I booked a room last minute for 1 night on a recent Friday, arriving around 8 pm on a Friday night. The check in process was quick and easy. I was assigned a room with two queen beds on the third floor. The room was at the far end of the hotel (my favorite-usually more quiet), and the beds were great with a variety of foam pillows.
The bathroom, while a bit small, had a shower with plenty of water pressure and hot water and a large sink and counter. There also was a small refrigerator and microwave.
They've got a nice lobby with a bar. There wasn't anything going on so I stopped and had a drink - Old Fashioned (the really make them well in Wisconsin and this one was well made). The young bartender was very personable and efficient. He did a good job making me feel welcome.
I'd definitely stay there again when next I'm in Madison. Good price and comfy, welcoming environment.
