, Tylenol, greeting cards, puzzles, books and magazines. Everything is very appropriately priced. I just didn't notice a lot of trial sized products, everything was full sized. If you happen to need something in Rochester, the Eagle Store will likely have it.

We reserved a table for 20+ for Easter. The food was mediocre to poor and seriously overpriced. It…read morewas a buffet with little imagination, variety or color- and even less flavor. The same could be said of the ambiance. On the plus side: The potatoes were good. The ham was ok, but like a pressed roll, not a true ham. The green salad was fresh and the dressings were tasty, however, I don't remember any toppings except croutons and shredded cheese. On the negative side: There was no cooked green vegetable. They were out of scrambled eggs both times I went up. The coating on the chicken was moist and unappealing. Nobody liked the potato salad. The 2 dessert selections were store-bought pies, and the cheap kind. We took a couple bites and it just wasn't worth finishing. The only decoration was the bling hanging permanently from the ceiling. The big stage was rough & unattractive & unadorned. The tables were fake wood-grained folding style with no cloths. The dishes were paper, the cutlery and glasses were plastic. There were no flowers on the tables or ANY indications of the special holiday being celebrated: Easter. We might as well have been in a high school gym. The waiters did 3 things: took our beverage orders and delivered them; removed used plates; wrote our checks and took our money. They never came to see if we needed drink refills or ask if everything was ok. It was an insult to disappoint an entire family on a special occasion and not only charge $22 per adult, but charge a 3% surcharge for using a credit card and charge extra for drinks. We actually left hungry! Our family will NOT be returning.

It's also close to Mayowood Mansion, a highlight of Rochester if you're wanting to play tourist in the area. The hotel was quite busy the weekend I stayed so there were longer lines at breakfast and certainly more hall traffic and noise throughout the day. One critique I'd provide is needing more breakfast staff on hand. They ran out of plates and ran low on hot items. There were several of us standing around waiting for quite awhile. I just ended up putting other food in a napkin and taking it back to my room to eat. Not ideal but doable. For location, ambiance, and room quality, this Residence Inn is a solid choice. They just need to fine tune the breakfast experience during peak times.

We highly recommend.

When I walked in I noticed the place was not fancy but was remarkably clean and well cared for. The beds were comfortable and provided a solid night of sleep. Shower was perfectly clean. Not grime in the corners or dirty areas like in many other hotels. Subway level to Mayo builds as well as a shuttle service to other campuses as needed. Within walking distance of many eating establishments. As well as close enough for delivery if needed. This will be the only place we stay when we come for appointments at Mayo.

Then, go through the unsecured door in the rear of the building and walk down the long hallway to the front of the building, where the reception desk is. If you need a shuttle to Mayo buildings, this is where you can pick up a schedule - there is no information in the room. Here are the BEST things about this individually owned hotel(?) (motel?): * Free Parking!! * Connects directly to Mayo Clinic through the bright and airy "Subway" level!! (There is no train, it just sounds better than basement.) * low entry shower * medical style recliner * 2 different shades of lightbulbs over the sink AND in the room (bright white, soothing yellow) * DAILY maid service * frozen water machine on every floor They provide the average amenities: * free breakfast of mediocre quality but with a good Bigelow selection of tea * bar of soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner & lotion in travel sizes * small microwave * small refrigerator - turn it up when you get in the room: * small coffee(?) maker - they provide Tork brand coffee packets, powder creamer & sugar (not K-cup) * desk/dresser with a straight chair * nightstand complete with phonebook and Gideon's Bible The not so great ... at least for room 341 which was a 2 Double Bed: * the windows OPEN - ok, they are up off the ground and getting a breeze is nice but they FULLY open on the THIRD floor and it FEELS dangerous (I am NOT saying that it is, I am not a building inspector) * the air conditioner is in the wall and not appropriately weather-stripped ... every breeze camethrough across the heads of the beds * the beds, fully worn in down the center * the pillows, 2 "firm" that are just flat and 1 is so soft that you can roll it into the size of a softball * the sheets feel like canvas linen that they make the reusable bags out of, not the soft cotton that you want against your skin * the "comforters" on top of the beds are soft but thin - if you are chilly there is ONE velux type blanket on the shelf above the mixed-type hangers when you walk in the room door * no luggage rack or short flat area for for suitcase * the light switch for the bathroom was on the outside of the bathroom AND at least 6" away from the bathroom door jam * the toilet-paper was hung very close to the ground while the fixture was a standard height leaving a person to bend over to the side to grab and need a second hand to get the paper separated from the roll * the elevator by the office runs up and down from L(obby) level to 2,3,4 but if you want to go through the S(ubway) level you have to go along the long hallway (from RM 324) to a second elevator that runs S,2,3,4 (no level 1) The bad: * The door to the room appeared to close but could then still be opened, it had to be pulled extra firmly and double and triple checked * The bathroom door appears closed but will randomly pop open * If someone is in the bathroom with the door closed when the door to the room is opened or closed, the bathroom door will open on its own * the bathroom door opened less than 1" away from the end of the edge of the toilet (photo evidence) * the tissues feel like tissue-paper that you would use to wrap a present ... I could not use them on my nose When you get down to the Subway level there are new vending machines. Then you are in Mayo Clinic. You can get a wheelchair here if you need to borrow one. The markings for all the Mayo buildings are clear and straightforward. If you think you are lost, you probably have not gone far enough yet. When you want to return, follow signs for the Graham Parking Ramp. If you borrowed a chair, leave it outside of the Brentwood Inn. You should need your key to call the elevator to come take you up. However, on occasion the door to the steps (directly across from the elevator) may be propped open requiring no security. If you need a handicap accessible room, I would make sure that yours is when registering. My room had a long walk that included 2 steps to get to the elevator that took us down to the Subway. I have to say that despite many inconveniences and lack of creature comforts, if I needed the location, for the right price I might go back. However, I would probably go back to somewhere slightly further away and take the shuttle as needed.
