The room was great and the staff were all very pleasant. Everyone I spoke to was great - from the front desk staff to the staff in the dining area at breakfast.

Kyle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very nice facility. Opened in August of 2025, it was only six months old at the time of my stay so it is, and still looked, new and spotless. Would definitely stay here again.

The property was very on top of room service and did an excellent job with keeping the property clean. Also offers a continental breakfast which was quick and tasty. Overall property was kept clean and offered options to shuttle to downtown Madison.
Jared, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Looked like a complete brand new hotel. The staff was courteous and professional at all times. The breakfast didn’t have many choices, but I’d say it is way better than any other hotel I’ve stayed at. 10/10.
Jose, 1-night trip

The room was clean, the staff was professional and courteous. They were very helpful with the elevators when there was an issue with it. The location is awesome as we were attending the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show.

All the new improvements are great
Don, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like the remodel. The room was nice. I was disappointed in the breakfast compared to years past and would rate even the continental breakfast as less than average.
Douglas, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff and love that it is connected to Alliant Energy center so you dont even have to go outside to get there.
Rachel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My only piece of feedback is our room had lady bugs on the ceiling and house flies everywhere. Other than that, check in/out was smooth and we had no other issues
