I spent five days at this Hilton location, with visits to the nearby Mayo Clinic during the visit…read more The location is a few short blocks from the clinic, despite the ongoing construction, so that's a huge bonus. Check in was a breeze, and the valet service was quick to greet us, help us unload our bags, and get our car whisked off for parking. The front desk attendant was so quick and offered us some food suggestions while they worked on getting us our room. After taking the elevator up to our floor, we got situated and relaxed a bit before checking out the space. The room was spacious, and included all the amenities we've come to expect from a Hilton property. Everything was clean and well maintained, and thanks to Hilton Honors, we had our complimentary water bottles already in the room. The beds had lovely linens on them, and the pillows were quite fluffy, which is something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in hotels I feel. The bathroom was also wonderful with a nice deep soaking tub, which I had the pleasure of taking for a spin one evening. The bathroom sink had great water pressure, which gave me a lot of hope for the shower, but the shower just lacked that same oomph.

The great: the club and the employees in it. The aesthetics. Netflix and other streaming services…read more The pool and sauna. The good: location and ease to getting to/from Mayo Clinic. Overall it's quiet. Loved the bidet! The happy hour at the adjacent restaurant was on point. The meh: Unclear arrival instructions, there was no valet outside despite telling us we had to use valet. So we self parked. Just confusion. I also didn't care for the soap/shampoo/conditioner smell. It overpowered the room. Because it was also very cold, the windows kept cracking and the sidewalk plow outside was so loud I thought someone was vacuuming above our room. Maybe I'm just over assuming but I feel like the windows should have kept more of that noise out. The ick: I'm pretty sure at least 2 sets of our towels were just re-hung up from the prior occupant of our room, both due to smell and appearance (see picture). In all my years of staying at hotels not once have i ever even suspected that is the case, until this stay. Overall, my general impression is that this is a great Hilton property. But that housekeeping issue for me will honestly prevent me from returning next time. This was more a 2.5 for me, but the positives far outweighed the negatives so 3 stars it is.

We absolutely loved the hotel and the staff: front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, breakfast crew, shuttle drivers....wow, like an extension of the clinic - all expressing concern for the guests at the hotel, down to earth yet still very professional. Thank you for making this such a nice experience. Everything always well-stocked and cold water bottles offered for free, coffee anytime - it really did feel like home. After my Mom's grueling 2 days of appointments, we were so happy to walk into our lovely, spacious room with the full kitchen. I hope this review helps a little for those running the hotel, keep up the great work!

It is close by and I believe they also offer a shuttle service, which is really useful. The hotel itself is nice, the rooms have always been clean during my stays, and it seems like they have been renovated fairly recently. The front desk staff has also always been friendly and helpful. If you need a convenient place to stay near the hospital, this is definitely a solid choice.

I like everything about this place. If you are staying in…read moreRochester to receive services from Mayo Clinic, this place is a peaceful, calm, near-by option. The shuttle drivers are very, very helpful, and the subtle runs from early, around 5 AM, until 7 PM. The complementary food served in the morning is delicious, and the coffee shop is good, too. This was my second time staying for a week or more, and the staff was good to me night and day. I very much enjoyed the full-size refrigerator, and the kitchenette with supplied cooking equipment and silverware. The non-carpeted floor in the entryway/kitchen/bathroom was clean, and the carpeted area seemed clean, too. I do wish they provided handheld shower, heads, but oh well... certain people can't be trusted with that kind of responsibility, right? For this price point, with the Mayo patient discount, I felt like I got my moneys worth.

Secondly, it would be hard to exaggerate how thoroughly the staff here tries to please the guests. Milton, Jen, Nick and Kyle are the only three names I can recall offhand, but we dealt with a dozen in our two month stay and every last one from housekeeping to the manager was incredibly friendly, helpful and bent over backwards for any request.

If you have a small-to-midsize conference, the Kahler is really well situated. Downtown, good meeting spaces, near lots of bars and coffee shops. My biggest complaint about the meeting space is a common one with conference centers- too dang cold! They have upgraded the rooms. My king was spacious and comfortable plus clean. Staff was friendly and attentive. Decent exercise Room. My only real complaint is that there was no auto close on the door. You have to remember to pull it shut. Overall a nice place to spend a night in Rochester.

