Andrew at the front desk was so helpful and welcoming. The valet driver : not sure if his name - went out of his way to pick up my girlfriend at the airport very late! I appreciate it so much. Kevin and Elliot in the bars were super friendly and professional. The young lady in the restaurant with the curly blonde hair was so nice to my girlfriend and I. We give you guys an 11/10 rating. We will be back!

A beautiful property, but just missing the mark I’m being a high-end hotel. The rooms look like something you get it any Marriott Courtyard, or any other mid-level hotel chain. The bed was fine. The service was fine, it was just a fine experience. But looking at the hotel from the outside and the reviews that you read from many others, it should’ve been a much higher experience from my past expectations across the world.

Everything was wonderful. So beautiful and friendly. The bartenders went way and above! Loved them. My only suggestions is you need a sign in your garage parking on how to exit! It says exit (which I guess means exit to the elevator) and we kept going up floors until we finally came back down and figured it out. We seen other people do the same thing! You need to put numerous signs indicating exit out of the garage is on floor 5 on all your levels!

It was a really beautiful property by the water. We enjoyed walking around Madison and the pier, as well as running through campus and the local water front parks. I would recommend this place. However, be warned, even though we didn't use the spa, and our booking through Expedia gave us a free $27 spa credit we were still charged a "Spa Fee/Tax" at checkout. One of those frustrating "gotcha" extra ~$30 experiences that leaves a bad taste in your mouth on your way out the door.
