This was not a great experience. The positives were the workers we encountered were friendly (2 people for our very short stay) and the breakfast was pretty good. Also, the pool looked nice, small, but nice. We did not get the chance to use it on our short stay, but it looked nice and others were using it.

Not so good:
-Everything is pretty run down/old.
-The bed in one of our rooms was so broken in, your head was lower than your feet if you slept a “normal” way.
-The pillows felt like balled up t-shirts shoved in a pillow case.
-The shower head was so low, they may have been set up for children. I am 5’6” and they were set up to hit my neck.
-The air conditioner in one of our rooms did not function. It blew very little air, and did not cool the room. The air conditioner in the other room sounded like a motorcycle taking off when it turned on.
-The fridges in our rooms were left unplugged. We did not plug them in to see if they worked.
-Plumbing was not great. In one room, the sink drained exceptionally slowly. In the other, you had to hold the handle for 15 seconds to flush completely.
-The side door to the building did not have a functioning lock on it, so anyone could access this section of the building.
-Parking was limited.
-One of us came home with bug bites on their thighs… we are not sure what it was from, but we did not spend time outdoors.

Not a positive or negative, but just awareness- the keys to your room are actually physical keys, not cards.

I didn't stay at this hotel because as soon as I drove up, they had had 3 kids out there smoking and they started whistling at me and they looked like hoodlums. The place was extremely trashy from the outside and way off the beating path. If I had known that I would have never booked it online. I went inside and told the lady that I wouldn't be staying because of the vibe I received and asked for a refund, and she said that it wasn't possible so, I told her that I would just cancel it with my card.

**THERE IS A CITY GARBAGE BURNING FACILITY RIGHT UP THE ROAD**

This hotel sucks! They have a pool, and that's really it. The location is not really that far from Downtown Madison, but its not really in a good location. It's at the end of a road with no outlet so getting to/from the hotel is a bit of a hassle.

The rooms are tiny, king size bed was decent sleep. The WiFi isn't great and the TV is tiny so watching from the bed is not a great experience.
There is no workout room, which the 'amenities' section said there was.
The breakfast was a big let down. I wasn't expecting anything super fancy obviously but there was just nothing available when I came down. The lady told me it starts at 730am, I came down at 730am and most of the food was gone.

Biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage links, all basically gone. There's a small omelet station so that was at least decent, and some cold fruits to pick from was nice.

Overall, I would avoid this place. You're better off spending an extra 20-30 dollars per night to find a different hotel.

It’s best to understand that I’m reviewing this hotel based on what was promised. They 100% delivered on the promise in the listing.
Pool and room was clean. The bed was comfortable and lots of fluffy pillows. I saw zero dirt anywhere despite this hotel being a favourite with people who work for a living.
Breakfast was quite good for a continental with fresh waffles and eggs.

We stayed here after a concert. We live two hours away. I could not find the place on my maps or Google and when I called the very rude woman who answered the phone kept trying to give me directions as if I lived out here. They were extremely disrespectful. Then when we arrived, we realized that you could just walk in. There’s no locked doors. Anybody could just walk into that hotel at any time. I asked them about that and their response was well. You know the doors are locked to your room that made me feel horrible. I was terrified all night when I got into the room. It was disgusting. Nobody has cleaned any corner for a very long time. I found pubic hair on the bed. There was poop on the wall in the bathroom. It smelled like crap. The bed was caved in in the middle. I found it incredibly disgusting and I’m no high maintenance person. I wouldn’t stay here again. If you paid me, I urge you if your family or a decent person that likes to sleep without pubes to not even give this place a chance I would love my money back, but it’s not even worth asking.

The breakfast is what really stood out for me. They had one of the best breakfast assortments of any hotel that i have been to. The had a griddle with eggs already Scrambled in a pitcher with veggies and cheese to make your own omlet. They had a waffle maker, rotary oven to toast bagles and slices of bread. They also had a machine that automatically made 2 pancakes fresh with 1 touch of a button. Fresh juices cereals and more. The room was to be expected for price range. But the breakfast was top notch.

A little run down but room was clean and bed was comfortable. OK for a one night casino trip. Staff friendly. It is next to a landfill but we didn't experience any bad smells. FYI, according to Expedia, it is a one minute drive to the casino (as the crow flies) as the hotel is located across the highway from the casino on a dead-end road and there is no direct access across the highway to the casino. You have to drive back up the dead end road about a mile and cross over an overpass to get to the other side of highway and drive back about a mile where the casino is. I would say a five minute drive. (Lots of confusing round a bouts but that is not hotels fault.) Didn't do breakfast but set up looked ok.

Honestly I’ve stayed in hotels and motels across the country and I’m giving this place 5 stars. I stayed for 5 days. The outside of the place ain’t much to look at but the inside is maintained very very well, especially for the size of it. The rooms aren’t like typical dated motel rooms and have a modern feel to them (I loved the wall colors!). I was like, “oh OH, these ppl got style!” Housekeeping serviced my room at the same time every day and were very accommodating. And the breakfast was top tier for a motel. There were plenty of options and they even have an omelet station where you can make your own omelet! The ONLY downside was that the property is landlocked by the highway so you’re not able to walk to a gas station so plan accordingly.

Room had been renovated so it was clean and comfortable, had lots to offer for breakfast, far more than the continental breakfast indicated in the listing. Hotel itself is located on the other side of the highway from town with very poor access to anything. Nearest restaurant or gas station is several miles away, even the highway access ramp was over a mile. Outside of the hotel and area looked like a war zone, in serious need of a major cleanup and repairs. Inside looked much better than the outside, it had some repairs and upgrades completed and others underway. The sign did not display the correct hotel name making it difficult to spot.

This shouldn't even be on the app in my opinion. The entire area was not just run down but dangerous if children were around. There was a scissor lift just sitting on the side of the building with unsecured lumber haphazardly left on top. Tenents prop open security doors. The fridge and microwave were both on a power strip, not a surge protector. There's no cable just tv antennas hanging in the window. If your looking for a snack you can go purchase some Ramen from the front desk behind the plate glass security window. They don't allow you to be face to face with the staff. It does not have a friendly vibe. The place doesn't feel family friendly, we tried to give it the benefit of the doubt since it was just 2 adults for 1 night on a road trip and went into the room. However it wasn't clean looking, or feeling. The outside of the building had garbage and broken appliances. The tenents didn't give a friendly welcome. We aren't strangers to rough areas and this hotel made us uncomfortable enough we left and found a different hotel. We've never done that before. This place is definitely not for families children! We should have taken more photos!

I showed the property the email they sent me and they were surprised that \"corporate\" had sent it. It was very disappointing as that was one of the reasons we took this very out of the way hotel far from everything in Madison. The rooms were dated (ours still worked on a key) but clean with some very interesting room furniture. Bathroom was odd, the shower was big enough but the shower didn't tilt, so it shot water all over the floor near the the toilet. The breakfast was the best surprise, make your own omelets, biscuits and gravy, waffle and pancake stations, fruit station. Fresh hashbrowns. It was really a great breakfast.
