1) Dog friendly hotel. So many of the hotels in Madison are either low rent or charge an arm and a leg per night per pet. No pet fees with La Quinta and their is ample grassy areas to walk the dogs.
2) The place looks fairly new and well kept. It was close to everywhere we needed to be and the rooms were clean and well kept.
3) Beds were a little hard for my taste but that is a personal preference
4) Bright side breakfast - other La Quinta offer eggs and sausage in their breakfast, but not here. Just cereal and assorted fluff.
5) there is a bar! Never stayed at a La Quinta with a bar - was a nice amenity
6) The only big negative from our stay was the unfriendly staff. Everyone seemed to be in a bad mood and rude. It caught me off guard a bit.
