This hotel is very dated, but for the money it's a great value. Rooms were clean; had a problem with the drain in the bathtub but it was fixed promptly. The singing chef/shuttle driver was a plus!! Convenient to airport; about a 15-minute drive to the Capitol. Although a continental breakfast is included, we opted for Einstein Bagels across the... More

The room was great. Clean, well-outfitted, comfy beds, little to no ambient noise from outside the room. The facilities were truly impressive for the price: large pool, hot tub, game room... We were never able to make the wi-fi work in the room. We never tried in the common areas. Desk staff were excellent. The dude serving breakfast, however, was... More

Stayed one night around the holidays while visiting friends in Madison area. The hotels is in a busy shopping area just off interstate but the price was right, especially for a place with an indoor pool.They also had a game room and hot tub--so the kids were thrilled. Room was just okay, very typical fare. An a la carte breakast... More

I stayed 3 nights at Christmas time and paid about $45 a night. The couple employees I encountered were very nice but a special thanks to Victoria. She always went out of her way to assist me with any questions. Rooms are big enough, fridge and micro. If you want HD TV then you are out of luck but with... More

I stayed at the Howard Johnson for 4 days and 3 nights. Dec 12-15, 2011. There is nothing more comforting than being comfortable away from my own home. The staff is incredibly courteous and professional. They dress to impress in better words. The continental breakfast is like no other. The pool is AMAZING. The rooms are spacious and the beds...

After growing up and working in the hospitality industry my whole life i can say that the hotel is okay. The bar and restaurant is mediocre with okay service, but one thing that stood out above all was nothing negative but one of the best front desk agents i have ever had the privilage of working with. Victoria went above... More

I booked 3 rooms for my family while I was in Europe and planned this as a reunion with my family as I moved back to Madison. This was suppose to be a wonderful place for all of us to visit and have fun for Thanksgiving and the night of Thanksgiving my mother was resting in her room and got... More

I typically don't write online reviews but my experience with this hotel was so BAD I want to spare other travelers from what I had to go through. It started with the loud noise and disruption that prevented any sleep from happening. The more I called the front desk to get assistance the more irritated and annoyed the staff sounded... More

I noticed the soiled carpet down the hallway going to my room. The next day others in our group stated they had roaches in their rooms and took photos to prove it. One guy remained positive and said he had more roaches in his room when he stayed in a hostel in Italy. However, we paid full price and should... More
