My wife and I chose this place based on the photos and the initial reviews, but upon our arrival I was more disappointed than anything. The inn is old and poorly maintained. The old saying, "if you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig" was never more fitting than here. From the outside, the signage and parking lot were not very welcoming. There was a half eaten box of chicken in the parking lot as well as an old mattress in the front parking lot corner. Basic maintenance could have solved this problem. It was even worse once we entered the inn. Don't let the pictures fool you. Our room was not even close to looking that nice. Our room was in an obscure corner...more like a closet. The walls were painted cinder blocks with a ground level window looking into a poorly maintained rear parking lot. Our bathroom was also like a closet with only enough room to turn around. The owner attempted to paint the tub, toilet and vanity to make it look nice...They should have been replaced. There were 2 piece of candy on the bed...they looked like they have been there for years. They have a pool, but is all torn up and unusable. The inn smelled and it was clear the owners tried to cover it up with wick diffusers and plug-ins all over the place. Given the poor condition of this inn, my wife and I decided not to stay and left the same night we checked in. I preferred to drive the 2+ hours home instead of staying here. Do yourself a favor and look for a different place to stay.

This feels like a "rent by the week" kind of place. There's definitely a few folks living here. I know you get what you pay for. I'm paying for it. Can hear televisions on both adjacent sides. Can hear neighbor's conversations. Reviews were decent so i gambled. Oops. Says check-in is until 9PM. Arrived at 7PM. No one at desk so I ring Ring bell. No one comes. Ring again. Wait. No signs of life. After three rings, call phone number posted at desk. Call number and a woman answers and says someone will be down. No one comes. Ring bell again, wait another 5 min. Call number again. She says she'll be right down. 5 minutes later she arrives. Took her another 7-10 minutes to check me in. Place reeks like stale cigarettes and grandma-scented oil sticks dipped in grandpa's linament oil. "Residents" who pay by the week must write these reviews because place is close to horrific. Hair in tub. Dirty bathroom floor. No room keys. Keypad lock and I wonder if they even change the code? Have a tripod and chair blocking door. Oh year, the pool is closed, tagged and deemed unsafe by order of the health dept. No carts, no elevator. No screen or lock in window. Floors dirty. Bedcover is dirty. Curtains are filthy. TV remote probably never washed, buttons caked with grease and crumbs. I FEEL ITCHY.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The inside was generally clean and tidy. What lets this property down is its outside and location. The outside was poorly maintained with weeds growing out of the parking lot pavement, potholes and a generally dirty outside of the building. It was noisy during the night with altercations going on outside the property and shady characters nearby. You get what you pay for, I guess. Wouldn't stay there again. Having said that - the staff and the inside of the property were good.

We just needed the room for a night's sleep so considering that it met our requirements. The hotel is quite dated and not as clean. The a/c units filter change button was on and when we changed the temperature on it, it started giving off a horrible burnt smell.

The bed was comfortable but not the cleanist. Windows were cracked and seemed like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time.

I wouldn't stay here again.

I highly do not recommend this hotel. Pictures attached do not say enough! Mattresses in the lobby, Construction wood laying around the property, rust on the doors, so dirty I did not even check into the hotel. Was there for a concert and paid over $300 for a room that is non refundable. My photos don’t match up to the photos they have posted. There is definitely false advertising for this specific hotel.

Like: Inside of property was recently renovated (swimming pool in process) and everything looks good. The rooms, kitchen and common areas were quiet and clean. Spacious rooms. The receptionist and employees were attentive and helpful. About 8 minutes to MSN airport. Would stay again.

The staff were really welcoming and accommodating, even though I arrived late and had special needs, which was great! The common areas were really pretty, clean, and nicely updated. Breakfast was simple but good. My bed was comfy and there was great water pressure! The linens were scentless or close to it so I didn't get a rash from the detergent--hard to come by at this price range, and that made me happy. However, the room smelled like old cigarettes and the bathroom was scary in its moldiness--the ceiling was full of it to the extent the ceiling was flaking off in places due to damage. There was a burning smell when I ran the bathroom fan. I'm not sure if it was just because I came late and got one of the last two rooms of the night, but I would have appreciated my room being renovated more before being considered fit for guests. My room did not uplift my spirits. I've stayed at a lot of motels and if all the rooms at this property are like mine, then I can't recommend this property to friends or family, at least until the rooms are updated to match the quality of the common areas. (Even though I would have liked to, for the good parts of the property and its staff.)

