My room on the first floor was very loud - the walls were paper thin so my neighbor got 3 wake up calls at 5:00 AM, 5:15 AM and 5:30 AM...which meant I, too, got 3 wake up calls.

Good location right off I90. Starbucks, McDs, Culvers, Kwik Trip conveniently nearby. At the time we stayed the breakfast and elevator area was under renovation. Breakfast was moved to the meeting room...which really wasn't an issue at all. A lot of decent breakfast options: pancakes, sausage, eggs, cinn rolls, etc... Rooms for us were quiet, clean and seemed recently renovated. Bathroom was very small with just toilet and shower. Sink is by the door as you walk in the room. Other than the renovations in the lobby/breakfast area to deal with this hotel was a pleasant stay for us. It was a good spot to stay north of Madison for us to head towards MN the next morning.

The location is great! So many food options within walking distance. The front desk clerk was wonderful. She let us check in early. The room was clean and had Dove soaps, lotions and shampoos which were nice. The breakfast buffet was good. We didn't leave hungry. The lady running the buffet was a sweetheart! The only downside was the hotel is under remodeling. The hot tub was inoperable. And possibly the pool might be before long. Our room 313 was on the Starbucks side. They open at 6 and woke us up. The drive thru is right there and you can hear the lady on the loudspeaker taking orders. wastuemodeling

This was one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in this year. I feel even the more upscale hotels have started cutting corners when it comes to cleanliness and customer service. This establishment hit the nail on the head with their overall appearance and customer service. From check in to check out, we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely choose this hotel again. It's also kid friendly.

Your description of the room is deceiving. It stated that it was accessible and communications? What does that mean? I wanted a handicap room and did not get one by paying through Expedia. There was no other mention of you offering a handicap room.

A nice place to stay

The hotel is redoing the rooms. They are very nice. New carpet, bathroom fixtures etc. There is much variety at breakfast. The staff was welcoming. Everything was clean.
My one complaint was our room was facing a large gas station. There were large lights that shined right into our room. Our room had no black out shades.

The room was nice. It had a nice decor of blue and white..
And extremely dated television, a small bathroom. Beds were actually very good.
We did have to change our room because they accidentally put us in a room that hadn’t been cleaned. They were very apologetic and happy to accommodate.
This hotel is half being remodeled from best Western to a holiday so that was evident.
There were some lingering cigarette smells throughout the hotel, but not in the rooms.
The elevator was disgusting and had a huge stain in it, and it was stained yellow all over. The breakfast was two stars just mediocrity. I would not stay at this holiday again. It was also very expensive for the weekend and what we were getting.

The hotel didn’t seem to be full but I was put next to rooms that were occupied as well. That wouldn't have bern a problem except the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything! The people next to me were violently slamming their bathroom door over and over, and no one from the hotel came to check on the noise. The shower caulking was non-existent so water was all over the bathroom and I had to use every towel to try to soak it up. The bathroom mirror had led built in that blinked all night long when off. The only upside was the complimentary hot breakfast.

Not up to Holiday Inn Express standards!

I stayed at other Holiday Inn expresses throughout the years and this one did not live up to the names standards. Where do I start? For starters, it smelt like Indian curry inside the hotel, I found a long hair on my bed, the wallpaper was from the 80s, the TV was not a modern smart TV. It was from the 2010s and was not able to stream Netflix, the carpet was from the 80s the faucets were from the 90s

Not great

Felt shabby. The toilet ran until you removed the tank lid and manually fixed it. The shower had two bottles of conditioner and no shampoo. The regular thermostat had a sign saying it didn’t work and to use the window unit, which made an awful inconsistent rattle/scraping noise that made it hard to sleep. The lighting was inconsistent inside varying between full spectrum and soft warm lighting.

I asked our last night at the front desk if they had a corkscrew for a bottle of wine and I got a weird response asking if it was only the one bottle and that I wasn’t going to be rowdy (I’m a 50 year old guy staying with my wife and 14 year old daughter).

Staying closer to Madison when visiting my family will cost more and have more traffic but I imagine it’s worth it over this place. I won’t be staying here again.

Nice hotel, but a major mix up

The hotel was fine. Our room was very clean. We were allowed to check in early which was very helpful. The only snag we had was that we were put into a room that was not supposed to be ours. Later in the day, another family had keys to our room and tried to come in. So they assigned the same room to two different families. They seemed to have assigned us one room but accidentally printed up paper work and keys for another that was supposed to be for a different family.

Not a bad stay but won't be back

Our stay was ok. They are renovating next year and it needs it. Unfortunately, we don't think we will be back, they will be starting to charge extra to use the pool. It looked like that was for paying guests too. Sound proofing is not very good, heard the people above us. Their breakfast is the best part but not enough to go back.

Carpeting is dark and has stained areas. Wallpaper is torn and peeling in hallways. Corners of tub surround had dark build up.
