Madison

This was a very nice hotel located in a perfect neighborhood in Madison. The reception desk was efficient and quick. The valet parking was very accommodating and was able to accommodate our truck with a trailer. It was a great location to either eat in the restaurant in the hotel or walk to the downtown area, which was very nearby. The hotel room was first class large very well-maintained and very modern. I will definitely stay here again.
