    Not a single thing

    I stay at this hotel a few times a year when we come and visit our kids at UW. Best hotel in Madison, and one of my favorites in the US. Rooms and large and elegant on the beautiful lake. Doesn’t get much better than that! Thank you Edwater and staff for another amazing experience.

    The layout of the buildings is incredibly confusing. Our room was very clean but the bed was made up with only white sheets and it sits on top of a basic platform. Lacked any added touch from pillows or a foot spread. Looked like a no frills, budget hotel bed. Also the toilet had an issue on arrival but that was attended to and rectified quickly. On the first morning, we realized our coffee make didn’t work. They sent a pot of coffee and said it would be replaced later in the day which was great. Unfortunately the next morning we realized they hadn’t replaced the coffee maker. I texted and after 40 minutes…no coffee maker. I asked again and then someone brought it.

    It’s a beautiful property in a great setting. Well maintained and clean. Nice bathroom and layout of our room.

    I miss the earlier breakfast dining option. Last time I had a salmon eggs benedict that I still talk about. I get up earlier than my family so I usually eat alone - room service is great, but just not an option at that time.

    The resort facilities onsite make it easy to relax and the bathrooms are nice - not cramped like many places.

    Likely due to large bookings, it seemed much more expensive than the last time we were there. Also, while room service has an amazing breakfast, there aren’t dining options to sit before 11, like there used to be.

    It’s situated in a beautiful location, and the facilities are amazing if the layout is a little tough to navigate. But worth it, because the rooms are impeccable.

    While you are on the water there is no beach access or anything to do on the water rent boats, kayaks etc. It's literally just a pretty view.
