A wood building over 100 years old is quite an experience. So many creaks and groans, almost haunted. Did not really know what to expect, but truly enjoyed seeing how they lived over 100 years ago.

Odd but okay
This is an unusual place to stay, but staff are quite friendly. We appreciated the complementary $10 cards for the Timberline Cafe. Very creaky floors and doors and the stairs are not meant for anyone with limited mobility.

We wished we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the hotel and the surrounding town. The lobby area is so fun and the gift shop is the best in town. We appreciated the hot water/coffee/tea/chocolate service, the ice, and the use of the refrigerator/freezer very much!! The restaurant next door, Timberline, was decent - salad bar and pies!! The little coffee stand was delicious and had huckleberry ice cream!

Note that when selecting a room at the Madison Hotel, that choosing the tv and fridge option puts you in the motel portion of the property, in the back, next to an alley. The room was clean (most important), but very small and a bit rough. Parking is tight. If you're traveling in an RV, forget about it. Those use to marriott's will be disappointed, but the historic lobby is worth a look.

I is 111 years old. It has an unusual history as an inn that is so old it had one time used chamber pots. Great living room with full bison, elk, moose and deer heads. Very unusual upstairs. The front stairs looks down on office and living room with an open stairway with railing fronting the rooms as a hallway. Free coffee, cocoa and French Vanilla Cappuccino.
