“disappointing stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2010

I stayed here with my tour group, and they were well organized to check everyone in, but the air con wasn't working at all in our room once we got there. The machine was powering, but no cold air came out of it. Luckily when we got back to the room after an evening out, it was ok, and proceeded to get colder as the night wore on.

The mattress was quite poor, and I could feel the springs in my back. The pillows were so large and firm, that it hurt my neck to use it, so I ended up sleeping without a pillow altogether.

Breakfast was included the next morning, and consisted of breads, waffles, hard boiled eggs, coffee, and juices.

Overall the stay was mediocre, and I am glad we were only there one night.

“Good Basic Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This place provides good, basic lodging at a reasonable price. If you want something special or fancy, look elsewhere. There are plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance that will fit anyone’s taste or budget. The first room I was put in had a very loud air conditioning unit, but the front desk personnel put me in a different room. Free breakfast includes standard cereals, juices, bagels, and make-your-own waffles. You can’t take any of the food with you, though, so forget eating in your room or making a second meal off the breakfast bar. Free Wi-Fi Internet worked well, as did the multi-channel Cable (Satellite?) TV. I’d definitely stay here again.

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2010

person found this review helpful

I would never stay at this hotel again. The mattresses were older and very soft. The rooms were clean. But two out of the three of my family had very cold showers in the morning with standing water in the tub. This was early in the morning too. WIth all the stays at hotels in the past, this has never happened to us before. This was a convenient location and the staff was helpful when we checked in.

“Clean and cheap”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2009

Certainly not your midrange motel in quality but the price is certainly right. The place is old but has been kept up quite well and is clean. Rooms are old and small as are the bathrooms but everything seemed to work OK and you get a free newspaper in the morning and they do have internet. Sorry, no pool.
The breakfast is mostly prepackaged food and not much to brag about but the folks are friendly and if you have the need for a motel on the far east side of Madison, this place will work.
Be sure to request that your room be in the main building as there is an additional building but I was not in it and don't know what it is like.
