Our room overlooked Mendota Lake- it was beautiful! Fun to people watch from our window. Wë ordered room service and it was very good- they had thoughtful touches on their food trays, flowers in a small vase, small jellies, small salt & pepper. Everything was lovely!

The Edgewater is a beautiful location nestled on Lake Mendota. I had a beautiful room overlooking the brand, new floating docks and boathouse restaurant. I had a bit of difficulty with housekeeping. Upon arrival there were no washcloths and the phone bedside did not work also on day two I called three times for housekeeping to clean the room as I had another friend the second night and wanted to change of sheets, it finally happened at 5 PM

We have stayed at the Edgewater many times while our kids attended UW. My daughter even used some of the services and roooms for her recent wedding. Hotel is very nice and the views of the lake are wonderful. I didn't like the inability to move my check out time by one hour to accomodate the use of the Spa my wife was using at the Edgewater. Seems like a simple ask for the amount of money and time we have spent at the Edgewater. It will make me think about another stay.
