7/10 Good! (786 reviews)
I'm not picky. It's a place to lay my head. It's clean and safe. It could be so much worse but for the price it's fair. Nothing fancy but I'm okay and my favorite part is pets stay free.

Great hotel with amazing views of the Capitol. Attached to Monona Terrace. Only drawback is parking. Ramp down to the lowest levels. Tight spaces and one night had to park in the last space that was tiny.
