Clean spacioue suite room! We were very pleased! The only thing I would change would be to add a life guard for the pool area. Kids were running rampant while parents just sat and talked. I have children but this was crazy! They were flying down the slide in groups! Another group took turns screaming for 30 min. Otherwise everything was fantastic!

I was staying for appointments at the Mayo Clinic. I arrived on Monday and found out that i needed to extend one night due to testing. I spoke to two different people which both said id need to check out and check back in. I was fine with this. On the day i was to move rooms the manager said they were full and i couldn't move as was the agreement. She was very rude and did not care i had appointments at the Mayo and i had been there since Monday. Very Rude. Should be more accommodating to customers who are already established there. Won't be staying there again
