We thoroughly enjoyed staying on the grounds near the Ohio River. The band playing on the balcony was very entertaining and played just until 10 pm allowing for a quiet night of sleep. The spacious grounds were well manicured and the staff was very friendly.

The furnished patio is not private! You share it with every single room on the 2nd floor. it is not stated in description. Our neighbors took over everything and then decided to sit right outside our door at 715am talking loudly. The hotel itself is good but no privacy was had!!

We love this Inn. This was our second visit, but I won't book through Expedia again. The rate was much higher than if we had booked direct. The people at the Inn are very nice and personable and there is a nice little bar in the lobby with outdoor seating. The rooms are clean and decorated nicely. Thank you for another nice visit.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This is a basic hotel, nothing exceptional about it. When I arrived, I was met by two young ladies at the desk, one possibly being trained, who were friendly, but failed to provide me a Wi-fi password, that later required another trip to the front desk to retrieve one as I found the room had no telephone. This also did away with the chance of an Early Wake-up Call the next morning. My room front door also had a gap underneath it, so large that sunlight could easily be seen. If this had been an internal room hotel, I could understand it. But, because of this, the next morning my room floor had seven or eight beetle type bugs roaming around by the bed area. For the price, I expected more and unless no other options are available, wouldn't return to this provider.

Such a jewel. We love the town of Madison and this hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The staff is amazing. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. It was really nice the pool was still open and clean. It is very convenient to shops, restaurants and the river. They have a shuttle that takes whatever you want and picks you up.

The staff was great… it was very very clean… View was incredible if you can get a Riverview… Make sure you know what building you are going to be put in. There’s the main one with the bar where all the action is and then there’s one close by that is also theirs, but they show you back-and-forth in a golf cart if you want. We had entertainment on the weekend and the breakfast was certainly sufficient.
