Shuttle rides within the city limits
I used the free shuttle service that transported me within a designated radius to campus and downtown activities. My room included a microwave and a fridge, while the front desk offered warm chocolate chip cookies upon request at any hour. I also ate a filling breakfast buffet at the on-site restaurant each morning before heading out to walk to the University of Wisconsin.
I utilized the hotel shuttle to reach my work sites, and the drivers dropped me off at my destination on time. I also ate cheddar beer bisque at Palette Bar and Grill, which sits right on the first floor. My room contained a larger fridge, and I found the shower well designed during my stay.
I enjoyed the made-to-order omelets at the breakfast buffet each morning, followed by evening drinks at the bar during the daily happy hour. My ninth-floor corner suite overlooked Lake Monona and featured modern amenities, including wall-mounted shampoo and body wash. I used the key-card-operated elevators to reach my room after walking to nearby restaurants and the State Capitol building.
I ran on the trail which sits right off the hotel hotel after finishing my breakfast. The room had a microwave and a mini-fridge for my leftovers. I also grabbed complimentary cucumber water in the lobby while the front desk staff checked me in.
I used the free executive shuttle to reach downtown Madison throughout my stay, which ran from ten until twenty-two. My room stayed clean and held dispensers for body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. I also swam in the saline pool with jets along the walls.
I made espresso at the machine in the lobby every morning while I stayed in my apartment. I used the in-room washer and dryer to clean my clothes during my six nights. I drove into the underground garage when I returned from my errands around Madison.

Dumbbells in the fitness center
I lifted weights up to 75 pounds in the fitness center, a nice find during my four nights. I utilized the kitchen in my suitewith silverware, plates, and cups. While I stayed there, I kept coffee filled from the lobby, where it was available all day and night.
I swam in the saltwater pool that remained open until eleven in the evening. My room featured a full kitchen with new appliances, so I cooked my own meals while streaming accounts on the smart TV. I also appreciated the window that opened for fresh air, which I preferred over the stuffy rooms found elsewhere.
I watched the sunset from the rooftop deck after a long walk around the lake. My apartment featured a full kitchen where I prepared homemade meals throughout my stay. I used the treadmill in the fitness room on the ground floor and checked in using the text-based system. The south-facing windows provided sunlight that warmed the entire room while I stayed in the city.

Chilled tea after the downpour
Terrance handed me towels and a pot of Chamomile tea when I returned to the lobby soaking wet from a rainstorm. I walked through the French doors into the outdoor garden area during my stay. Every morning I enjoyed coffee and breakfast served by Juan. I rested in my room with a gas fireplace that added warmth to the historical Victorian mansion.

Ground floor room near the gym
I stayed in a ground-floor room that had a large walk-in shower. David at the front desk answered my questions with attention while I checked in.
I swam in the indoor pool which stayed open late during my stay. After I checked in, the front desk sent a text to my phone to verify the room met my needs. I caught the shuttle van to a show when the driver arrived on time.
I topped my drink at the hot cocoa bar in the lobby with peppermint candies and chocolate chips. My studio suite included a room microwave and a fridge, while the attached parking garage provided direct elevator access to my floor. After a busy day, I soaked in the hot tub near the pool.
