Service excellence, staff were all friendly and helpful, adequate stay for the price. Much older hotel, and low price so you get whatcha get along with that. But we were happy to save and make do.

It was a good place to stay for 1 night. I doubt we would stay multiple nights. The shower head wasn’t tall enough for my husband’s height. The bed was decent. The room could use an update but overall we would stay here when we just need a night in Madison.

The room was acceptable for an economy stay. The room was clean, however it was very out of date. The bed was simply not comfy, we did not sleep well. The workers were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was acceptable, nothing to write home about.

We travel with a pet, so you never know what to expect in a room, but our unit was clean with absolutely no odor from previous pets. There were a few repairs needed but minor things like patching ceiling post previous water damage. The only thing I missed was a hair dryer but would probably been given one had I bothered to ask. Beds were comfortable and price was very reasonable even with $25 pet fee. Would stay again.

One of the best valued lodging in Madison, Indiana. The staff were all outstanding. We were totally surprised that the room service was performed on the daily basis. We will stay here again if we pass by the area.

This was one of the few rooms left in town for Madison Regatta 2026. Pretty standard for a pet friendly hotel, we were traveling without our dog, definitely in need of a massive remodel. Front desk had a left over Covid glass in place, so communication required asking for repeats at loud volumes coupled with several middle eastern accents it was frustrating to try and communicate. Enclosed pool was not vented nor air conditioned, it was stifling to even walk in the door. Lots of trash in weight room and pool area. Room was old, threadbare, dirty crevices throughout, with a noisy AC that cycled constantly, which turned out to be a plus to drown out most of the parking lot/highway noise. Definitely not worth the money, but we didn't really have a choice. Next time I'll bite the bullet, reserve 6 months early, and stay at Riverboat Inn or the horribly overpriced Fairfield by Marriot on the river.
