Hotel worker the night of new years eve was the worst, most disrespectful human, told us to quiet down or we will be removed. It's new years in America, its what we do. Older gentleman, Grey hair with an accent...

We ordered room service and they forgot part of our order. I call back and they inform me that it wasn’t available anymore. I tried to get a refund for missing item, but they would not grant it.

My wife and I have stayed at this hotel several times due to its location and great indoor pool. Our rooms have always been clean and in working order. The attached restaurant has a great breakfast. The front desk has always been attentive and professional. Barb (front desk) was great during our recent stay while offering an early check-in and a friendly attitude. Management obviously has a vested interest in the hotel. Christmas decorations were wonderful. We will be back!

I can't say enough about the young man at the front desk of this hotel. Been coming up here once a month for the past 5 months and the service from the front desk is always impeccable, but this young man Nicholas always goes out of his way for everyone. This time he helped us with a car situation, looking up ways to help. And the management as well checked on us and was willing to do whatever he could. While I'm at it, this is the best breakfast I've ever seen in a hotel that comes included with the room. If there was a six stars I would hit it. I'll never stay anywhere else while I'm in Middleton Wisconsin.
