Location is super loud. False fire alarm at 1am. Room next to me partied until 5 am. Had an 11am check-out yet housekeeping banging on the door at 9:30am. Literally got zero sleep and yet had to drive 4 hours the next day. It was awful.

I think that my review for this hotel was posted in my review for the Best Western Park Hotel. So the place is old but it is updated. Lucia from the front desk was awesome. We were welcome with warm cookies and smiles. The place is clean and tidy. They may need to work on changing their doors and bracebridge as well as their ceilings. It is what is making the place tied to the old building. Parking was a breeze. A pool would be great. It was otherwise a great stay.

Upon checking out, I was told that I was being billed $20/night for parking. This fee was waved as I hadn’t been told about the fee upon checking in. Some construction in the area so needed to walk around those areas. Close to the capital & farmers market. Easy walking to UW campus, lake and restaurants.
