De Forest Hotel with Pool

"Everything was wonderful. We did have some issue with a sports event and room service being ordered which resulted in a very early wake up to food we did not order, nor want…but kids will be kids! Also, I was not a huge fan of the poolside room. The sliding glass doors are the entire wall and it was hard to keep the curtains completely closed…just felt a little exposed…but not the hotel’s fault, just personal preference."

"Was extremely satisfied with everything, even the staff was very helpful and polite will be staying there again"

"Overall it was a good place. We cant comment on the pool area as we didnt use it. Breakfast.was good.."

"The hot tub was luke warm at best. The breakfast was okay but there were not a lot of healthy options. Overall the clientele of this hotel were very sketchy. Smelling marajuna in the parking lot was a clear indication that this is a party hotel. The pool and hot tub were very busy with young families and did not feel like a comfortable place to relax. The staff was friendly but I would not chose to stay in this hotel in the future. "

"Great location. Onsite parking was a plus"

"Nice bartender "

"Staff is friendly, courteous and amenities are is advertised. We have stayed there three times over the last year and have never been disappointed."

"Breakfast is better than average. Location is very convenient to UW campus (especially Lakeshore area). Facilities could use more upkeep."

"We will never be returning to the Edgewater. We had some bad customer service. The car shuttle service was excellent, and the valet staff was friendly and nice. However, the front desk and the general manager failed us. When I called requesting housekeeping, the staff member had a language barrier and didn’t follow through on getting someone to come clean our room. We went two days without housekeeping despite multiple requests. I also asked twice to have the sheets and linens changed, and no one ever showed up. I ended up waking up with a rash on my face from the dirty bedding,. When we returned to our room, towels were everywhere and the garbage was overflowing. The manager showed up seeming like he had a stick up his a**, he was distasteful, dismissive, defensive and accusatory, he seemed offended that we’d ask for fair compensation for a bad experience on our wedding night. The front desk’s failure to follow through and the manager’s hostile attitude really ruined what should have been a memorable experience. 2/10 definitely not recommended."
