Madison

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The rooms look nothing like the pictures, the outside door to get in the building where the rooms were, was broken and not secure or safe feeling. I had to hip check the door to our room to get it to open, the room smelled musty, tv wouldn’t work, and we were not made aware that our room was a joining room with a stranger. Walls were paper thin and you could hear everything. The plug in had white stuff all over it. Property did not feel safe or secure. The tub/shower was also very outdated. We ended up loosing all our money and booking a different hotel. Definitely needs a lot of updating, and a good cleaning. For the price we paid for the room, we were very unsatisfied.

Usually stay at another hotel when I pass through but they were full so came here. Check in desk was friendly and easy. Directed me to wine store and showed me where room was in map. Although an older hotel, it was clean and had everything I needed. Felt safe there, very quiet and bed was comfortable. Slept well then in morning had a nice continental breakfast including biscuits and gravy,(which surprised me being NY state)sausage, scrambled eggs and yogurts, even waffles. Staff were friendly.

This place should be leveled. I have never stayed in a $224+ room that was so dirty and disgusting. You had to walk outside to get to your room and the hallway was 100 degrees. Breakfast was horrible.

Difficult to get a hold of anyone at the front des

Service was very slow at the front desk. Stood there for over 10 minutes before somebody finally came. It was like that every time we had to go to the front desk and they did not answer their phone. TV was broken. We had three rooms one room’s keys did not work. Rooms were average. Breakfast was good and more staff were available in the morning.
