Very MARGINAL (but bed ok)

As a single male traveler, I can put up with a lot in order to save. The GOOD: Comfy bed, clean room. The BAD: Very smelly hallway from deodorants , old place not kept up, NOISY, very thin walls, sterile hallways (nice floors however), thin/scratchy towels. They did NOT honor either of the two billboard discount rates. I would have gone elsewhere, but other places were full, or a lot more money. For a $ more, go elsewhere! As the lowest priced place in the area, it obviously attracts the low-price clients, who were hanging out in the hallways and outside. Marginal place. If you are savvy enough to be reading this review, you can find a better place. I stayed here in June 2009. NO INTERNET ACCESS.

The map given for the hotel was off, so I had to call the place to get directions. The associate spoke horrible english and didn't know any of the main roads around Madison. Once I found the hotel it took 15 min. to get my key, because she didn't know how to pull a reservation. We entered the hotel room to find that they are not heated. You have to flip a switch and adjust the tiny heater in the room. It took 3 hours to heat, then we woke up in the night cause it was then too hot. The curtains had cigerette burns, carpet smelled of urine, and the beds didn't have fitted sheets. The place is run down and I can't recommend it to anybody. I would accept the place at a 20-25 dollar rate, it was just terrible.
Not up to online travel standards

Pedestrian renovation of older motel. Access was confusing, with no signage. Took me two 189 degree turns to understand the the sign reading "No Exit" was the entrance to the facility. Room was dark and depressing, with only a shower; couldn't even a take hot soaking tub bath to relieve the weariness of a long day's travel. First lodging disappointment I've experienced in years of online travel. CF
Not bad

You get what you pay for. It really wasn't that bad - basically what I expected. The only major con is that it is DOWNWIND of the landfill. I was in the pool for about ten minutes before the smell was too overwhelming. Other than that it was worth it for the price.
I'll go elsewhere...

This hotel wasn't completely skuzzy, but the whole place smelled really icky, the linens were old and cruddy, the bathroom kept flooding and we could hear every screaming child (and there were a lot) through the paper-thin walls. I won't be back.
