Beautiful hotel! Everything was perfect! We ended up with a two room suite which was very nice! Really clean room and very well maintained property. Employees were helpful and courteous. The breakfast was good with scrambled eggs and sausage, variety of fruit, bagels, juice and coffee. We biked the Lake Loop around Lake Monona and could ride our bikes right from the hotel. This room was the nicest one we have ever stayed in. A bit expensive but well worth it:)
