Due to the large number of visitors to the Mayo clinic, and their unique needs, there is a wide range of sleeping arrangements to fit almost any budget or need, from low-end to high-end, from short-term to long-term, from standard hotel rooms, to rooms with kitchenettes, to fully furnished apartments. While there are some hotels spread-out through-out the city, most of the hotels are grouped downtown by the clinic, along SW second street by Saint Mary's, and along South Broadway where most of the cheaper, non-chain ones are located. Rochester has about 5,400 hotel rooms in the city, which is more than most cities that are twice Rochester's size.
Below are only a sample of the available hotels. Most of the cheaper, non-chain hotels are not listed.
