However, the noise from the street was a bit disruptive at times, which impacted my overall experience. still, the location's convenience to the Mayo Clinic is fantastic.

My stay at The Berkman was pretty solid overall. The cleanliness was on point, making me feel right at home, and the location couldn't be better-right across from the Mayo Clinic! However, the mattress in my room could've been more comfortable; it was okay but not what I'd expect from such a nice place.
