| - My wife and I travel to Madison on the University's dime several times a year. This time we were put up at the Lowell Center. Yes, the rooms are reminiscent of a dorm room. Our room was perfect for one person and adequate for two. The location is perfect, close to State Street and the University. The room was warm when we checked in. Due to some reviews referring to the lack of climate controls, I was surprised to find a thermostat. Set it to 70 degrees and went out for supper. The room was a perfect temperature when we returned. The room (601) was quiet; and the bed was most comfortable. The room included a coffee maker, an ironing board and a refrigerator. Breakfast is served on the lowest floor; and it was really good. There was a young lady who cooked your eggs how you want them. There was fresh fruit and a waffle station, and a couple of juice choices. My wife said the coffee was good (she is a bit of a coffee snob); and they had a great assortment of tea (yes, I'm a tea snob). For once the tea drinkers get their due! All in all a very nice breakfast set up.
We were lucky enough to score a spot in their limited parking lot right behind the hotel.
Just two suggestions...They might want to find another vender for their shampoos and body lotion. They were so full of perfume scent that it stuck with you for days. They were so strong smelling, I would call it a stench. Ditch the gas station toilet paper...'nuf said.
Modestly priced, clean, great location, good breakfast, comfortable room, and screaming fast WiFi. Not to mention a very friendly and helpful staff, made our stay a genuine pleasure. Definitely, we would gladly stay here again.
