The Experience throughout the Planning

Since the planing was launched in the second quarter of 2008, radical change has been afoot. The goal when completed is to combine the historic look from a bygone era with a modern edge.

We had been long due, and we committed to this remodeling which is rather called “Extreme Makeover: Hotel Edition”.

We have worked on the bathrooms to shaping up its looks, and offer you to feel a great comfort of a restful space when you step in. With this being done we are positioning ourselves on a different scale amongst all the properties in the area, we could compete against larger properties and balance what we offer here.

If we do not have the pool and restaurant, we have/are a Historic Landmark - Frank Lloyd Wright architectural design, prairie style building, developed under the "organic" concept of the famous Architect.

"LOVE is the virtue of the HEART

SINCERITY the virtue of the MIND

COURAGE the virtue of the SPIRIT

DECISION the virtue of the WILL

The Organic Commandment 1940

Frank Lloyd Wright.

Phase I

When we are done, we will elevate our property - The Usonian Inn, to elite positioning in the upper upscale category along those well known 5 star chain hotels. We will outperform the competition even in this small community.

We are well-positioned to make the drastic changes needed in order to ensure that Usonian Inn is as meaningful to people today as it was in the1950s when it was the only motel on US Hwy 14 between Madison and LaCross WI.

Our registered historic site - NOW,- has been enhanced and we will reflect even more a symbol of quality, comfort and excellence. We have received some statewide recognition for our Green approach and great reviews from our customers and our target audience worldwide.

We are offering a new experience opportunity for everyone that stays here, every day.

The key to the Usonian Inn future success, was creating an inviting lobby experience. These days it seems to be where people want to be. And it has to be an inviting place. (Other improvements to be implemented with Phase II)

We will extend the revitalization beyond the bathrooms, to the guest rooms, lobby/lounge, creating a signature experience through new designs and enhanced amenities.

"We enjoyed staying at the Usonian. Large comfortable room, very reasonably priced, good coffee in lobby, great location for sightseeing, in the style of Frank of Wright. Would definitely recommend and would go back myself." M.M. November 2, 2008

 

"Staying at the Usonian was one of the best experiences we've had at a hotel, customer service-wise. Carolina made us feel incredibly welcome--this is the first time I want to make sure and go back to the same hotel when I'm back in town. Organic coffee in the rooms, plus espresso in the lobby to be carried back to your room on a silver tray with doilies." S.D. October 6, 2008
