Clean and comfortable.
Pros:

I didn't eat the breakfast. I wanted to get going and the light breakfast options didn't interest me. The rooms were exceptionally clean and the staff was very nice. Good restaurants within walking distance.

Cons:

The breakfast options weren't interesting to me, but they weren't bad. I'm a diabetic and I decided to get a sit down breakfast. The breakfast option was on par with most hotels I've stayed at though.

Overall it is "Good"
Pros:

It was okay, but if it is possible I would like to have more warm breakfast.
for example ; egg scramble and sausages etc.
Thanks for fresh coffee.

Cons:

If I had one more chair in the room from begining, it would be better.Overall

Really a nice surprise!
Pros:

Very kind and helpful staff. New and clean place.

Not in the prettiest part of town, but access to Madison is fairly easy. It’s about 4 miles or 15-20 minutes by Uber (upon pickup) to downtown or campus.

Hotel has a bright feel with lots of windows and an aquamarine paint palette for wall coloring. The carpet pleasingly matches. Super simple but ultra comfortable room. I wanted to stay in bed for two more hours. Nice bath. My fave: no shower curtain (that’s always a big plus). Double shades on the window: one for blackout, one for artistic opacity.

Breakfast isn’t overdone and isn’t full of gross choices. Instead it’s good coffee, some fruit, granola bars, and breakfast sandwiches. Nothing fancy, but nothing that’ll yield a coronary either. Just simplicity that incurs a touch of elegance. It does use an amount of once-used stuff for immediate throw away though. Not sure I’d count on the hotel for a full-scale protein breakfast, but it offers a decent jump start.

There’s a good bar and coffee shop nearby too.

Pros:

Check in staff was though and friendly. Made us feel comfortable and didn’t go overboard.

The breakfast attendant kept the breakfast buffet 100% stocked and picture perfect clean. While it was typical buffet offerings, since it was so appealingly displayed it really seemed to taste better. The attendant deserves an atta boy.

All the staff were very personable. Keep doing what you are doing.
