We have stayed there twice and unfortunately both times the water ran brown in the bath in our room. On the second visit, the HVAC was making a loud rattling sound every few minutes, an engineer tried to fix it but the tape he put over the panel that was rattling fell off 10min after he left. I had to wedge a pillow over the panel or it would be too loud to sleep

Dear GwenWe will follow up right away. Thank you so much for the information. This should not be happening (the HVAC noise).In regards to the water, that's a bit harder to control depending on downtown construction. We value your feedback and do hope to have you back with us in the future.

Live music in the bar on Friday night. Bartenders were amazing. Staff was helpful and very friendly. The entire building is very clean and quiet. Great downtown location. So many walkable venues and dining options. Not to mentionnthe great view of the Capitol. Would stay again.

Great stay and feels like it was recently updated. We did have some loud neighbors above us but that can’t be helped by the hotel. Only suggestion is better pillows please. Other than that, the room was lovely and nicely sized and great view of the Capitol!

Efficient staff at the front desk. The bar was open for dining until 10pm in the middle of the week which was convenient. The hotel is clean and safe. The bathrooms are dated but much of the hotel has been updated. The Starbucks right off the lobby is a great perk too. I left my laptop in my room and they put in secure storage. I appreciate the trustworthiness.

Aesthetically pleasing hotel experience, it does have its downsides if you’re looking to get more out of a hotel than just a bed to sleep in. No complimentary breakfast, hot tub was over chlorinated and dirty, pool will give you a chill. The bar/restaurant was dead on a Saturday night, most likely due to Madison having so many other options for dining/entertainment. Room service breakfast was punctual but the food was subpar for the price. When I stay in Madison again, I can say that I would look around for other options for the price point of this hotel. Perhaps the governors club portion is where this hotel shines, however I didn’t think that double the price was worth the upgrade.

Thank you for your feedback, Brandon. Please rest assured our pool and hot tub chemical level are monitored and tested several times a day and fall within the safety level.
