Me and my girlfriend stayed here twice in 2011. Our first stay was two nights in April, and the other was a last minute one night stay in late August. The inside of the this place (hallways, lobby, etc.) is like looking into a time capsule. I don't know what everyone else thinks but I like the retro styling. It... More

I was forced to stay almost an hour away from Madison because of the football game and I am glad I did. What a wonderful place to stay. This is old school. From the delightful Check-in service to the fresh room my stay was great. This Motel is conveniently located minutes from both I 39 and downtown Portage it is... More

Not all of the rooms have been remodeled. Booked two rooms for an overnight stay. Both rooms had old, wet smells. Stay as a last resort. This hotel will not be my first choice in the future.

The room was like a luxury apartment. It included kitchen area, separate living room, 2 large tvs. It was very tastefully decorated and excellent coffee around the clock This hotel also had a gym and a beautiful, well kept pool.. Restaurants, Wall Mart, K mart, Staples, and more were all within walking distance. I will definitely be back

We went onour annual motorcycle ride and ended up at the "Inn". From the outside I was a little worried but once inside you could see that it has been remodeled. 60 of us all checked smoothly and went on our way to only meet up at the lounge bar. The bartendar treated poorly so one person in our group... More

The restraunt had great food and very good ribs. During breakfast the service was great and friendly, and had great varieties of breakfast meals that were... More

If you expect a red carpet and a chocolate on your pillow, go elsewhere but if your tastes lie in a cheaper, no-nonsense approach, this hotel is fine. It could probably use a renovation and the last time I was there, buckets in the hallway were catching water from a leaky roof but the restaurant was nice and the staff,... More

This hotel is very basic, but also very cheap. The whole place probably needs remodeled, but its fine for the price. The hotel staff is friendly. Sometimes the heat doesn't work the best, and the room doors are very loud. There is a decent restaurant inside the hotel, and a very nice indoor heated pool and jacuzzi tub. Its not... More
