Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 01 Mar 2010 rated 10 out of 10.

Off a main artery so easy to find and get to but still quiet. Good variety of restaurants across street and near by. Clean and quiet, friendly. A little worn but better than I expected. Would stay there again.

Positives: Easy to find/get to, variety of food nearby.

Negatives: A

This is a hotel features Wireless network & friendly environment. No complainant with such a price like that. I would recommend people to stay in this hotel, if they do travel Madison.

Positives: Good location, economy.

Negatives: None

Negatives: It smelled like smoke and old carpet.

Great value for the price. This hotel is right on a main street (Washington), but not noisy. Free wireless internet worked nicely. The room was clean and everything worked fine. As a smoking business traveler I stay in hotels very often and this one was perfect for the price.

Positives: Quietness, wireless internet, cleanliness.

Negatives: Nothing.

The room was clean. The hotel was in process of remodeling, dusty dirty hallways. Will not stay here again.

Positives: The room was clean.

Negatives: Remodeling in process, dust and dirt in the entry and hallways.

Kind of a dump.

Positives: Cheap and conveniently located.

Negatives: Not very clean and room smelled like cigarette smoke.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 25 Apr 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

While spotlessly clean the room was marginally sized and poorly decorated. It reminded me of an old fashioned mobile home with plastic picture frames, shiny paint and vinyl curtains. The public areas were cramped. Staff was friendly.

Positives: Clean everywhere.

Negatives: Ugly rooms.

Very basic, clean accommodations. Convenient to shopping and restaurants. Easy access to downtown Madison.

Positives: Clean and quiet.

Negatives: Because of a bus-load of teens the free breakfast was gone by 7:15am!

This hotel is fine for the money. I was not looking to vacation in the hotel, but to stay in an inexpensive hotel during vacation. The hotel had free ice, free newspapers, laundry service, free continental breakfast. It was quiet enough and well located.

Positives: Economical. Predictable. Free newspaper & breakfast.

Negatives: No extra amenities.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 14 Mar 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Overall, it's a mediocre hotel that's conveniently located near where I needed to be. It's one of the cheaper hotels around Madison so you can expect to get what you pay for. It was functional, but not exceptional in any way.

Positives: The location of the hotel was very convenient for me since it was next to a major highway.

Negatives: It's very outdated. The furniture and carpet looked like it was from the 1970's.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 04 Mar 2008 rated 4 out of 10.

It was shabby, overheated, and overpriced. It was hard to find, and not obvious how to get to it.

Positives: Wireless internet.

Negatives: Not clean, poor heat control.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 22 Jan 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Very good hotel for the price. Free Wi-Fi is great. Bathrooms seem very recently updated. Excellent hot water. In-room hairdryer, coffee, fridge is unexpected for price. Very reasonable choice for economy lodging. Some complain of lack of proximity to downtown, campus, etc. but clearly this is trying to be convenient to the interstate, not the city.

Positives: Price, proximity to interstate, free Wi-Fi.

Negatives: Construction in lobby.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 25 Sep 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

I would stay in it only if it was extremely cheap. Felt like I was in an army barracks.

Positives: It had a bed and a shower and a busted coffee maker.

Negatives: Bed was about 30 years old and sagging.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 06 Sep 2007 rated 2 out of 10.

Hotel is bad. It stinks a lot. I could not breathe properly. People are weird at hotel outside. Hotel staff never smiles.

Positives: Next to highway.

Negatives: Stinks.

Nice, clean, inexpensive hotel. Great value for the money. We will definitely stay there again.

Positives: Convenience, price, cleanliness.

Negatives: Narrow hallways, separate building from main hotel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 06 Aug 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

Good value and friendly staff.

Positives: Night clerk was terrific and helped us with a minor entry problem. She couldn't have been nicer.

Negatives: TV remote didn't work. New batteries didn't help.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 22 Jul 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

For an economy hotel, it offers what you hope for. It is far less attractive on the outside than it is on the inside. I was clean, equipped for travelers who might stay a while, and efficient.

Positives: Price, microwave and fridge, food in lobby and location worth stay.

Negatives: Exterior unattractive.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 27 Jun 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

The rooms were nice for the price. No complaints. We arrived in the purring rain and it was difficult to see the entrance to the main lobby and then especially difficult to find the side entrance for our room. We were offered a rollaway cot at no extra charge for child. The continental breakfast had a nice selection.

Positives: Nice selection for breakfast had roll away cot for child right away.

Negatives: The location is somewhat awkward as it is up a steep hill and hard to figure out in the dark.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 02 May 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

Overall the hotel was nice. I was even on the first floor and I could even open the window. I had a problem with parking and the bath tub, but it still was an 8 in my book.

Positives: I really liked the room that I was in, and the location.

Negatives: In the bath tub, the top coating was peeling off.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 Mar 2007 rated 1 out of 10.

Positives: I didn't like anything. They allowed pets.

Negatives: Smelled of pets.
