Being so close to Mayo Clinic, the staff at the Kahler is completely understanding that the people staying at their hotel may be going through a really difficult time. They not only treat everyone with kindness, but they are extremely flexible which is a relief when you might not know how long you need to be in Rochester.

convenient place to stay if you’re going to the Mayo, lots of restaurants you can walk to. You do have to pay to park in the ramp. There is not a complementary breakfast. They do have a complementary happy hour with wine and snacks. Rooms are small but clean, comfortable bed and pillows. Pool area is nice.

An old well kept hotel. Very clean and excellent staff. The Lord Essex restaurant had excellent choices on the menu and everything we tried was delicious. Staff was very pleasant and efficient . Only complaint would be the music on the mall was very loud in our room and annoying. Will stay here again and ask for a room off the mall side.
