They put us in room 203. It has a different, very noisy AC unit that constantly turns on/off and does not cool and dehumidify well. It is very moist there, huge amount of mold is growing on ceiling. We had a reservation next week at this hotel, canceled it and will never stay at this hotel again.

My interaction with the front desk staff was by far the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I have never dealt with a person as rude, disrespectful, unprofessional, and dismissive as the lady at the front desk. Her behavior and attitude completely overshadowed what was otherwise a great stay.
The room was comfortable and quiet with good amenities. Unfortunately, the check in experience was so unpleasant that it tainted my entire trip and was genuinely anxious about leaving my room because I didn't want to have another interaction with the front desk.
No guest, or person, should be treated the way she treated me and other guests. Hospitality starts with how guests are treated and this experience fell far short of basic courtesy. It's disappointing that the service at the front desk left a lasting negative impression. I have to visit this area frequently, but I will make sure I never go back to this hotel again.

This was an unusually poor hotel. It started with the front desk staff that couldn't have been more unwelcoming. We aren't particular about having room service clean the room, but the desk said they would. They didn't. Different desk staff said they would after three nights. They didn't. Finally, after four nights they cleaned the room. On each of the previous nights, I would have to talk to the unwelcoming front desk and respectfully ask for fresh towels and more coffee. A hotel is a hotel, but this place stood out for dismal service and lousy staff.

First the good of our stay, the hotel was in a perfect location for our 1 night stay. The room was nice and spacious and fairly clean. The not so good was our room had small pillows, not king size, more like throw pillows for a loveseat. The towels were thin and scratchy. The worst part however was our not so pleasant experience with the woman working the desk at check-in. She was extremely rude and abrasive. I gave her my reservation number which I booked through Expedia. She insisted I only booked one room, even after showing her the confirmation that I booked two rooms. She was huffing and puffing and being short with us. Then when we asked if we could get a room for the same price she replied no and it would be $40 more than the Expedia price. She finally agreed to call someone and they apparently told her she needed to page down further to see the second room. We barely got an apology for her error.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and we will stay again. I'm very particular and this hotel is clean and well kept. The breakfast is standard, but good and well stocked. The only negative is that the pillows are half the size of a standard pillow. So, make sure to haul your own pillows along.

Stayed here a couple years ago and was very impressed. Just stayed here again and was not so impressed. Tried to take a shower and there was no hot water, called front desk and was told i had to let water run for 20 - 25 minutes for it to get warm. Well we did that and only had warm/hot water for 5 minutes. Then when the water was warm, the shower mad this high pitched noise, that I am surprised didn't we didn't get a noise complaint. Then I was trying to sleep and the refrigerator kicked on and it sounded like a machine in the room. Went down for breakfast one morning, and my son was dishing up some eggs, and there was a couple of hairs in them.

Rooms are big with tall ceilings. I loved the full size fridge and kitchen area. I also really liked that there was a table with chairs and a recliner. It was a wonderful place to stay for a couple nights, especially with a little one and dog. Breakfast was very good and the man who was setting it all up was so kind. Only thing that I had an issue with was it took a long time for the shower to warm up. I thought I was going to have to take a cold shower but it did end up getting a little warmer after 10 mins.

Hotel was fine but several issues.
Cons: Not enough pillows or towels for a family of 3 staying in a king suite. Poor (weirdly small) pillows. No dressor in the king bedroom - so no where to put clothes!! Was very strange - how a dressor was missing so could only hang items but not fold or have anywhere for socks, etc. This was a major drawback - when staying nearly a week and nowhere to put folded items. No conditioner in shower - need to ask front desk - cannot get from maid service (which BTW is only every 3 days). WiFi did not work on cell phone. The key card stopped working at least 1-2 times each day over our nearly week stay!! Very annoying to have to go down repeatedly to front desk for new activated card. Pool was cold (confirmed by 3 separate guests) and jacuzzi ok but not really hot. Weekend rate is costly for this type of hotel.
Pros: Location good. Breakfast had nice variety. Room spacious and clean.

The towels were dirty - 2 out of 3 of them had stains. The room smelled like smoke and air freshener. The coffee was not good. The shower screamed the whole time it was in use. Staff was great, though. Parking lot was not maneuverable several hours after winter storm.

There was no staff to check us in when we arrived. We tried ringing the bell multiple times, called number, no answer. Walked around hotel, knocking on doors, nothing. About to give up and go to another hotel, and then someone came out. Waited about 30 minutes

The rooms are fairly large and have a full size fridge, dishwasher, etc. The room is stocked with supplies and the beds were comfortable, Could have used extra blankets but we did not ask. Parking is easy. The breakfast hours on the weekend are way too early for us, they close at 9:30a on a Sunday.

