"We've stayed at this hotel often, as we travel through Madison quite frequently. It's just a one night stay and it meets our needs perfectly. The property is very clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable and the ac works well. Recently I've noticed some issues with maintenance though. The bathtubs drain very slow and this time, the bathroom sink was spraying water all over the counter and the pocket door was pretty beat up and scratched all over. Other than some of the upkeep issues, it's a comfortable place to stay."
