Our stay was amazing! This was a special get-away for us, our Christmas present to each other. We enjoyed the warm welcome, treat waiting for us in our room, floor to ceiling windows, and exploring Madison from the great location. The Christmas decorations in the hotel were fabulous and made for great picture taking opportunities!

The staff were great- the location was great. The lobby is beautiful- however we were sent to the 2nd floor which felt like a dark basement. The water pressure was horrible- having to wash

The room was amazing and the view was even more breathtaking than we could even imagine. We really didn’t need to have much help with anything because we were self sufficient already so we didn’t bother asking anyone. The view was breathtaking (I think I already said that…).
