We had a question at check-in and received a prompt response. The room was exceptionally clean. The location was perfect. We walked across the street for dinner and downstairs for breakfast. Our only regret was not having more time to explore the area. A great place to stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Mill at Waunakee. It is a self check in hotel, so we did not deal with any staff. Ample onsite parking available. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed was great! There is a coffee shop downstairs. We had two excellent breakfast experiences there. The location is terrific, walking distance to the downtown restaurants and shops. We had a very nice time!

Small 6 room unique and beautiful place to stay. Once we booked the stay, received multiple messages on information about hotel, property, and services. Easy access to 2nd floor. Amazing remodeled 100+yr old building. Rooms were perfect size for sleeping and open concept community room was nice for relaxing. Bonus was the amazing Grace coffee shop downstairs for drinks and food. Outdoor seating was lite during evening to just relax. Very close to downtown amenities and restaurants. Only negative is it’s right next to an active railroad track that is used once or twice, but a 2a train horn was startling. But, that’s a known staying at an old rail road building. All in all, definitely will come back!
