Anyone Familiar W/Hotels Near Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN?

cinnamonsmiles

I have a lung condition that is as dangerous as cancer for me called Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. Basically, I am having an allergic inflammatory response in my lungs that creates masses and destroys my lung tissue (we can't identify what the culprit in my enviornment is). Mine seems to be particularly aggressive and came back only a few months after having a plum sized mass removed via thoracotomy. My CT Scan in December showed growths in both lungs now.

My pulmonologist is at a loss on how to help me, so he referred me to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Mayo sent me a booklet on local o hotels and said that most, if not all, near Mayo have shuttle services.

I need a clean room with absolutely no smoking near.

Has anyone used any hotel s near Mayo in Rochester that are reasonably priced (or better yet, offered a discount for patients?) and had an enjoyable stay?

I was not sure where to post this, so I will try in several spots on the boards.

Thank you for your help!

cinnamonsmiles, I've stayed many times at the Brentwood Inn & Suites. It is only a block and a half from Methodist hospital and 2 blocks from the Gonda and Mayo buildings. It's a very easy walk. The rooms are reasonably priced and extremely clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. It's just a nice, comfortable, cozy hotel. The breakfast area is not very large but that's not a big deal to me. I'm scheduled for a DIEP in April and that's where we'll be staying for a few days after I'm released. Let me know if you would like some more information!
