Kahler Inn & Suites

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 22 Feb 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

My family and I stayed at the Kahler Suites during my visit to the Mayo Clinic. The hotel is connected to the Mayo so getting where I needed to go was very easy. The rooms were larger than the Kahler Grand but as with the Grand elevators, hallways and restrooms maybe a bit cramped for those who have strollers, wheelchairs and walkers. I liked that the hotel had a workout, swimming and breakfast nook. In the lobby they had a coffee shop and Jimmy Johns. They also had a cafe but I didn't eat there. The bedding and towels were standard. The room was clean with mild to moderate wear with the furniture and decor. The housekeepers were very helpful and kind, when we had an issue. They helped us strait away and stopped back in to make sure all issues were solved. The hotel is a great value and you can't beat the location.

Positives: Very close to The Mayo Clinic.

Negatives: Parking.

The room was clean and the hotel staff was friendly. There are not many eating places to choose from in the area. Jimmy Johns is downstairs but for a good quality meal at a good price you won't find it in the area. We liked the hotel the only thing we didn't like was there was sick people everywhere. We have a larger truck and parking was a bit of a hassle it was free which we were thankful for however it was really hard to get into the ramp there was some construction and a lot of tight turns so for a larger truck it was a little difficult. All in all I would recommend the hotel don't know if I would stay there again just because of all the sick people.

Positives: It was clean and there was a Caribou Coffee right downstairs.

Negatives: We have a larger truck and parking was a hassle it was free but it was very tight spaced.

The front desk people were very friendly but the motel is very out dated. There were only two small parking lots and they were always full. You have to park in a parking ramp across the street. The breakfast the proved was in a small room and was very dirty. We would not return to this motel.

Positives: Not a whole lot.

Negatives: Parking, old rooms, breakfast room was filthy, very small pool.

Good value for the price. 10 minute walk from nearly any appointment in the Mayo Clinic complex (less if you're late) using the underground pedestrian walkways. It is also wheelchair-friendly.

Positives: Very convenient to Mayo Clinic.

Negatives: Limited parking in the attached structure.

This hotel was hard to find. It was not clean! The corners had dirt and the floors in the bath were full of dirt and grass, the sink and faucets had soap scum and build up. You could tell that they had only cleaned the surface- makes you wonder how clean the bedding is etc.

Positives: Close proximity to clinic.

Negatives: Room was dirty needs a thorough cleaning, including corners.

I was disappointed for this to be a Mahler the bathroom was especially unpleasant. Had to wait for a clerk to come to the desk. The breakfast left a little to be desired.

Positives: Close to Mayo clinic.

Negatives: Mold in the tub, broken tub drain, old and kind of dark.

Great value for the money. Free parking and free internet, plus free cont. Breakfast. Nice coffee and sandwich next door.

Positives: Convenient to mayo clinic.

Negatives: Parking ramp is 2 blocks away, although parking is free.

Overpriced! High price for dated, average to below-average rooms. If it weren't for the convenience to the mayo, they would probably go out of business. Other close-by facilities more realistically priced.

Positives: Like the direct link to the tunnel system.

Negatives: Way overpriced for what you get.

This Hotel couldn't have been located any better for our Mayo Clinic visit. Clean and friendly staff.

Negatives: Smallish bathroom.

The staff is friendly and helpful and the parking is great because it's covered. This is a plus for someone who worries about where to park an expensive motorcycle. The location is convenient, being it's in the middle of downtown and close to the Mayo clinic.

Positives: Covered parking.

Negatives: Low ceilings, not for you if claustrophobic!

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 May 2006 rated 4 out of 10.

The hotel rooms are really rough. 1970's looking bathrooms with poor carpet and no pad. When walking in room you can feel the uneven foundation. If you offer 1 star then I would think this might be it.

Positives: Free breakfast, good location.

Negatives: Terrible concrete floors with non padding on thin carpet.
