We went to the alliant center for the garden show. We were shuttled back and forth for the two day event and bonus we were shuttled to a restaurant for dinner as long as it was within 3 miles. Absolutely wonderful

The room was super spacious and clean! The front desk staff was fantastic and the location was great. The fitness center had a peloton amongst other equipment, which was a nice surprise! The kids loved the pool and they reported that the continental breakfast was excellent :)

Overall pleasant stay
The hotel was nice, great service, and great breakfast. We got the room with the two queens and the sofa bed suite to sleep 6. It was very spacious, however the only con was the sofa bed was a twin pull out size not a full or queen. It was also terribly uncomfortable. The beds were comfortable. So to sleep six, I would have brought a big air mattress rather than use the sofa bed

Great hospitality!
We were in town to see the UW vs Oregon game and really enjoyed taking the shuttle to and from the game! Everything about the hotel was accommodating from the very friendly staff and the amazing Manager, Sandy who had lots of great recommendations for things to do in the area. Thank you Sandy and staff for helping to make our first trip to Madison a memorable one!
