What else can you say about the cutest hotel in Madison!? As the desk clerk said, "It's a 19th century hotel." The staff is excellent, it's a perfect walking distance to anywhere you want to walk to...parking is easy and convenient...they provide breakfast every day, and during weekends it is at the restaurant next door! I've stayed here a few times, and will most assuredly be staying here again.

Our room, #16, is triangular. Unusual, but nicely furnished and cozy. We didn't hear any music from Essen Haus, but the hotel supplied earplugs, just in case. The breakfast at Come Back In was wonderful! Delicious eggs benedict and fried potatoes.

Very nice stuff, helpful and caring. Room was good and shower was just wonderful. This place had its own history and beauty. It was kind of loud at night when trains were passing by so probably taking the room that looked on the other side would help, as long as it was not above the restaurant. Wi-Fi was good enough. It was hot breakfast with potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon, coffee included that was very nice. Place had own free parking that was very convenient.

Super friendly staff:) Our room was clean and comfortable. It is near a few bars which makes it loud at night, but they are so thoughtful and provide earplugs next to the bed. Parking was right behind the building. The charm was worth it rather than staying at a Hilton or Hyatt:)

Breakfast was great, but the area and kitchen where you eat could use some attention. I think a forewarning for the trains overnight would have been helpful, yes, I know that there is a track directly in front of the hotel but a heads up would be great. Need some attention to address the spiders near the windows. I was not a fan. also, if you’re changing up a room that you specifically book, that should be stated when you check in. especially when you have to book a specific room.

This is an old hotel that has been kept up. It is clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the food complex that is nearby. There were 4 different places to eat under the hotel. We received drink tickets and breakfast tickets. It made staying close easy. The nearby lake walk to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Convention Center was lovely, too.

Unique building in a historical area of Madison. Got to speak with the owner about the history of the property. Great location in Madison. A picky wish would be for the room could use more strategically placed outlets for charging devices. A hidden gem. We will go back.

Lovely old hotel with high ceilings, antique furniture and a fireplace. It even had a huge copper bathtub! I was upgraded to a very spacious room. I had a slice of the best bacon of my life at breakfast! It is across the street from a railroad crossing and a busy street so don’t expect a silent night!
