I'm traveling to Madison regularly for work, and this is my home away from home. Great area with lots of restaurants within walking distance, and it's right by the lakeside bike and walking path. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room is comfortable and the decor is charming, making it feel more homey than a sterile modern hotel. The breakfast is basic but good and had exactly what i need, with eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes, yogurt, fruit, coffee, and coco flan. The bar a couple doors down has live music most nights but it is over by 9 or 10pm (at least on wreknights) and it's very quiet afterwards. The heating/AC system is somewhat outdated but works well enough for me. I'll definitely be coming back on my next trip.
