“Christmas Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

We enjoyed our stay here during a visit to see the relatives. It was in a great location - easy to get to from the major roads and near the large East Towne Mall and lots of different restaurants. The lobby was beautiful. The pool and game area were wonderful - the kids spent many hours enoying both. The pool was large and the pool area very attractive - much more so than the other name brand chains in town (we stay in Madison often enough to have stayed at a number of places).... so if you are looking to lounge by the pool, this is a great place. The room was nice enough. Very clean -- which is extremely important to me. As noted, the beds were full instead of queen but they were comfortable. TV had adequate channels. Showers were good. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

“Worn down, needs an update”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

Service was friendly and prompt. As a Priority Club member, I was upgraded to a junior suite.

The hotel is really showing it's age and is not well maintained. The furniture in the room was mismatched and had many scratches. There were scratches on the baseboards and cabinets. The closet doors had been removed, and the wallpaper was peeling.

All in all, there are many better options in Madison.

“Sat night stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

Booked through priceline, easy to find, good E. Washington St location across from East Towne. We arrived after 11pm on a Sat night, check in was prompt, easy. Our room was close to elevator, 2 full beds, not Queen, kind of small, however beds were comfortable, coffee maker in room. We enjoyed our stay, would stay again.

Room Tip: We were located by an elevator, some hall noise, but not bad.

“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

Ok so it was clean...broken frige and microwave which was located down the hall and around the corner. Employees should be a bit more friendly and or helpful..they are working (by choice) in the hospitality industry. All in all it could have been much worse but if we're ever in Madison again we wouldent stay here. The location is close to the highway which was nice and across from a mall.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to write your comments on Trip Advisor. Although we would rather receive positive comments, it is very helpful to receive any comments, so we can correct any negative issues. I aplogize for the microwave not working, and although we don't have any refrigerators in the vending areas, possibly it was an ice machine that was not working. In regards to associates not being friendly, you are certainly correct in saying they choose to work in the hospitality industry and should be friendly to everyone. I will certainly address this.

Once again, thank you for your response, and I do hope you will give us another try the next time you are in Madison. Our goal is to provide the finest service in the area.

Best regards,
Sandy Harper

“A comfortable, well-kept property that meets franchise standards”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

It had been a few years since our last visit and we were pleased to see that the property has undergone renovation. Housekeeping is excellent and facilities are all in good repair. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet (though it's not cheap.) In addition to the hotel's cafe, there are a lot of restaurants in close proximity.

There are computers available in an open area of the lobby. The pool is nice, but this is one of those unfortunate situations in which you will be practically swimming through the lobby in a glass enclosed area that puts us a little more on display than we like to be. The hot tub was down with a maintenance issue. There is an exercise room that is open 24 hours. One especially welcome amenity: a Starbucks coffee kiosk in the lobby which opens at 6 a.m.

The wireless Internet service in the guest room seemed to be a bit sluggish, but it is also complimentary, which is always appreciated. Likewise, we found the remote for the television in the guest room to be barely functioning and the Channel guide didn't match what was on the screen, so it was a bit of a chore to tune in to the limited selections offered on the hotel's satellite system. One other note: the elevators aren't particularly speedy and we weren't sure if all three of them were operating at times.

On a positive note, this is a nice hotel with a friendly staff and typical rates are very reasonable for this level of property.

Room Tip: A second floor room is a nice way to stay out of the first floor foot traffic while not having to re...
