  • Overall a good stay
    By You tell me, 08/26/09
    Easy check-in, good internet connection, bed was not too small, no bed bugs, carpet was clean, bathroom was clean, did not smell bad, helpful staff, lent us a screwdriver that we needed to fix something, allowed us to push our check out time from 11 to noon, lobby seemed very fancy, includes pool and sauna, and continental breakfast which was okay, nothing exceptional

    The location is great for those visiting UW Madison. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. Nice free hot breakfast in the morning, with complimentary WIFI and parking

  • mixed feelings
    By Amberg, 09/07/08
    I reserved 2 double bed room, confirmed twice, the last time two days before our arrival. Next day they call to say reserved room not available, I had already canceled another hotel. Apology was minimal, did get a reduced rate when I pushed a little. Breakfast buffet was nearly gone when we arrived, a few minutes later staff seen running back in ...

  • Great Value and Location
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/13/08
    I've stayed here a few times over the last 3 years, most recently in April 2008. The hotel has been updated a bit over the last year, and is very accomodating. Staff was helpful and friendly on my last stay. Parking is convenient. The hotel location is great for access to the campus - State Street, Kohl Center, and a nice walk to Camp ...

  • never again
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/01/08
    the staff does not know how to run a hotel. the rooms donot have air so the rooms get real stuffy.
    This is not a hotel that someone that stays in hotels on a regular bases should consider.
    this place is run by kids that don't care about the client

  • so and so.
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/11/08
    The customer service could be nicer and smile a little. If you already checked out and need to make a phone call they don't help you. They tell me I can't call from their phones and there are not public phone inside or outside unless you walk at the U.
    The room and bathroom are small but cozy. the breakfast was free and good. You can park your car in their parking lot no later 5 p.m after checking out.

  • You get what you pay for
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/30/07
    I've heard that the building actually used to be a dorm. That explains the size and the excellent location. The beds were not double but not twin...somewhere in between. That makes the rooms a bit cozy for more than 2 people. The bathrooms are small and worn but not actually dirty...just old-looking. The rest of the facilities were nice. ...

  • Terrific modest accommodations
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/12/07
    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 ...

  • Disgusting
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/31/06
    I was ignored at check-in (looked like students running FD, not professional staff), I had a non-smoking room but the hallway stunk like smoke so my room smelled like smoke anyways, the room was disgusting: the shower floor was filthy (almost black with dirt), the carpet also looked filthy like it was full of dander, the bedding was on backwards ...
