I was a guest at the Kahler Grand in May. I had to go to Mayo for medical treatment and found, quite unexpectedly, one of the nicest hotels ever. I was welcomed by Diane at the front desk who considered my specific needs before choosing a room for me. The room she chose was light, airy, with windows which opened... More

We stayed at the Kahler Grand on the advice of our doctor. It is literally right across the street from the Mayo Clinic. We had many appointments scheduled during the day and we could walk back to the hotel in between. There are lots of shops in the vicinity to visit too. The hotel is very clean. Our room was... More

Our room was so outdated! It seemed like an old hospital room. I couldn't stay even one night, we left. After leaving and finding way better accommodation for half the price I started researching. The place used to be a hospital! I think there are restless soles there! I will never step foot on the property again!

When I arrived in Rochester the original place I was going to stay with my 4 year old daughter (a patient at Mayo) had closed their pool. That is a deal breaker as it's a great reward for a young patient! I decided to try the Kahler due to the convenience of being across the street from the Mayo building.... More

Verry friendly personal, clean and quiet rooms. Directly in the center of downtown Rochester. Nice pool and wirlpool on the top flor included! Perfect connection to Mayo-Clinic directly vis-a-vis! Subway great for bad weather!

The Kahler Grand has always been the benchmark for old world luxury. With the recent remodeling of the guest rooms the Kahler now has the looks to go with the personality. The frosting on the cake? The recent reopening of the Lord Essex Restaurant. The cluster of small rooms makes this a private dining experience. An intimacy not found in... More

High price for convenience, but sky high for quality. Granted, it was just 20 steps to the Gonda Building which was great, but I guess I'd rather walk a bit further. I got claustrophobic just stepping inside the room. When we go back in July, it will be to a different place with bigger rooms and smaller prices only a... More
