Nielsen Tennis Stadium Tours

We have come to prefer staying at Graduate hotels in any town that has them, even if we have no business with the Universities they are associated with. The hotels are always clean, comfortable, and staffed by friendly students. Front desk staff went out of their way to recommend great places to eat as well as printing out something for me that I needed. Truly outstanding service. The decor is locally themed and unusual. Most places have a great coffee counter (Poindexters) to get your morning Joe and this one even had a rooftop bar. They are in the heart of a college campus, so not necessarily quiet, but the vibe is always lively and since it is in proximity to college kids, there are always a bunch of great and inexpensive dining options. This location in particular had an amazing array of things to do and places to get a great brat and some curds (Memorial Student Center is aces with views of the lake. Go to Der Rathskeller). The proximity to Lake Mendota and the Lakeshore Nature Preserve is fabulous. My only complaint is that the valet parking (pretty much the only available option) is a gouge, but the staff was lovely and you can get your car in and out as many times a day as you need. I would absolutely stay here again.

Had an Amazing stay at the saddlery! Went to visit my son at college! Right across from lake! You could smell the lake air getting out of the car while parking! Excellent parking right behind the building! Very cute lobby, room was excellent! Very warm and inviting! Will definitely stay here again! From the charm/cleanliness/ great location/ even the soap and shampoo smelled lovely! Thanks for the great stay! What a gem 😀

This property is SPECTACULAR! We booked a King Lakefront room and were upgraded to a Presidental suite which was unbelievable! The view was fantastic and the room perfect!!
