Centerstone Plaza Hotel Soldiers Field sits in the Historic Southwest, beside Soldiers Field Park and about 0.6 miles from the Mayo campus. Our booking partner lists an indoor pool with a children’s area, a hot tub, breakfast, a fitness room and self-parking, with mid-range rates and good guest scores. The location is attractive because the park, the Veterans Memorial and the trail network are close, and downtown can be reached on foot or by a short ride.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in a residential area with park access, and walking to downtown is feasible in good weather. Soldiers Field hosts Rochesterfest in June, which brings events and crowds nearby. Self-parking helps drivers.
Rooms and amenities
The family-friendly pool, free breakfast per the hotel details and a hot tub make it a good fit for travelers with children. Confirm breakfast terms and room types on the property page. Light sleepers should ask about quiet rooms during festivals.
Who it suits
Families, budget-conscious patients and companions, and visitors who like green space. It is a practical alternative to downtown hotels for longer stays.
Seasons and events
Rochester is busy all year because the medical center draws visitors constantly, so popular hotels fill on weekdays as well as summer weekends. Large events at the Mayo Civic Center, summer Thursday gatherings downtown, Rochesterfest in June and the February Social-ICE event can raise rates and reduce availability. Book as early as you can, compare cancellation terms, and keep your plans flexible when a medical schedule might change.
Eating nearby
Downtown Rochester has a broad mix of restaurants, from coffee counters and salad lunch spots to brewery taprooms, Italian and Thai dining and a speakeasy-style bar. Many places offer takeout, which helps if you are recovering or dining with a patient. Ask your hotel for current recommendations, because restaurant hours change, and check whether the property has a microwave or refrigerator if you want to store leftovers.
Medical-visit tips
If you are in town for care, ask the hotel about discounted medical rates, shuttle service to the clinic buildings, and quiet or accessible rooms. Bring a list of medications, chargers and a light layer, since buildings can be cool. Consider a room with a refrigerator for medications or snacks, and keep confirmation numbers handy when you check in after a long day.
Things to do between appointments
Rochester rewards a free hour. Walk to Peace Plaza, listen for the Plummer Building carillon, browse the Rochester Art Center, or take a longer outing to Silver Lake, Quarry Hill or Plummer House. In bad weather the skyways and subway-level shops let you walk for a long time without a coat. Trolley tours are a good half-day option for companions.
