Perfect little boutique hotel. Mobile check in was so easy. The hotel is very clean, quiet, and beautiful. Great location in downtown Waunakee. Highly recommend staying here.
Room was awesome. Check in/checkout great. Downfall was the noise in the hallway and sitting area outside our room. Will stay again when visiting waunakee.
Extremely clean room, self check in was a breeze, place was completely silent and we only saw one other guest the entire time we were there. The coffee bar was a very sweet addition!
Great stay here as a couple. Communication was timely and helpful. The restaurant downstairs was a fantastic plus as well as the brewery across the street. Parking is easy and onsite. I would recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean. The hotel itself is super cute! Check-in was very easy with the directions. The walls are a little thin so if someone else is checking in you can hear suitcases rolling down the hallway but it didn’t bother us.
The history of the building, the decor, and the coffee shop are beautiful and charming. I love the architecture and the simple yet well designed theme of the entire building.
I liked it that it was like an AirB&B. No check in just use the combo and go to the room. Only there for one night but it was great. Mexican Food place across the street was awesome.
