Don't let the exterior or offbeat location fool you. A family-run motel. Freshly remodeled rooms. Clean. Quiet. Plenty of parking. Daily room cleaning. Light breakfast (cereals, fruit, juice, milk, toast, tea & coffee) every morning. Perfect for a short 3-4 day stay on business or a local visit.
Don't expect white-glove service, airy posh spaces, or high-end decor - it's utilitarian. Not ideal for families, but perfect for a couple or 1-2 business travelers needing a place to sleep, not lounge.
If you're looking for an affordable place to rest at night while you spend a few days around Madison, this is perfect. If you're looking for a vacation-style stay, this may not be for you.
The Value Stay Mayflower doesn't oversell itself; You get what you pay for. It is economical, clean, well-maintained, and quiet, with a friendly staff. Overall, 4 of 5 stars.
