I was very disappointed in the accommodations for our stay. The photos of the lobby are nice but misrepresent the rooms which were very small. The toilet sits 6 inches from the tub and one person in the bathroom at a time, very annoying when trying to get ready and share. For the marble sinks nothing but cheap plastic imitations.... More

Visitng Madison for my daughter's birthday....this hotel is literally 1/2 block off of State Street. My daughter and her fiancee were able to park in the underground lot au gratis while we walked up to the square, had dinner, etc. The updated, vintage look is beautiful. Rooms are small....but when you're in Mad Town who plans on spending most of... More

I have been staying in this hotel for 30 years - going back to before its renovation. They spent a fortune in a refurbishing that took several years as they would close only a floor at a time. The rooms are a bit small as they did not knock down any walls, but the surfaces are all very nice -... More

This hotel was a great find. The location is perfect - right off State Street, a few minutes walk to downtown, campus, and Lake Mendota. The rooms are very cozy, the beds are very comfy, though the bathroom was tiny. They also offer complimentary happy hour snacks (cheese curds, sausage, pretzel platter) and breakfast, though we decided to go out... More

If you are traveling to Madison, Wisconsin, you need to think twice before you book at the Campus Inn on Langdon Street. This is a hotel badly in need of renovation. It is a bit of a bait-n-switch: the lobby is charming, dark woods, pretty sofas, a lovely bar area. Unfortunately, the rooms are nothing like the lobby. We had... More

After booking at the Holiday Inn, where I was quoted a rather outrageous price without even any breakfast included, we came across The Campus Inn through one of our colleagues. We cancelled our other reservation and are very pleased that we did. The Campus Inn has a cozy, intimate, and warm setting with lovely accents throughout, although the abundance of... More

I returned to the Madison area recently for a combined business and pleasure trip and stayed at the Campus Inn. Given the generic name, I didn't expect much but was I ever wrong. What a great hotel!

I'm actually writing this before the end of the trip. I have enjoyed the pre-paid transportation with a taxi company from the airport, and expect the return to be equally good. Breakfast has been adequate, the room is very comfortable, with good television and free wireless internet in the room. My request for firmer pillows was filled easily. So far... More
