. "I have stayed in Madison several times, but this was my first time staying at the Courtyard in Middleton. Overall, I really liked this hotel and how it focused on the important amenities. I had a room on the end of the hall and it might have been a slightly unusal setup, because I had a stand-up shower instead of a tub. The room is extremely functional. There is a C-shaped table that slides while you are seated on the sofa and is the perfect size for holding a laptop. If you need more space, you can roll out a pretty large desk. The TV has an adjustable viewing angle and you can watch TV from your sofa or your bed. The room also has a mini-closet, ironing board, fridge & coffee maker. There are tons of outlet plugs everywhere, including a very cleverly-mounted one built into the lights near the bed.\n\nEven though the hotel was booked to capacity, it never felt crowded. That's because the common areas are extremely large and comfortable. The cafe serves breakfast and dinner, with a large seating area. There was also a lounge with tons of sofas, tables and a self-service business center. There is a small pantry with drinks, any toiletries that you may have forgotten & ice cream for sale.\n\nThere are a quite a few places within walking distance for dinner. Those are all adquately covered here on Yelp, so I'm not going to get into that. However, I did have a very pleasant stay here, so that merits a 4-star review!"^^ . "2014-09-22T00:00:00"^^ . "2"^^ .
