| - The Campus Inn is a great option for those visiting the University of Madison campus. It puts you just off of State Street and is easy walking distance or a bus ride from just about anything you might want to see. It was very nice not to have to rent a car while in town for the weekend. You can grab a cab at the airport and they will drop you at the Inn - you pay the tip and the hotel covers the fare.
The Inn features complimentary breakfast and evening appetizers/desserts. They also have a fully stocked bar. My room was clean, neat, and very comfortable. I did have some difficulty adjusting the thermostat, though, and my room seemed to be perpetually toasty. The weather was fairly damp, humid, and rainy and that may have contributed. Speaking of rainy, the Inn does provide complimentary umbrellas for your use during your stay. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating of requests.
The Inn is showing its age a bit (paint, wallpaper, and carpet probably need updating) and I found the vending machines to be very inconvenient and difficult to operate. I would definitely ask a staff member to show you how they work before attempting it on your own. The overall feel of the place is very antique almost Edwardian in a sense - dark wood, floral motifs, brass, etc - it is very charming and cozy. They do have free wi-fi which is a bonus. I would certainly consider staying here again when in town.
