"Good experience, but the service at this hotel was lacking. No follow-through from the front desk on issues with the room. Convenient to Madison. Great room and breakfast, and everything was clean.2019-10-23"
"Easy to access. The hotel room was clean, large, and well-equipped, and the bed was comfortable. Friendly, efficient staff and ample parking. There were restaurants and bars nearby.2022-09-13"
"A lovely hotel. The lobby was clean and attractive, and so was the room. The mattress was too soft for my taste, though, and the bedspread was thin. I was scratching all night. Great flat-screen TV with a variety of channels. Clan bathroom, but the shower water was brown at first, so I had to let it run a bit. The staff was welcoming, and the maintenance man was so helpful and kind. Lovely pool. I wasn't impressed with the breakfast; no healthy options due to Covid.2021-01-02"
"The hotel was new, nice, and clean. Great room with comfortable bed and pillows. The front desk staff was friendly, organized, and informative. So many choices at breakfast; it was wonderful to eat before heading home. I have absolutely no complaints.2015-11-21"

"All the employees were helpful, and the shuttle driver was fantastic; he gave us a history lesson as he drove us around Madison, and helped my wheelchair-bound husband without making him feel bad. This hotel is a good choice.2023-09-26"
"This hotel is so worth a stay. I was so grateful for the snowy transfers to and from UW Hospital, the on-site parking, and the complete breakfast. If you have appointments or a hospitalization at UW, stay here.2023-03-11"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
