I've been to many Marriotts over the years ranging from Fairfields to JWs and Vacation Clubs so I know a bad Marriott when I see one. This one was up to par and made the stay comfortable for us.
The staff is friendly and makes it a point to greet everyone and even engage in a little small talk. They even had a Scrabble game up on the counter for people to join in on as they passed through. I thought that was a very smart and engaging little touch.
I don't know when this location was built but the rooms and building are of the remodeled or newer generation style so everything is clean and slick.
Access is somewhat of a pain because their road is off of a frontage road so it's easy to get confused when trying to get to the highway or surrounding area.
Overall great comfortable place to stay for a fair price while in the Madison area.
