Property was easy to find and in a good location to access entertainment venues and dining options in the area. The check in was very easy. Hotel staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. Very clean lobby and my room was comfortable. No complaints.

This is a nice place -- I've stayed here many times over the years. But be warned if you're nervous about COVID. They have "masks required" signs posted everywhere, but during my last stay, it seemed pretty crowded, and I didn't see any guest the halls, elevators, or filling the lobby wearing a mask. The staff weren't saying anything (and I doubt they're paid enough to court confrontation). It seemed very much like this is a place that's no-mask-friendly. If that's your thing, you won't be hassled. If you're intent on staying somewhere that takes that stuff seriously (like if you're immunocompromised), other hotels in Madison will likely be safer for you.

The lemon ice water and the cleanliness of the lobby really made a nice impression.
