Hilton Garden Inn Rochester Downtown, MN

Nice place good price for what you get only downside is parking sucks

Comfortable room for 3 people, loved the included snacks/drinks (very helpful for our busy days), the staff was excellent, all very friendly and solutions-oriented and the breakfast cook was really great

Jax was the person checking us in. He is absolutely polite, hospitable and friendly. Charming personality!! We liked The Tap behind the building to eat. Short walking distance, good food and friendly atmosphere. Breakfast at the Hilton was very good!

Orbitz issued 2 reservations for each day and they couldn’t located in their system. The Hilton assigned us a handicap room next to the access door to the skyway and facing the street…….that was the only room available. I asked for asking size bed and also got a 2 double beds.

Car service to Mayo Clinic appointments.

The Hilton Garden Inn (like other downtown hotels) is linked to the Mayo Clinic by all-weather skyways and tunnels ("subway"). It is literally across the street from great dining and great bars. It is obviously well-maintained and comfortable, even in social distancing mode.

Great location. Perfect walking distance to mayo and several restaurants

Room, service, location, amenities all very good. Very clean. You can pay a bit less but I felt it was worth the extra dollars.

Very clean and friendly staff. No restaurant for evening meals on site.

Pros: Always liked HGI properties as they have been consistent in quality and what to expect. Good value, nice amenities, generally clean. Cons: If you room was facing a street, expect truck traffic and general rush hour traffic to wake you from 6 am on! HGI have changed their decor to become "minimalist" in furnishings and lighting within the room, BIG MISTAKE! Very uncomfortable and can't see anything! Also, this particular property on the dates we stayed the front desk was horrible in communication skills. Couldn't get clear understanding of parking situation. We had "prepaid" on orbitz for our stay but when we got into the room found out my CC was charged $40 for incidentals which was never even brought up at the time of check in. I had to go down to desk and have them explain why there was a charge and why no one even mentioned it!

Always pleasant and so convenient to mayo.... the only place I stay when I need to visit mayo

I loved that I could use skywalk to Mayo Clinic directly from the hotel. And the hotel is just across the alley from Newt’s which has the best burgers in town!

great access to Mayo and very pleasant staff Very helpful front desk. Nice HoteL!

Really incredible place that always feels like home

This hotel is in downtown Rochester, attached to the mall, walking distance to Mayo. You can park your car and forget it. Great restaurants, nice shopping and very convenient to Mayo Clinic. You never need to go outside if weather is inclement due to great walkway system. The bummer, as of January 1, 2018, their rates are going up about 80%.

Very well kept hotel, great location, staff and breakfast.

Pros: -nice location -the food from Hefe Rojo is great -clean -friendly and accommodating staff Cons: -the towels and linen are washed is some horrible chemicals... I woke up covered head to toe in a rash. They do not offer the option of hypoallergenic linen and towels. -the light fixtures in the room are odd with on/off switches in inconvenient places -the picture of a lady slipper flower in our room was mounted upside down... rather odd!
