My stay at The Edgewater was quite an experience! The hotel is beautifully located by Lake Mendota, offering stunning views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the dining options were delightful, particularly the restaurant's meals. However, the layout of the hotel can be a bit confusing, and there were extra fees that caught me off guard, detracting from the overall experience. It's still a solid choice for both leisure and luxury without breaking the bank.

The hotel is a beautiful property right by the lake, with lovely grounds, making it perfect for exploring Madison.

This hotel has a beautiful lakeside setting and offers spacious rooms with lovely views. Although the staff is friendly, the service aspect could certainly use improvement as we encountered various issues during our stay.

With some refinements in service and better communication, this hotel has great potential.
