The hotel stay was fine except for fluctuating water temperature that made showering a challenge. The Grand Kahler is an interesting place. Food and drinks at the attached restaurants were very good.

Great location and staff is trying to be helpful, but this hotel is in sore need of a renovation. Also, the car valet was backed up by more than 30 minutes both times I needed my car - even after calling ahead.

We were in Rochester for medical appointments and so the convenience to the Mayo clinic was of utmost importance. We were well received by hotel staff and found the room clean and ready and comfortable. Compared to some hotels there were sufficient plug ins to power and charge our devices. It was a good stay..
