The Edgewater needs updated signs on where you’re at! No signs in elevators for Augie’s Tavern. No helpful signs on how to get to the lobby from the parking garage.

Stayed at this hotel recently and was really impressed with how beautiful and clean it was. The atmosphere was elegant, and everything felt well-maintained. The only downsides were that the layout was a bit confusing to navigate, and I wish there had been more clarity on what was included in our package. We weren’t always sure what amenities we had access to. That said, it was a great experience overall, and I’d still recommend it for a comfortable stay!
