Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Started with check in. No one at desk. Required to ring a door bell. Took about 5 minutes for someone to race down from second floor. I had reserved a king suit room. Upon entering room, noticed dust and lint balls on floor and around furniture. A side entrance had a sign about keeping mud outside. Well, there was a mud footprint inside the entrance and remained there the three days we were there so obviously no one cleaned the hallways or entrance area. Later had ants all over a bowl. They didn’t have cups for the coffee machine, no. Reamer/sugar or stirrers. TV in bedroom kept going in and out of service. I would never stay there at a $200/night rate again. Correction, I wouldn’t stay there if someone else paid for the room.
No one in pool are because pool wasn’t heated and temperature in room was colder than the lobby

Needs Work

The front desk was not usually manned, so had to ring a bell for serivice. The front desk was dimly lit and not welcoming. The room was fine and comfortable; however, the shower was awful with little water for descent shower or washing hair. Skimpy breakfast bar, only waffles, cold cereal and some pastries. We ate out. Luckily we had a first floor room. No elevator or automatic front doors to facilitate moving luggage. We had no housekeeping service for our two night stay. At the price we paid we should have gotten more. This could be an excellent hotel if the deficiencies I noted were corrected. They have no competition now but a competitor would give them a run for the money.

15 minutes to airport

Mid-August, flew into Madison airport and drove 15 minutes to hotel. Older hotel that’s been remodeled a few years ago. Late check-in was no problem. Quiet room with comfy king bed on 2nd floor. Note - there is no elevator so you haul your bags upstairs. The desk person offered to help. Room was clean. Air conditioner worked well. Breakfast needs improvement - it’s a basic continental breakfast with waffle machine. I’d stay again for the travel convenience, price and comfort.
