If
you
want
luxury,
then
spend
big
bucks
at
the
Pfister
or
Ambassador.
If
you
want
a
plethora
of
amenities,
then
the
Marriot
or
Hilton
will
suffice.
But
if,
like
me,
you
have
people
to
visit
in
Mequon
or
nearby
east
side,
and
all
you
want
is
a
clean
comfortable
room,
then
that
is
what
you
will
get
here.
The
ambience
is
pure
simplicity,
circa
1950's-60's,
and
if
you
are
not
from
Milwaukee,
then
you
are
most
likely
unaware
of
the
rich
history
of
this
motel.
For
decades,
Chalet
on
the
Lake
was
a
5*
restaurant
where
even
the
middle
class
found
a
way
to
dine
once
or
twice
a
year.
Dressed
in
your
Sunday
best,
it
was
an
elegant
and
delicious
dining
experience,
and
kids
like
me
loved
petting
the
owner's
St.
Bernard,
Heidi,
who
greeted
all
the
children
as
though
she
were
theirs.
But
if
you
abhor
historical
landmarks
and
hate
the
cold,
as
some
here
have
suggested,
then
you
might
want
to
consider
avoiding
Milwaukee
in
the
winter,
and
go
stay
somewhere
where
you
overpay
for
a
warm
working
shower
and
cozy
bed
because
the
hotel
spent
its
money
on
modern
decor
and
amenities
you
may
never
need
to
use.
This
is
5*
bang
for
your
buck--or
is
it
Bucks?
