Madison Wayside Tours and Activities

Please don’t

Excellent front desk staff. Check in was a breeze. Friendly gentleman at the font desk. Location excellent - quick walk from the train station. Restaurant/pub that's attached is crowded and overbooked. I was told it would be 40 minutes before they could seat me and I'm just one person. I did notice some other folks were seated right away when they came in but they were couples not solo travelers so maybe they don't like solo people there? I don't know. I went to a french bistro instead at the Sonesta and it was excellent. For breakfast - same restaurant - no espresso or lattes. For that, you have to go to the cafe around the corner which I recommend for breakfast in general - literally called Corner Cafe. But the room was nice - no complaints there. Cleaning staff did just enter my room at 8AM sharp to clean so make sure you hang the sign on the door telling them not to come in. I kept yelling saying "don't come in, I'm not dressed" but they came in anyways. They need the visual sign. If I come again I might try the Sonesta, It's more expensive but the restaurant and staff when I was over there are excellent and there's an espresso machine on site. We'll see. I mean, I was fine here but...the restaurant didn't sit right with me so... :)
