Had a great stay. The location has great access to Mayo Clinic. The hotel is connected by the underground and skywalk systems. It has great restaurants close by- within a block and 2 inside the hotel. The room was clean and the staff changed towels daily. The bathroom was a bit small but that was expected in this historic hotel. But it was clean and everything worked well. There are lots of plugins too which is appreciated. We had to change our hotel stay and the staff were fantastic to work with.
