Hotels near Henry Vilas Zoo

"Great location, clean, friendly staff"

"Upon checking out, I was told that I was being billed $20/night for parking. This fee was waved as I hadn’t been told about the fee upon checking in. Some construction in the area so needed to walk around those areas. Close to the capital & farmers market. Easy walking to UW campus, lake and restaurants."

"Great"

"Loved the beds!"

"This property is SPECTACULAR! We booked a King Lakefront room and were upgraded to a Presidental suite which was unbelievable! The view was fantastic and the room perfect!!"

"We have come to prefer staying at Graduate hotels in any town that has them, even if we have no business with the Universities they are associated with. The hotels are always clean, comfortable, and staffed by friendly students. Front desk staff went out of their way to recommend great places to eat as well as printing out something for me that I needed. Truly outstanding service. The decor is locally themed and unusual. Most places have a great coffee counter (Poindexters) to get your morning Joe and this one even had a rooftop bar. They are in the heart of a college campus, so not necessarily quiet, but the vibe is always lively and since it is in proximity to college kids, there are always a bunch of great and inexpensive dining options. This location in particular had an amazing array of things to do and places to get a great brat and some curds (Memorial Student Center is aces with views of the lake. Go to Der Rathskeller). The proximity to Lake Mendota and the Lakeshore Nature Preserve is fabulous. My only complaint is that the valet parking (pretty much the only available option) is a gouge, but the staff was lovely and you can get your car in and out as many times a day as you need. I would absolutely stay here again."

"The location is good. Within 20 minutes walking you can find coffee, varying restaurants and the Capital square. Beautiful residential neighborhood. The interior and outdoor lounge area is quaint and welcoming. Road parking is available but very limited at varying times. I’d suggest purchasing a parking space. Loved my room. The apartment structure of the room was efficient and comfortable. Kitchenette well stocked, washer and dryer and a separate bedroom area. Truly enjoyed staying here!"
