"Outstanding hotel, well maintained, super location in the middle of campus. Excellent amenities including laundry on the floor, Excellent high-speed internet, parking next to the property and not over priced for overnight stay with in-out privilege. The best part - it’s their staff. They went above and beyond to help us out when we needed to check-in early to take an important meeting and let us use their lounge and internet for another urgent meeting when it was raining heavily outside and we needed to stay extra for a few hours. I will prioritize this property when I will visit Madison next."
