"The renovation of an existing motel is very well done. Considering the price per night is almost 1/2 of the chain motels, we were concerned with staying there the first time. Now, if we ever need a room in this town, this place would be our first choice. It is a motel and not a hotel, which means you park for free at your room door, and enter your nice room from the outside of the building. The free breakfast in the lobby has fruit and prepackaged items you can take with you, to eat in your room, and take with you as you leave. A hidden gem, off of the main highway, where it is quiet."
"We rebook here because the beds are comfy and plenty of pillows. Breakfast is good. All usual fair but really good . Breakfast lady is super nice and keeps the food hot and ready . We booked the suite this time and it was nice and lots of room.
Very safe area .
I would suggest some attention to the pool area. We enjoyed it but it needs attention.
Madison itself is amazing!! Lots to do ."
"This was one of the few rooms left in town for Madison Regatta 2026. Pretty standard for a pet friendly hotel, we were traveling without our dog, definitely in need of a massive remodel. Front desk had a left over Covid glass in place, so communication required asking for repeats at loud volumes coupled with several middle eastern accents it was frustrating to try and communicate. Enclosed pool was not vented nor air conditioned, it was stifling to even walk in the door. Lots of trash in weight room and pool area. Room was old, threadbare, dirty crevices throughout, with a noisy AC that cycled constantly, which turned out to be a plus to drown out most of the parking lot/highway noise. Definitely not worth the money, but we didn't really have a choice. Next time I'll bite the bullet, reserve 6 months early, and stay at Riverboat Inn or the horribly overpriced Fairfield by Marriot on the river."