This hotel gets low scores, and our experience disagrees with that evaluation. Our room is the…read more1-bedroom suite with two bathrooms. It's large, with a microwave and small refrigerator, a separate living room, and- did I mention the two bathrooms. The Hilton Garden Inn is not new, and the furnishings are a step below IKEA, but it's a Hilton Garden Inn with prices that reflect that branding. This is not an expensive hostelry. I don't think there's an attached restaurant. Breakfast will probably stink, but within a half block are nice restaurants and bars. They even run a shuttle to the Mayo clinics and Mayo buildings. We stayed at the more upscale Hilton. There's no microwave in the rooms at the Hilton Downtown, and the Hilton does not have a 1-bedroom suite. It's also a lot more expensive. I did have one major criticism of the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Rochester: The women at the check-in desk were not welcoming, and they appeared angry. They were the only people I encountered during my times in Rochester who were not warm and helpful. Everyone else in this town is as nice as they can be. A smile can do wonders, even for yourself.

Parking is still hot as heck on the lower level.

One star. Avoid this place at all costs…read more What a nightmare. We had two prepaid rooms and the problems started the moment we arrived. There was a long line to check in and a long wait to get rooms assigned. We finally got in and got our two keys for the two rooms, we dropped our luggage in one room, and left. Of course, the parking garage did not work with our key card, so back we went and waited in line again. The parking access was added and when we came back, neither room key worked. Back down to the lobby to wait in line again. The front desk reissued keys, but when we went back to open the second room, someone else's belongings were inside! At that point they said they would comp our entire stay and moved us into a larger room at the Staybridge Suites connected in the same building. That was the one nice gesture, except it didn't hold up. After we got home, not only was our prepaid stay never comped, we were charged additionally on top of it! I had to call my credit card company to dispute it, and when they tried to reach the hotel directly, they couldn't get through after more than thirty minutes on hold. This was at around 2 PM on a normal weekday. This is a terribly managed hotel with undertrained staff. One employee helping us was on her second or third day; another had just finished her first week. Nobody seemed equipped to handle even basic check-in, let alone the billing disaster that followed. Save yourself the headache and book somewhere else.

When…read morereceived email confirming reservation it didn't say the nightly rate (should have been 1st clue). Looked on my Bonvoy account which showed it. When checked in, rate was $30 higher a night than was quoted originally. Told employee rate I was quoted. She was by herself at front desk and line of people. So get that she was stressed but didn't exhibit good customer service. Recommend not staying in 410 unless sound sleeper. There's a loud noise that goes off and on at night (not the AC or fan). It's from outside of room. Moved bedding to bathroom and slept on bathroom floor. Checkout person said may have been ice maker.

CASH FRIENDLY LOCATION!!! I just checked in using a voucher…read morefrom another Hampton Inn that fell short and gave me a free stay voucher to fix it. As you can see in the pics... nice room. The room was clean and tucked in to Hampton Inn standards. This is the studio king on the 3rd floor. Very easy access off of the highway. Jenny did everything she could do to make check-in fast, friendly, and productive. I asked for a few favors if they were possible and she knocked it out of the park on every one of them. If I had to judge from this one interaction and framed in the perspective of my last few hotel stays in this country.... I would say that Hampton has a real asset in this employee. I have only been here long enough to write this and I can say I am likely to return. Every step was up to par with what the traditional Hampton Inn experience should be and the reason I look for this brand first. PROS: great pricing.... only a $1 upgrade to get a studio. WiFi works fine, room was clean and everything works, front desk staff, quiet/clean neighborhood, and ease of getting to the location. BEING TREATED LIKE A CUSTOMER who's business is valued! CONS: located away from shopping. There is a Walmart and a couple restaurants across the highway, but location is otherwise residential. I love this, but I know many want food right by. The mall and all the food you could want are within a 5-7 minute drive though. Really the only con I could find. Conclusion: making my list of go to locations. Unless something happens while here(and I ill update you if needed) this is a model Hampton Inn location.
