Both times I visited Madison I stayed at this hotel. First time around was about two years ago during a University of Wisconsin interview. At this time they were renovating. The staff were highly accommodating, the hotel was very clean, an the free breakfast was very nice (much nicer than other continental breakfasts I have experienced).
More recently, I stayed at this hotel while travelling to a wedding. The renovation turned out great with a modern sleek feel and the hotel now contains a restaurant. The free breakfast is still provided and still very nice. The rooms are just as clean and sleek as I remembered, and the staff are also kind.
