Madison

This was a very nice hotel located in a perfect neighborhood in Madison. The reception desk was efficient and quick. The valet parking was very accommodating and was able to accommodate our truck with a trailer. It was a great location to either eat in the restaurant in the hotel or walk to the downtown area, which was very nearby. The hotel room was first class large very well-maintained and very modern. I will definitely stay here again.

Our wonderful experience❤️

Our stay was beyond amazing. Every single employee was helpful and accomodating to every need if we needed it. Our valet service man, I think his name was John, went above and beyond for us too. We will definitely be back and have recommended them to several people. We have literally ZERO compliants. None. Thank you for such a great experience. ~Carie McKeown
