Recently stayed at this hotel. I hadn't been back to WI since I moved 11 years ago, but it was just as nice as I remembered.
I only had two complaints. I found the parking to be very confusing. I entered an underground garage but all the spots were full. There was not a sign outside that said "full". I ended up pulling out of the parking lot and parked in a city lot for the day. I'm not sure if there is more than one parking garage, or if it just small..... It wasn't a big deal, but just confusing.
The only other complaint is that it took quite awhile to check in. It was about 3 in the afternoon, but they only had one staff person working at first and then a second person started after they realized a line was building. There were two weddings at the hotel that weekend and a convention, so it was quite busy.
I didn't stop at the lounge on the first floor, but it looked like a nice place to get a meal or drink.
The room was great. Beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was quite spacious and had really nice soaps/lotions, etc.
It's in a great location. Close walk to anything in downtown Madison.
I would recommend and look forwarding to visiting again!!
