This was one of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in this year. I feel even the more upscale hotels have started cutting corners when it comes to cleanliness and customer service. This establishment hit the nail on the head with their overall appearance and customer service. From check in to check out, we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely choose this hotel again. It's also kid friendly.

Good location right off I90. Starbucks, McDs, Culvers, Kwik Trip conveniently nearby. At the time we stayed the breakfast and elevator area was under renovation. Breakfast was moved to the meeting room...which really wasn't an issue at all. A lot of decent breakfast options: pancakes, sausage, eggs, cinn rolls, etc... Rooms for us were quiet, clean and seemed recently renovated. Bathroom was very small with just toilet and shower. Sink is by the door as you walk in the room. Other than the renovations in the lobby/breakfast area to deal with this hotel was a pleasant stay for us. It was a good spot to stay north of Madison for us to head towards MN the next morning.
