Liked: Staff & service, amenities
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. My only piece of feedback is our room had lady bugs on the ceiling and house flies everywhere. Other than that, check in/out was smooth and we had no other issues

Nice, clean room. We loved that they offered a shuttle to downtown. Front desk service and shuttle driver were very nice
The property was very on top of room service and did an excellent job with keeping the property clean. Also offers a continental breakfast which was quick and tasty. Overall property was kept clean and offered options to shuttle to downtown Madison.
The room was clean, the staff was professional and courteous. They were very helpful with the elevators when there was an issue with it. The location is awesome as we were attending the Great Wisconsin Quilt Show.
