Hotels in Madison are not cheap and there aren't any that are "great." But the BW is very good value for the money. It's right across the street from the Capitol and walking distance to many great restaurants. State St is just a couple of blocks away if you want a more "college" atmosphere. The rooms are clean and functional and the parking is free. The staff is attentive to issues (there were 2 but both were caused by inconsiderate guests...not the hotel) and helpful. The bar and restaurant aren't that great but there are SO many other options within a couple block radius. I would stay here again.
