This is a nice hotel. It is clean, well kept and better than the listed 3 star hotels in South Rochester! (believe me, we've stayed at the 3 stars- those are almost a down grade compared to this hotel). The bed was soft and comfortable, the bathrooms were very nice and very clean. The pool area was quite the treat, it was quiet and a nice size.
There was a great breakfast there all set up and everything was fresh, clean and very well stocked. Unfortunately, I was only able to grab a piece of fruit and some juice, as my daughter couldn't eat that morning because of surgery.
My only complaint was the road to get back into the hotel made it a little "not so easily accessable"...not a HUGE deal, but it was kind of a pain at night when it was dark and we were tring to get back there. It's easily SEEN from the main roads, just expect to take a frontage road for a little ways.

The hotel accomodated my requested for a disability room without a problem, and surprisingly, the room was actually for disababled persons -- all the light switches, counters, etc... at the right height -- which has not been my experience in "disabled" rooms else where.

Due to a problem with my in-room refridgerator, my week-long supply of groceries all spolied overnight on my first night. The maintainence main, General Manager (GM), and other hotel staff were all present when I let them know of the situation. My friend who drove me to Rochester and to the grocery was leaving and I had 1) no more money to replace my food; 2) no means to get back to the store.

The GM said she would go back and replace all my food if I would supply my list. The very smart maintainence man said no list required, as they would just replace what they threw away, and they would take care of everything (if I didn't mind them entering my room while I was at treatment) while I was gone.

My expectations were BLOWN AWAY when I returned to find a new 'fridge, fully stocked with my previous slection of food, PLUS several drink treats that were NOT there before: sparkling cranberry juice and two different kinds of green tea!!! That is EXCELLENT customer service.

I did not have to fight, complain, provide a receipt -- nothing. The staff went out over and above expectations to ensure my comfort, my satisfaction, my everything.

Even the housekeeping staff is EXCELLENT and has gone out of their way to make me comfortable.

I recommend this hotel wholeheartedly. It's a great hotel, and I could care less if the decor is slightly dated. The SERVICE is wonderful. The beds are firm, but not uncomfortable.

If I come back for more treatments, I WILL stay here. No question. Thank you Country Inn & Suites South.

Friendly staff, clean hotel, great breakfast. I would recommend this CIS to anyone heading to Rochester MN.

We stayed at the Country Inn and Suites, Rochester South while in town for medical appointments. This hotel is fine, and reasonably priced, but it is getting a bit "tired". Lobby and breakfast room are good and food was good, but hotel rooms/beds/furnishings are just getting to the point of needing replacement. I think everything was clean enough, but once furnishings, bedding, etc., get to this point, it just feels a bit dingy.
