We have stayed at the Edgewater many times while our kids attended UW. My daughter even used some of the services and roooms for her recent wedding. Hotel is very nice and the views of the lake are wonderful. I didn't like the inability to move my check out time by one hour to accomodate the use of the Spa my wife was using at the Edgewater. Seems like a simple ask for the amount of money and time we have spent at the Edgewater. It will make me think about another stay.

We loved the Edgewater. Great views and great food. Service was great. It’s really a great combination of a nicely restored historic hotel and a new modern resort hotel. Walking distance to the capital and campus. There is a fraternity next the original building. We were hoping to get a room next to the fraternity and invited to a toga party, but unfortunately we didn’t. It wasn’t an issue. Great place with outstanding sunsets. Our family will be staying here again!
