First of all, it was truly a pleasure to meet Remy and his staff. Everyone was friendly, knowledgable and set the tone for a fun night out on the water. The staff was super accommodating and helpful, which helped us kick back and relax. The boat ride was a blast. There's something magical about cool fall air in Wisconsin, and experiencing it on a lake is pure bliss. It's even more special while sipping on cold Wisco brews as someone else is responsible for driving ;) Make sure to stock up on plenty of drinks as this tour is BYOB. Remy hooked us up with a cooler and ice, which was greatly appreciated! There's also a stereo hookup, so be prepared to play DJ from your smartphone. This tour is something that should NOT be missed when visiting Madison!

We had the best staff take us out. We also stopped at the cutest location on the water. We spent what seams like forever building the memories I would now carry with me forever. I can't think Remy and Cody enough for taking care of us and showing us an absolutely amazing time in Madison. I can't think of a better way to end the last chapter of my favorite job.

The fresh roasted coffee on the front lawn and looking out @ the lake will never be forgotten. Fire Pits at night looking into the sky with the million dollar lake views.

Inn stay: 5. Event experience: 3…read more We received a call from Debbie the day of check-in letting us know our room was ready early, if we wished to check in ahead of time. Upon arrival, it was so helpful to have our own assigned parking spot. As soon as we entered the lobby, Debbie was a delight and greeted me by name; she escorted us to our suite and showed us the amenities and answered any questions we had. The room was clean and spacious, and the grounds along the Sugar River were lovely. We were immensely pleased with our stay. The Seafood Soirée event felt hodge-podge. VIPs didn't get any sort of band to tip off the bartenders that our drinks were free for the first hour; two separate times I heard staff in other areas talking about workers getting placed behind the bar without being trained (one resulted in a coordinator having to comp a bottle of wine as the bar staff was misinformed). So the lines were long, the chairs should have been pulled away from the bar as they got in the way and people tried to sit in them. Trying to meet Andrew Zimmern as a person with manners was difficult as staff didn't even attempt to keep order and people kept budging in without waiting. The food served during the VIP hour was underwhelming. Then we get to 4 pm and walk out to the stations to find the food wasn't ready. Cue milling about. Then the two chef celebrities didn't even speak on time. We eventually left early and went back to our room. So regarding coordinating and hosting an event, they really missed the mark. We would definitely stay at the Inn again, and in fact are already talking about returning. But would we spend a few hundred dollars to attend an event there again? No.

I'll withhold or temper complaints because of the excellent service reconciliation. I'll limit…read morethose complaints to the following. 1. Not all old fasioneds in Wisconsin are great. 2. Not all cheese in Wisconsin are worth getting excited over. Ok. That seems fair in light of their efforts. Don't hang a sign saying walkins welcomed on the sidewalk when you treat those that walk in like they're not. Our server was attentive-not quite to a fault-and responded quickly. Actually he was really nice and likely oversaw the reconciliation. The high top bar setting is good-not too loud but open and I love a kitchen view. As for the food I'll mostly ignore their cheese tower-though the pickles and mustard was stand out great. But the entrees. The haddock fish fry was perfect. Though the slaw is flavorless. Truly great fish fry. Top 5 in Dane county. Their short rib was amazing. Tender. Polenta cubes delicious. Veggies great. They both suffered from the same problem. Staging. For the fish fry the fries were at best ambient room temp. For the short rib the polenta was the same. They both lose their temp fast. So. Someone plated them first and then the meat was super temp hot at serving. Time it better-freshman error. But I stand by it. Mostly great tasting food. Really good service. If halves were allowed it be 3.5

This was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Not only is this hotel poorly…read moremaintained and clearly lacking proper management, but the way they handled my reservation issue was completely unacceptable. When I arrived, they somehow "lost" my original reservation and created a new one instead -- resulting in me being charged twice. I provided proof of both charges and attempted multiple times to resolve the issue professionally, but the staff and management were dismissive from the start. The manager was incredibly rude, refused to actually listen to the situation, repeatedly implied I was lying, and showed zero interest in helping fix a mistake their hotel created. Rather than taking accountability or even attempting to investigate the duplicate charge properly, I was met with hostility and disrespect throughout the entire conversation. To make matters worse, Expedia even reached out to the hotel on my behalf to help resolve the duplicate charge, and they still refused to issue a refund. Despite clear documentation and third-party involvement, the hotel continued denying responsibility and offered absolutely no solution. I have never experienced such poor treatment from a hotel, especially over an issue that was clearly caused by their own reservation system and staff errors. Between the lack of upkeep, disorganized operations, terrible communication, and unbelievably unprofessional management, I would strongly advise others to stay elsewhere. There are far too many hotels that actually value their guests, treat people with respect, and take responsibility when mistakes happen.

The surge pricing of course is absolutely theough the roof at this time, and this is where I feel this place dropped the ball. Everywhere we ate in this trip would ask if we were there for graduation, and each place had a little something for the graduate or family. Usually a desert or maybe a drink, and each time a warm congratulations. Amazing how so little can mean so much. The hotel which was the most expensive part of this trip by a very long shot,.had, well, nothing. No congrats, no free breakfast, no complimentary cocktails to help get into the celebration....nothing. usually stay here for less than $300.a night and since this time it was well over 3x that, I guess I expected more. The hotel is fine if not a little dared here and there. The location is the best part. It is clean and warm water pressure is great.

The beds were extremely comfortable, the temperature was perfect, and the rooms were dark and quiet so we could all sleep in.

The hosts are so welcoming and you can tell they are truly in their element. Covington Manor is only about 30 min from Madison, so we were also able to enjoy the city before heading home. I highly recommend Covington Manor for anyone who needs to unwind and relax. It would also be great for someone who wants to explore Madison but sleep in the quiet comfort of a quaint town.
