5/5 - Excellent

You all have missed a GREAT experience! University of Chicago closed it in October and there was not enough support from the community or State of WI to take it over. What a tragedy!!!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,110 reviews)
A great location, a fabulous building, and a delightful room. The one mystery was a background thumping noise that persisted throughout the stay. Fortunately, didn't disturb sleep. The reception staff sloughed off any knowledge or interest in the cause, but we couldn't imagine that the source was an unknown to hotel staff, and potentially fixable.
