Marriot is usually my top choice when traveling for business so it was nice to see that Marriot had a Courtyard property right across the highway from my Madison office.
I arrived rather late thanks to some sub zero weather delays, however it was nice to be able to checkin and grab a quick bite to eat at the bistro in the lobby. Selection is limited, however its very convenient. I didn't have much of an opportunity to checkout the outside courtyard due to the snow and extreme cold however it looked like it would provide a great area to relax after a busy day.
Overall all the interior hotel property was clean, with a nice comfortable room. The room itself offered me enough room to spread out. Complete with a workspace, sofa, 32" flat screen tv and a mini fridge. The bathroom was average size, however not too small where you would feel cramped. The staff here was great, from check in to check out and even dining at the bistro everyone went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable.
I already have to return to Madison in a few weeks and have already booked by return trip at this very same hotel. One complaint I did have was staying on the rear of the hotel is that the garbage pickup provided a nice wakeup call between 6-6:30am twice during my 4 night stay.
