The Edgewater is a beautiful location nestled on Lake Mendota. I had a beautiful room overlooking the brand, new floating docks and boathouse restaurant. I had a bit of difficulty with housekeeping. Upon arrival there were no washcloths and the phone bedside did not work also on day two I called three times for housekeeping to clean the room as I had another friend the second night and wanted to change of sheets, it finally happened at 5 PM
