    Hotel Goodwin - Rooftop patio

    Hotel Goodwin

    This hotel was near perfect and I could see why it's Michelin rated…read more I don't usually stay in boutique hotels but when looking at the nearby major chains, they didn't look appealing. The room was clean and had a rustic modern feel. When the carpet is beige, you know they have to take care of it consistently. Everything had a plush feel. The shower had a rainfall showerhead and a handheld. There's a scent that emanates throughout the hotel and into your room. It's light and adds to the ambiance. It's also in the sheets and linen too. I guess that adds to one of the negatives I list later in that the HVAC seems to be centrally controlled. There was some very minor debris in the sink that may have been left from wiping of a dirty rag, but that was mostly it. Gym was nice and parking was plentiful and free. What I didn't like: - Mini fridge in the room had a lot of snacks and other drinks that I assume were for sale. I usually pack my own food, so those items took up some space in the fridge - I get cold easily, so I try to adjust the thermostat, but it's centrally controlled, which I've never seen... I'm assuming all of the rooms are regulated in this way... - Breakfast bar- had bare minimal which I really don't mind. I really wouldn't expect a place like this to serve you breakfast unless it was full service. Would definitely come back

    Great hotel in downtown Beloit. It's been redone in a "speak easy" motif. Rooms are spacious and…read moreinclude a phonograph with a selection of vinyl LPs (that's 33 rpm records, for you youngsters). Room has a huge shower with a rainforest head. Also has a mini bar in the room. Only negative point is there was no refrigerator or microwave. Great restaurant located just off the lobby for a fine dining experience. Does not have full breakfast but does have grab and go muffins, fruit, coffee, etc. They also have a rooftop bar where one can sit inside or outside. Full bar with good bartenders. Menu is limited but still plenty to choose from. We had an order of mussels and a charcuterie tray. Both were very good. Our bartender was Colton and he took good care of us.

Not friendly/welcoming. Entered our room, which smelled of smoke, must, and overpowering air freshener to cover the smell of the other two. Additionally, the heat was off so it was a brisk 53° in the room in late December. We were too tired to walk down the stairs and ask for another room that met our needs so we sat with our coats on, eating and watching TV before some man entered our room, apologized and walked out. There wasn't even a knock. It was such an icky feeling or not being safe in our room so we left for a bit to let our room warm out and decide if we wanted to stay overnight or not. There is no elevator so if you're placed in a room on the second floor you get the luxury of walking the lobby stairs. It wasn't a big deal except for when we wanted to swim so we had to walk through the lobby in our bathing suits. It was more awkward after swimming because there's a sign to leave the towels at the pool and not take them to your room so we had to walk back to our room, still cold/wet and pass through the lobby as other guests were checking in. The hot tub is not working correctly. I wish that was stated online, as it was a selling point for us. As we came and went through the lobby multiple times, nobody asked us how our stay was. I know it's cheap but I thought it would be more welcoming in hopes for more business. Oh well... In the morning we went down for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by the spread provided. However, the yogurt was gritty like it was frozen and then thawed. The eggs were the kind that come in a bag and heated up (eggbeaters?). Very salty. The orange juice pitcher in the fridge still had the sticker on it from the store (Walmart brand, maybe?) - which worries me that it wasn't washed before being used. I loved the waffle maker that made 4 small waffles, as they were really nice portions! A woman was busy replenishing things and cleaning tables. Nobody was at the front desk when I tried to check out. Rang the bell and no answer so I just tossed my room keys behind the desk and that was that.

    I booked this hotel as a last resort hoping it would be decent but I was disappointed. It was July…read more4th weekend and everything around Lake Geneva was full. This hotel is about 20 minutes away from Lake Geneva and there was not much around. The room smelled moldy and humid like it hadn't been cleaned. The bathroom door did not lock, the breakfast was not great. The coffee "cups" were tiny 3 ounce plastic cups which you would use for orange juice. I booked for 2 days and left after one day even though I didn't get my money back. I should have read the Yelp reviews before booking this hotel.

