"We thought the breakfast buffet was complimentary! Sat down, got the buff to then learn it was $20 each and we had no idea!"

"We had a great stay at the hotel, clean and good service"

"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."
