Terrific modest accommodations
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/12/07
We stayed at the Lowell Center while visiting Madison with a potential student. Although we haven't seen the lobby renovations, when we stayed there it was something like a dorm, with admittedly modest appearance, but we liked everything about it. The staff was extremely helpful, kept our bags for us when the room wasn't ready. We had a ton to see on campus, and it was very convenient. Very close to the admissions for an early appointment, and easy walking to the wonderful restaurants on State Street, and for the bus back to Chicago. We are going back there to deliver my son in the Fall of 2007, so we feel it was a good luck sort of place. Although it is not elegant shmelegant, it's affordable rates may permit us to visit more often, and spend more on delicious meals with our son and his new friends. The breakfast, by the way gave you every choice possible from the Dairy State, and made us feel very welcome with home made waffles and strawberries.
