The balcony view was great. Beds were comfortable. Room was very clean. Would have loved to have more time to see Madison as looked liked a great place to shop, eat and relax. The riverfont looked so inviting and the architecture would have been so much fun to explore. Going to ry and make it back there and spend some time.

Really nice view of downtown. We were on the 3rd floor and could see the span of the town and were able to watch the sunset. Enjoyed the covered patio with a table and 2 chairs. The hotel itself is extremely dated, but it is what we expected. Breakfast was food-service style standard hot continental breakfast, which we didn't eat. (Coffee was instant..or just really not good. We couldn't figure it out.) Loved the queen room with the jetted tub. Also loved the Gilchrest and Soames soap/lotion. Would we stay here again? Yes. Is it worth a Saturday night stay at $195/night (including taxes)? No, but it was convenient access to the town.

Relaxing stay

We had a relaxing stay. Comfortable beds & pillows. Breakfast was good with plenty of options. The view from the balcony was amazing & just very relaxing. Even though the hotel is old, it is in good condition & has a feel of history & luxury. The staff was friendly & helpful.

Magnificent

The breakfast was really not that bad for a continental breakfast. I thought the potatoes amd sausage were very yummy. The bed was very comfortable. I slept like a sack of potatoes. Also, the room was nice and quiet and private.
