These units are furnished one-bedroom hotel suites with a kitchenette and a living area. Each unit has two double beds and a pullout sofa. There is a laundry facility and outdoor pool at the hotel complex. A free shuttle service to Mayo Clinic, grocery stores, pharmacies and shopping centers is also provided.
