I have been comimg here for probably 19 years now when in Madison. I have seen the renovations. The before. The after. While the place has contemporary rooms, the best thing about the Inn that has never changed is its brilliant location hence, the pricey rate mentioned in other reviews.
As the name would imply...it overlooks the main square. Not just the city square...but the "State" square actually: the Wisconsin State Capitol is right there and what a beautiful building that is.
Staff is friendly. Quick check-in. 24/7 Shuttle service to/from the airport.
