Pros:

The hotel was very warm and clean, very comfortable . we had stayed in two hotels in monona which were not as good. We travel to the area to see our daughter and her family . They have recently moved to this area. It looked like there was a wonderful breakfast and dining area but unfortunately we had to depart at 6am All good.

No hot tub!
Pros:

Staff there is great! They are extremely helpful. My biggest complaint is they had a great hot tub in the pool area that was one of the things me and my family looked forward to every time we stayed there. Not to long ago they did a remodel or refresh. Everything looks great. But they decided to get rid of the hot tub. Very big disappointment!

Had to switch rooms mold and next to drive through
Pros:

Overall, I would not stay here again. My first room had mold, and the replacement room smelled like smoke. After switching again, I ended up in a room next to the drive thru, which was noisy. The hotel was undergoing renovations during my stay, so that may have contributed to some of the issues, but my experience was disappointing overall.

Comfortable and clean!
Pros:

I believe this hotel just got remodeled and new owner possibly? It felt fresh and new. The rooms were really stripped down with only a microwave and fridge but no coffee maker (one in the lobby but you have to leave your room) nor was there a radio/alarm clock. Otherwise clean and comfortable beds. I think these were new too at least they didnt sag at all. Nice down pillows and the air conditioner worked great. New showerheads and nice water pressure for showering! Breakfast was good and hot. The exercise room was not available as that was getting new equipment. The pool was open but was getting renovations also. Thanks for the great stay.

Cons:

That there was no coffee brewer in room. Keurig coffee makers would be nice so folks can brew their own brand.
