Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 1,684 reviews
A 2-star budget motel in Madison, WI. Guest reviews highlight its low price and proximity to dining and shopping.
Reviews across sites praise the location as a key strength. It's visible from the highway and check-in is quick. Some rooms are clean and remodeled, with friendly staff mentioned repeatedly.
However, cleanliness and safety issues are frequent complaints. Cockroaches, smoke or marijuana smells, thin walls letting in noise are common. Homeless people, drug activity, unlocked exterior doors, broken showers or AC are recurring problems.
Suitable for short stays or budget travelers due to location, but those prioritizing cleanliness and safety should avoid it.
