My wife had to come for testing at The Mayo Clinic. I read many great things about The Fairfield Inn. Everything we read was true.
First, everyone at this hotel is extremely friendly and the staff is amazing. We checked in after 11:30 PM on Wednesday, June 6th, and the gentleman working the desk, sorry I didn’t catch his name, provided us with a very warm welcome. He had the energy as if we checked in during the afternoon. We mostly dealt with Nick at the front desk. He was also extremely helpful and friendly. Every time we entered or exited the hotel, someone always acknowledged us and asked us if we needed anything. I can say, the front desk staff are some of the best I have exerted experienced.
Second, and very important if stay for a Mayo Clinic visit, is this hotel is very clean, probably the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed. I am a bit of a cleanliness freak and always bring antibacterial wipes to clean the room before I unpack. This is the first time in my history of traveling that I really did not have to do this. Bathroom was spotless, not a speck of mold, dust, hairs, etc. Same goes for the main living area. Great job housekeeping staff.
There is shuttle service to the Mayo Clinic and St. Mary’s hospital. This did come in handy, but the hospitals are a short drive...My wife had to come for testing at The Mayo Clinic. I read many great things about The Fairfield Inn. Everything we read was true.

There is shuttle service to the Mayo Clinic and St. Mary’s hospital. This did come in handy, but the hospitals are a short drive or a $7 Uber/cab drive away.
There are a few chain restaurants in the area, but we mostly took an Uber back to Downtown Rochester. There are plenty of good, not great, restaurants there. Porch & Cellar was our favorite. Check them out if you are in the mood for fried chicken and biscuits...
The breakfast was okay. It’s fast and free and there is probably something for everyone. They have eggs, breakfast meats, waffles, fresh fruit, oatmeal, cereals, yogurts, and baked goods. It would be nice if they had healthier yogurt, such as plain Greek yogurt, and other healthier options, but it’s good for a quick meal.
One final note. I was between The Fairfield Inn and The Towers at Kahler Grand Hotel. The Towers is located right next to The Mayo Clinic and they claim to be the area’s only 5 star hotel. We decided to go to the Kahler for breakfast one morning. We encountered the rudest front desk person and the restaurant is definitely not 5 stars. The service and the food was horrible. In my little experience with the Kahler, I’m so happy we decided to stay at The Fairfield Inn.
If coming to Rochester, book with confidence. You will not be disappointed. More