During check in, the clerk didn’t give the correct door password so had to come back to get another one. She did this to the guest who checked in before me as well.

Also, after checking in, I went to look around Madison and get some dinner. After I had dinner, I came back and there were no parking in the front so parked in the back. It was raining and there is no entrance except for the front entrance. Had to walk around the building and getting wet from the rain with hands full of things.

Then, when I tried to get into the room, the door was locked. Someone was in my room! I was knocking and a man opened the door. Front desk closes at 9p and he was arriving after that time. So he said he received a message with the same room number and code. We spent half an hour trying to get ahold of someone to figure this out. Finally someone responded and he got another room. I wanted to say something but I didn’t get the number he had and it was almost midnight and I was tired asf. Just wanted to call it a day. Will say something in the morning when checking out.

This is going to be a strange review...

It appears this hotel is under new management and a concerted effort to update is underway. On the downside, the pool is disassembled, the outer shell is worn and faded, the sign is almost unreadable.

On the inside, there are new vinyl floors, new paint, new locks, new artwork. The beds are lower end but in good shape. Window AC with only controls on the unit. Breakfast is pre-prepared since there doesn't seem to be a kitchen unit-lots of sweetened cereal, pastries, nice fruit, terrible coffee and no protein. Staff were very sweet, although I didn't see much of them over the two days-there isn't someone at the front desk most of the time.

The area is struggling: lots of older houses, new huge apartment blocks, a Goth music venue, two "massage parlours" and an X-rated bookstore. No restaurant in easy walking distance. No grocery store. Rapid transit is good, though, the bus that goes downtown to East Town mall is right outside the door with a weather protected stop.

So, if you just need a place to sleep and you've got your transportation, entertainment and dining under control? Nice place at a great price. If you want a hotel to do more than just give you a place to sleep, look elsewhere.

While the outside of the property appears to be a little rough around the edges, the inside of the facility is well maintained. Iv read previous complaints about how loud the air conditioning is but I would say its about as loud as a box fan, so those claims seem greately exaggerated. The morning breakfast is nothing fancy and consists of cereals, yogurts, fresh fruit and pre-packaged breakfast pastries. The staff at this hotel have been very friendly during my 5 day stay. If I return to Madison I would likely stay at this hotel again. The highlight for me is there is a metro bus station across the street, which makes traversing the city very convenient and inexpensive (as many parking garages in madison charge upwards of 20-30$).

Not worth it

I booked this room 6 months ago (January) for the Morgan Wallen concert and made attempts to message the staff/venue in February via the Hotels app and then several calls to various numbers via this app and Google as trying to situate check-in but never a response (or good number). Arrive early Saturday to try and situate this prior to concert, no staff anywhere, call the # on sign, told they will text a code when room is ready (around 4p), they forgot as I had to call them again to confirm this. Get there that night, wrong code & locked out. Try and ring the bell, no response. Have to text them and get a new code.
Room was not cleaned well, floors need to be mopped, stains on sheets, bathroom was skeptical. I was supposed to have 1 king, got 2 queens. 1 was totally un-usable and horribly uncomfortable with springs stabbing your back.
Still never once saw someone of 'staff' the entire time we stayed. And not enough parking for guests, have to park on street.

Was told this is a bad area of town with high crime and shootings close by. Hotel room is very small. Air conditioning and bathroom light are super loud. Bathroom is very old. Do yourself a favor and spend more money for some place nicer.

Also tried to check in early and was told it would cost $50. That’s more than half the room price.

Not worth the money for a Badger weekend

Over priced for a Badger football weekend!

Paid over $200 for a room that isn't worth $75!!!
The rooms are something I would expect from a motel in the sticks of Wisconsin, not on E. Washington in Madison. The King sized bed was being held up with something from IKEA and the bathroom had to have 20 coats of paint in the walls!
