I also met the driver Michael when he picked up my husband, he was very kind and courteous, that's why I was not surprised when my husband told me that one of the passengers was leaving the state and her friend was crying while waving goodbye to her. Michael told the passenger he has time to wait and asked the passenger if she wanted to say goodbye to her friend again. All the other passengers were watching from inside the van and saying the scene was so touching that makes them all want to cry too! You don't see this kind of kindness everyday and when that happens, it's a blessing!

Years ago, I had two phone interviews with two different folks for a position at IBM in Rochester,…read moreMN. I did well that I got an in-person interview. The company paid for my logging, car rental, and flights between Winnipeg (YWG) and Rochester (RST), through Minneapolis-Saint Paul (MSP). I flew in late at night. Both flights were on time. It's quite the size change between the three airports. MSP Terminal 1 is perhaps twice the size of YWG. RST is maybe a third of YWG. RST is a small airport. It has two runways. Delta and American Airlines fly out of it, with the occasional Sun Country flight here and there. Why is it an international airport? It's due to the Mayo Clinic roughly 10 km north of this airport. It's considered a hub for Mayo Clinic MedAir. Dignitaries would often fly into RST to get care at the Mayo Clinic when I was a resident of Rochester. RST is barely in Rochester. It's next door to Stewartville, which is a rather small city. These days, the latter city is famous for Jimmy's salad dressings and dips. I remember trying to drive northbound for the first time from the airport to the north end of Rochester. It was pitch-black. I had high beams on my rental car all the way until I finally had street lights on highway 63. I recently returned to this airport to check it out. It is nicer than when I was a resident of Rochester. There are clear signs indicating where to go to check in to a flight (ticketing) and where baggage claim was. I remember flying home to Winnipeg after the interview. There was a roof leak at the terminal. There was a huge bucket sitting on the carpeted floor. I am hoping that the roof has been fixed. It's one of the lasting impressions that I have of this airport. Parking remains cheap. It's a $60 maximum parking for a week. The daily maximum is $10. I last parked here over the Christmas holidays eons ago. I returned on New Year's Day to a ton of snow on my car and took some time to clear it off. Good times! For car rentals, you get Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National. There was clear labelling to fetch your car from the rental parking lot. I remember clearing security quickly. It's an advantage flying out of a small airport. It feels more efficient dealing with a smaller set of travellers. I don't recall ever getting any food or drinks when I flew out of RST. I don't think there's a major eatery. It doesn't matter. There has been more development in the area, from hotels to eateries. You'd probably do better getting food nearby before flying out. It was nice to drop by and see this airport again. I did a lot of reminiscing. It's definitely a much improved airport since I was last here as a traveller who resided in Rochester. (164)

Did not have much interaction with staff but those that I talked to were friendly. If I could get a good deal I would definitely stay again.

We stayed at the Kahler Grand and the Kahler Inn and suites…read more The Kahler Grand has improved over the years. It still has its issues.. two rooms for my recent transplant follow up and my son was a kidney donor and they did not have any heat in the room. Lightbulbs missing out of fixtures.. It seems they can get by limited service because they're close to Mayo We were at Mayo Clinic the end of January 2025 for a kidney transplant. We reserved rooms for the family and also our stay was 30 days. When we arrived, the hotel did not have any heat and customers were very upset. We went to Walmart and purchased heating blankets and portable heaters for our room and for our family' Members rooms. It seems the ownership group for the Kahler hotels either doesn't know about these issues or their standards are lower than most. I would never recommend staying at the Kahler Inn and as far as the kahler Grand, I would recommend would make sure that everything is functioning in the room before you pay.
