Hotel definitely needs a face lift. But for the price... It's a quiet and comfortable place to stay. I was a little disappointed how freezing cold the pool was. My 3 yr old had blue lips and was shivering after 10 min in the pool. We had a good nights rest and the breakfast was yum (eggs, sausage, waffles,etc).... Lots to choose from. I also liked that they had a little store stocked with snacks and inexpensive beer and wine to choose from (very innovative to offer)! I also liked the fact where the hotel was located. Very convenient to shops and a few miles from the capital. If we return to Madison I would stay here again.
