My husband and I toured every central apartment building in Rochester before moving here, and Lofts…read moreat Mayo Park was by far the best overall fit for us. We were looking for a modern, spacious, and convenient place for my husband's commute to Mayo during his fellowship, and this place has checked all of our boxes and more. Apartments The floor plans are open and thoughtfully designed, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in tons of natural light. I was initially worried about insulation during the winter, but so far we haven't felt any cold seeping in - the Andersen windows are high quality, and the combination of light-filtering and blackout shades is a nice touch. Everything feels clean and new: light wood floors (no carpet, which was not true of many of the other apartments we toured), solid cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Everything was spotless on move-in, which we really appreciated. Location The building sits right along the river, so every day feels like a serene getaway. You have access to many branches of the river trail, as it sits at a 3-point junction where the river splits - there are always many people walking, jogging, and biking to Mayo and around town. We love being so close to the Civic Center (just across the pedestrian bridge behind the building), especially for the Riverside concert series on Sunday evenings in the summer - this building is so close that you can even enjoy the concerts from the building's patio while grilling with friends. It's a little farther from the main downtown area (about a 5-minute longer walk to Gonda vs. other buildings that are downtown), but we actually like being slightly removed from the construction and traffic of the main downtown area. Parking downtown after 5 pm is free, so if you don't feel like walking, you can always make the short drive for dinner downtown. Management & Maintenance Working with Kevin and Anika to finalize our lease was such a pleasant experience, and maintenance requests since moving in have been handled quickly by Doug. As others have mentioned, the older negative reviews were for the previous management company (JMC). The new management company, Doro, has been excellent so far. Amenities There are only about 30 units in the building, so the community feels quiet and private. The heated underground parking garage is super convenient - since it's a smaller building, you don't have to drive up and down multiple levels, and the elevator goes straight to your floor (no separate garage elevator). The building is pet-friendly, with a pet wash station and dog treats in the lobby that my dog always happily accepts from Anika. There is a bike storage area, and a small gym - it's definitely smaller than the big apartment buildings, but most Mayo employees and spouses use the subsidized employee gym anyway (Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center), which has everything you could need. Living here has made our time in Rochester so much more enjoyable than we expected, especially coming from a big city. We always feel happy and relaxed coming home to Lofts at Mayo Park.

Highly recommend. Beautiful apartments that are well designed, good location along the river next…read moreto a walk, walking distance to downtown and Mayo Clinic Gonda/methodist.

People were so friendly and went out of their way to help I'm anyway possible. Amazing place to heal after a major surgery such as an organ transplant. I'm now back for a check up at Mayo and staying at GOL again. Wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Plus the price is very very reasonable especially when you need to stay long term.

I must have come 3-4 times to and from the hospital visiting him which was so awesome because I wanted to be there for him but I am also not a sitter and appreciated being so close to be able to come and go so easily. Breakfast in the am was comforting to begin the day before heading across the street and the Wed night happy hour was so appreciated by many that stay for the week. I can't say I ever heard a "NO" from the front desk staff as they addressed my concerns and the other conversations I overheard. Hilton-you should be very proud of this team.
