Excellent visit to The Edgewater

We had a wonderful stay at The Edgewater. The facility is beautiful with great views of the lake. Once you understand how the hotel is laid out, it is much easier to navigate (ground floor is the 7th floor, check-in is the 6th).
A view of Lake Mendota from our 12th floor double-queen terrace room.

Madison

This was a very nice hotel located in a perfect neighborhood in Madison. The reception desk was efficient and quick. The valet parking was very accommodating and was able to accommodate our truck with a trailer. It was a great location to either eat in the restaurant in the hotel or walk to the downtown area, which was very nearby. The hotel room was first class large very well-maintained and very modern. I will definitely stay here again.
