Poor customer service. I had come to the hotel to accommodate some major GI testing I had to do at Mayo Clinic. The man working the front desk didn’t believe that my fridge broke, eventually replaced it, and refused to comp any of the bill even though well over $30 of my special diet’s food went bad in the fridge. I would’ve been better leaving it in the cooler I brought! Food is so important after two days of fasting, and because of this hotel’s receptionist’s poor records of exactly when I asked for a second look at my fridge, I was forced to order delivery I couldn’t afford (would have driven but had sedation that day; not allowed). They said they had no record of me asking them on Sunday, only Monday (after the food went bad) so therefore it was my own fault the fridge didn’t work, apparently. A grueling day of testing and procedures and this hotel provided the bare minimum in service and a low quality ‘welcome home’ to a broken fridge with no food left to eat in it. Still very comfortable; just very unhappy with the some of the front desk staff.

Awesome and amazing
It was amazing. The first hotel I have been in a long time that has great housekeeping every day. The bed was comfortable and they had body pillows that you could actually sleep with. Most of the time I have to bring my own pillow. These were great pillows. The pool and hot tub both were in working condition and the chlorine didn't burn my eyes. The hotel staff was more than welcoming but they were willing to help out as needed. They even took care of the cart when I brought it up to my room the first night. Very knowledgeable staff regarding restaurants and stuff around the hotel area. Best hotel I have stayed in since prior to COVID.

Going to Rochester for Christmas shopping, I found this location to be a good choice- very close to Apache Mall and it helped that I figured out the location on a map before I left. The breakfast was always good, and I enjoyed having a whirlpool tub in my room. The one thing that was frustrating was trying to figure out the heating unit in my room. It always seemed like I had cool air blowing, which wasn't good because I woke up one morning feeling that I was catching a cold. Otherwise, it was a very enjoyable time at this location.
