If you are staying in Rochester for the Mayo Clinic, this hotel is by far the best value. Location is two blocks from the Methodist hospital, and only one block from an extrance to the subway system. Definetely not the fanciest and it could use a bit more attention to detail when it comes to cleaning. But with a fridge/microwave in the room, a vistors lobby with big screen tv, movies, puzzles and books available to read, free internet, lunch room with multiple "plain jane" options for breakfast and a pool - of all the places near the hospital/clinic, it definetely has the best value award.

We needed a place to stay near the Mayo Clinic and found Brentwood met our needs. I could walk to the hospital, which is about a block away, return to rest or freshen up, and quickly return to the hospital, if necessary. The hotel is no-frills, yet has what we needed: a spacious area in the bathroom for my husband to begin recovery the day after his surgery, separate beds so we could both get some rest, and a continental breakfast area so we didn't have to run out for food in the morning. We stayed on a weekend night and found the hotel to be almost empty. Most patients are there during the week, so we spent a very quiet night recovering from a major event in our lives. The hotel is patient-friendly and reasonable.