    Maxwell Mansion is a wedding venue, motel and a cocktail bar. I was here mostly for the cocktail…read morebar, but I did get a tour of the mansion and grounds. The mansion was built in 1856, making it the first mansion in Lake Geneva. The estate has been completely redone but charming details were kept. Along with a mansion where you can book a room, Maxwell also includes beautiful gardens, lounges, outdoor fireplaces, a heated pool, croquet and bocce ball. There is also a separate area in the back with motel rooms. Like I said, I was there for a lil' drink. There's a bar inside the mansion (Apothecary Bar) with all kinds of medical and druggist paraphernalia, with the space being a tribute to Dr. Philip Maxwell. But it's the speakeasy, which is accessible outside in the front of the house, that you'll want to visit. Ask for the password inside the mansion, and they will let you into a dark, below-ground bar. It's all decorated in prohibitionist flyers, and even the bartenders are dressed up in period costumes. It's a really cool and unique bar in Lake Geneva.

    We went to both the apothecary bar and the speakeasy. We did not spend the night. I don't see that…read moreYelp has a separate page for the food/drink places. Focusing the review on the apothecary bar. You need to know the password to get in the speakeasy. A few days after we visited the speakeasy, we went in to try the apothecary bar to get some food and drink. A friendly helpful bartender, explained all their creative cocktails, shared the pub food that they offered, and answered questions. We ordered a flatbread pizza and a spinach artichoke dip as well as a couple of cocktails. They served us at a table where we sat on a couch in a room just across the hall and were quite comfortable. There are other rooms where you can go - not much seating in the actual apothecary bar.

    I really wanted to give this cute place a higher rating. I went for a weekend with my sister and…read morewas not thrilled. Positives: Decor: the place itself was quaint and very well decorated with pieces from the time. Nature - my favorite part was the beautiful walk though the woods on property just feet from the house. Stunning. Negatives: Bed was under 5 feet long! Since I'm 5'5", it was a terrible night of not sleeping. I couldn't lie on my back as I usually do, because my feet needed another 6-12" of space. Curled on my side could have worked if the mattress didn't sag so much. I stayed in a room that calls this bed a 3/4 bed online. No explanation of what that means. I googled it and found that 3/4 beds are normal length but between a twin and a full. That is not what this bed was. After our stay, I emailed the owner and asked her to update the listing with more information so I could give it a better review. She said she would but that was almost two months ago. The review still states that 3 people could stay in that room, which would only be true if one of the people were 4'6" or shorter. Breakfast was not what I'd have expected from a b&b. First, I'm used to being able to sit at a table near other couples but not be forced to be at the same table as we were here. Half a nice grapefruit was a good start. Then some slices of store bought krugel. Fine. But then no eggs. No savory portion. Just straight from the store bought coffee cake to some kind of French toast which seemed mostly just bread and sugar. She asked who eats sausage. I don't but then there was no protein replacement which was fine but not ideal. Also, breakfast isn't served until 9a which seemed quite late to me.

    Just stayed at this hotel for one night a few weekends ago. I usually like to stay in an Airbnb or…read moreVbro, but I was only staying over for one night, and they usually require a two-night stay. There are not many hotel options in the Burlington area, but I selected this Hampton because it seemed to have the best reviews. The desk clerk was friendly, and I was greeted warmly. Although I was told that I had been "upgraded," but the room was exactly what I had reserved. It was nothing special, but fine. Regarding cleanliness, it seemed to be okay on the surface, but I dropped something under the bed and found some remnants of cereal that had not been picked up by a vacuum. Not the end of the world, but it was there. Although I see that several people have commented that the breakfast was good, I found it to be loaded with a lot of unappetizing, artificially-flavored junk. The powdered eggs did not look appealing. I made a waffle, but threw it out after one bite. I ended up with a banana and oatmeal. I am probably in the minority here, but I think it would be better to have fewer breakfast options, but of higher quality. My biggest complaint was that with fees and taxes, the room for one night cost over $300! For a little town like Burlington, and for the quality of the hotel, I think that room rate is outrageous. If you have to stay in Burlington, and need a hotel, this is indeed your best option. However, if you don't mind traveling a few miles, I would stay at a less-expensive hotel closer to the expressway.

It's right next to the train tracks and based on previous reviews of it being a noisy location, I never heard a train during the night, and I'm a light sleeper. I did have an odd numbered room. A train did go by during the day when I was enjoying the hot tub, but there were no horns and it wasn't loud. It was a comfortable nights sleep with soft sheets and pillows. Bathroom amenities were good quality. The furniture in the room and the breakfast area show a lot of wear and tear. In my room, the carpeting was fringed and worn where it met the tile from the bathroom. My room did not have a mini fridge or microwave which I've found standard in other branded hotels at the same price point. The hot breakfast was decent and typical of other hotel brands I've stayed in. I gave it three stars, because I expected more from it being a Hilton brand. It was comparable to other hotel brands, nothing special.
