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!

The location of this hotel is unbeatable. You are within an easy walking distance to the capital, the square, etc., but you don’t need to worry about parking. The rooms are gorgeous and spacious.

It is just magical to stay at this enchanting hotel that takes you back to a glorious bygone era. The antiques throughout, including sitting areas and two person hammered copper tubs make one feel very pampered at a price similar to the chain hotels. The property had a pub on the ground floor with live bands nightly. Next door, in the same parking lot, is a casual German restaurant with an outdoor beer garden. Next to that is a pub that has outdoor sand volleyball, occasional karaoke and the best fish fry, offered every night, than I’ve had in decades. The location is just a short walk to a beach on the lake and the neighborhood appeared to be very safe. I found the least expensive rate on Expedia. I have already booked my return visit.

I was very impressed with the hotel- excellent value for money and good location. This is a hsitorical hotel. Does feel dated but has charm. Maybe needs a little more TLC. Howver, the room and bathroom are updated and very comfortable. The quality of the bedding was superb. My bathroom was spacious and the towels full and fluffy. The included full breakfast is more than generous and excellent (great Chef). Breakfast s served in the adjoining German/Bavarian beer haus. Very authentic building- great atmosphere. Wish I had gone to this brewery rather than the brewery I stopped at Saturday night:( There are not many good hotel choices in downtown Madison. I would stay here again.

Its a quiet cozy place great staff and great breakfast. Would reccomend for sure. Jas an elevator to get to rooms easily. Its very dated in decor but it was built in 1873 or at least thats when it was first licensed as a hotel. Very beautiful historic building

Cute Queens Victorian hotel. Not your average chain. With everything being uniform. You got free parking, the music venue isn't within walking distance and there are a couple of restaurants/ bars attached and the hotel provides you with a free drink for happy hour and a free breakfast in the morning at the restaurant. We were very impressed and will definitely be back

What a gem of a place. Wonderful staff who feel like friends. History and charm blended with some modern upgrades. Comfortable bed. Hot hot water in the shower. And coupons for breakfast at the hotel’s Roseline’s Cafe and at the ComeBackIn nearby- which has excellent food. I’ve already booked for my next visits in Madison.
