I stayed here while in town for training on two different occasions. The staff was courteous, the rooms super clean, and the rates reasonable. Unlike some other hotels, I found my room to be really quiet at night. I love that my room had a separate sofa (I hate watching tv in bed) but the tv still swiveled so you could watch in bed.
The bar is moderately stocked with a very friendly bar tender, and there's a small selection of restaurants in walking distance, some of which are pretty good. If I had a car when I was in Madison or didn't have free time (the later was the case) I would choose this without a moment's hesitation. however... Some of the hotels have shuttle services, where as this one doesn't (my only complaint).
