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

The Kahler Grand Hotel in Rochester, MN, has a perfect location for anyone visiting the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The staff is accustomed to dealing with people who may need assistance in getting to the clinic and the restaurant is willing to suggest modifications to menu items in order to fit various dietary restrictions: all that is a definite plus....

We stayed here on a Saturday night for a convention. I had two rooms reserved and one was available at 4:00 and other not quite ready. After being told it would be 15 mintues or so for housekeeping to finish, we waited and waited. At about 5:00, the agent at the front desk said (only after we had to ask)... More

We got a room for $68 per night, which was great for our week long stay for Mayo Clinic treatment. Parking was $14 per night, so if you have a rental car return it the day you arrive because there is a shuttle that leaves every 15 minutes and will take you to WalMart, Target and many other places for...

I checked into an economy $65 room on Sunday, May 6 and after two room changes, I checked myself out. I expected a small room and dated, but the cleanliness of the room was terrible! Hair shavings in the medicine cabinet, dried "something" on the kleenex protector, nightstand, and desk, one inch of dust on the bed and the night... More

I stayed at the Kahler with some friends while attending a convention in Rochester. I had stayed there several years ago with my husband & had a nice stay. However, right before heading to Rochester for this trip, I happened to check TripAdvisor for reviews on this hotel. I was very disappointed when I read all of the unsatisfactory reviews.... More
