Very quaint inn with a lot of history. We will definitely be returning. Only downside I’ll mention is we would’ve loved to have the option to open the windows overnight, as it was a bit warm when we returned. We ended up powering on the AC which worked well, but would’ve been great to feel that fresh air off the lake. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie Jan 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort An absolutely beautiful inn.

Will definitely be staying there again! ##### Carrie Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isaac Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing and gorgeous place to stay. The rooms were comfy and clean, and the space is marvelously well restored. Staying in such a historic building is also such a privilege! My only comment would be the breakfast. It has a fairly limited menu (just bagels, scones, coffee) with very few "filling" options. I would've appreciated at least some cereal. I'm more than happy bringing my own food when I stay somewhere, but my room also didn't have a fridge and there isn't a public fridge, so I had nowhere to store perishables. ##### Isaac Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather Oct 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The room on the first floor was small but cozy. The host communicated well how to enter the property and the room. The beds were very comfortable. It was nice to be able to control the temperature in the room. The bathroom was extremely clean. There were no chairs in the room but there was a small bench. Breakfast included scones, fruit and bagels, as well as coffee. Delicious! There is parking in the premise. I highly recommend staying here. ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tastefully done!

Completely comfortable. I had a last-minute trip to Madison. This hotel was near where my friend’s wedding was. It’s completely charming. The house is great, reminded me of a sorority house from college. It’s pretty much a self service place, but the room was comfortable, location was fantastic. If you’re not looking for any special frills, this place does the trick. ##### Liann Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shellie Mar 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My daughter and I had such a great stay at this beautiful and unique inn!

This is a historic building. Formerly the actual Governor’s Mansion. So the room had a historic feel. More expensive than the usual stay, like a Days Inn, but worth it. Halt the price of where I often stay, Madison Concourse. It is within walking distance of the Capital Building and a ton of great restaurants!

The location on Mansion Hill with a view of the lake is very nice. We walked to the capitol area for dining it's about 5 blocks for dining. The Inn has modern heating and air-conditioning but no elevator and vintage bathroom fixtures. The bed was comfortable, the room light and airy with high ceilings. It's the kind of place that travellers who like vintage, like me, would enjoy. ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Mar 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities I stayed in the Garden Studio, which has a private entrance on the back side of the house. The pictures of the suite don't do justice to how large it is; it's probably 900 square feet, including a large bathroom, a kitchenette, a 4-seat table, and a couch area with TV. The king-size bed was wonderful and I slept very well. There is a slight amount of morning noise coming from upstairs but I think it's just the staff putting out the breakfast. I observed no noise whatsoever after dark. ##### Daniel Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Charles Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointed I love the location. And the history! And the scones and coffee are very good. But, two problems. First, the air-conditioning is completely inadequate for the heat and humidity in Madison. The owner should’ve learned that by now and provided stronger air conditioning and fans. Secondly, there was a mysterious buzzing sound. That would’ve kept me awake at night, except that I have a white noise machine. ##### Charles Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Richard Aug 30, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness #### Unfortunately not as clean as we had hoped for. Hi. My daughter and I checked in here for her college move in. I was given a code and room number which was fine and we entered our room no problem. However, I have to write to say the room was not as clean as we'd hoped for. There were hairs on our pillow cases - the sheets had been cleaned but a long hair was still on there. Also, my daughter looked under the bed and she said it was so dirty. I'm sorry, I don't like giving bad reviews but my daughter didn't want to stay there so we immediately checked out and went to the Hilton Garden Inn. I had paid in full a while back so I knew I would not get a refund nor did I even try to email the owners. Also the chandelier above our bed was hanging out of the ceiling by its wires. Another reason why we didn't stay. Sorry for the review but I wanted to be honest. ![Light fitting above bed.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7EE74AB5D68D87BBC434D5D03C76B88E5CE6693C1693412841387.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Upon check in](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8885BD33260B63294F45BF3DAD11B8F232698BB31693412857220.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4B4F4E7C7DA7DE42DE2AEFECD9778A10DBE24C521693412872327.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Dec 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities David was very helpful, and he allowed us to use their microwave in the kitchenette!
