A truly unique place to stay. A bit of a time capsule from another era, in a great way. We arrived later in the evening, so we checked in with the barkeep downstairs. Received free drink tickets and free breakfast vouchers for the Come Back In next door. Being just a couple blocks from the Capitol, a lake view from our room, makes this a prime location for a visit to Madison. Way better than a generic cookie cutter room at the corporate options.
