There was plenty of surface lot for free parking, which always makes things easier.\n\nRoom: Bedroom was unremarkable. Bathroom was a bit small. I did find some stray hair in the washcloth in the bathroom, which I found to be disturbing at a SPG hotel... Otherwise, a very comfortable, clean room. I stayed on the club flood and used the club lounge in the morning for \"breakfast\"... It was just fruits, cereal, and pastries... If you're looking for a hot breakfast, the club lounge won't do anything for you. \n\nCheck-out: again, a breeze. Starbucks in the lobby is a plus. \n\nFood: Eat before you come out to this hotel... Room service menu isn't very impressive. I went downstairs to the restaurant at 8:30 PM for something- it's typical bar food. Even the bartender doesn't want you to order food because she knows how terrible it is! \n\nMisc: the only starwood hotel in Madison. It's doable for your loyalty points. It's very close to the highway, so it's very easy and convenient to just hop on to get to wherever you need to go. It shaves 10 minutes of driving through the crazy one-ways of downtown Madison from some of the other hotels."^^ . "2"^^ . . "0"^^ . "1"^^ .