Clean rooms, extremely comfortable for work with the desk area. Great location, there is a bus stop right next to the hotel that took me right downtown. They are a dog friendly hotel. Typical hotel breakfast - coffee, juice, cereal, pastry, eggs, bacon/sausage, mini pankace machine.

We had a 2 night stay over the weekend, the conference room was booked for a party on our 2nd night. Our room was right above the conference room... this hotel is poorly insulated as we heard the music pounding and vibrating our room until the end of the party at midnight. We have girls that had to get up at 3am to get ready for their dance competition. This hotel is not equipped to hold parties in the evenings when their GUESTS are trying to wind down and sleep. The frond desk staff was rude about the whole thing too... i know partially because they had TONS of complaints including one from our neighbor that night... a homeland security officer. I was patient enough not to complain but when hotels usually have QUIET TIME hours after 10pm.... they should also be mindful of their guests. WILL NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN FOR THEY WAY WE WERE TREATED. DID NOT GET A REFUND OR ANY COMPENSATION FOR OUR INCONVENIENCE.

Here for a 2 night stay. Staff was rude the moment I checked in.. as if me checking in was an interruption. There was smell of weed in the lobby hallway up to the room. The room was however nice and clean. 2nd night here... there was a party in the conference room on the 1st floor right below our room.... they stated there wasnt a quiet time and the party was booked until midnight. Stated that if i left at 1030pm i wouldnt be charged although i already paid thru Expedia. Terrible answer

Room was spacious with a full kitchen and full-size fridge. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, and we enjoyed our two-night stay. Plenty of dining options in the area and a fairly quick drive to UW. The pool and hot tub looked nice, but we didn't use these. The breakfast was average; did have eggs and waffles, so no real complaints. We would stay again when in the area.

Room was fairly clean. Had to run the hot water for 10 minutes to get it warm for the initial shower of the day. Stayed 2 nights, was not told that room would not be serviced unless it was 3 day stay. Standard breakfast was okay. Staff was very indifferent, unfriendly, and overall not welcoming. Would never stay at this property again.

Very nice staff always was someone there and very helpful. Very easy parking for a dooley truck. Rooms were amazing sizes lots of room for having to be there for 10 days, I wish had cleaner everyday but i get it that hard to find staff but thankful that we were aloud to get more towels/sheets from the front desk whenever. We had an amazing stay and looking forward to booking here again next year!!

Always ok to stay here.

The shower head is half functional. Needs replacing. The carpet is torn. Breakfast was always great and available a touch early! Much appreciated. Rooms were just ok on quietness. Could always hear the people above and the snoring next door. So not perfect but I’ll stay again scenario.

Reasonable

In the main it was a good stay with clean and adequate facilities. It is dog friendly & relatively quiet though we could hear the alarm in the room nextdoor as if it were ours. There are several restaurants and parks within walking distance and you can rent a bike and access the wonderful trail system. Negatives: gambling machines in lobby, spotty hot water, terrible coffee, meh breakfast, unwelcoming check-in person.

Meh, OK, Not Great, and a Bit Overpriced

The room was fine, although not worth what we paid, in my opinion, and some electrical sockets didn't seem to work.

They sure didn't spend much of what we paid them on air conditioning for the hot common areas or for breakfast -- this place had the most modest (skimpy) breakfast buffet I have ever seen. For instance, one container of coffee -- no decaf -- and small cups, maybe so we wouldn't take too much? Some guy was wandering around the room talking loudly on his phone, and I found out he was their staff member in charge of breakfast when he started wandering to each table to tell us he was closing soon and we'd need to finish up soon. Speaking of staff, check-in was also the longest check-in I think I've ever had.

Altogether not a terribly place or stay, but not very professional and definitely overpriced.

It was nice to have a mini kitchen, although I didn't stay there very long, it was nice to have a full size refrigerator.

The TV was very small, and had 25 dots on the screen, had to have it changed out. the replacement had 2 white dots on the screen. difficult to view the tv as it was.

Nice room

The beds were comfortable but very high. I was here for one night only, but the room does have a full sized fridge and small functional kitchen. The breakfast was fine but not great - waffle machines, scrambled eggs, sausage, cereal, bread, fruit and yogurt. Check in and out was efficient. It's a short drive to Madison, but there's also a bus stop across the street from the hotel.

This is a more extended stay suite than a hotel.
Rooms are a good size, and they come equipped with a stove, fridge, and dishwasher.
The hotel is clean, quiet, and in a good area, close to a Super Saver, and across the road from a bus station, making it easy to travel to downtown and the UW campus without a car.
The staff is not so friendly, they don't smile, and they look grumpy all the time.
Breakfast was not so good, and they clean the rooms after 3 days you staying in the hotel.
And for managers, if they see those comments, one of your employees was with slippers working on breakfast time, and in one day they mop the floor the front of the breakfast room during breakfast hours, this is not safe.
If you are on budget, it is a nice hotel to stay in
