Quiet, clean, and friendly staff= Grand Stay

We’re choose this hotel because we wanted to walk to a brewery. This hotel was excellent. It was very quiet, clean, and the staff was very nice. It was an easy walk to Octopi Brewery, which has great food and drinks.

15 minutes to airport

Mid-August, flew into Madison airport and drove 15 minutes to hotel. Older hotel that’s been remodeled a few years ago. Late check-in was no problem. Quiet room with comfy king bed on 2nd floor. Note - there is no elevator so you haul your bags upstairs. The desk person offered to help. Room was clean. Air conditioner worked well. Breakfast needs improvement - it’s a basic continental breakfast with waffle machine. I’d stay again for the travel convenience, price and comfort.

This is newly remodeled hotel so everything is pretty new. The breakfast was rather lacking but it was fine. The rooms and beds are nice and clean. It's a very inexpensive decent place to stay in waunakee. I've stayed her 2x this year while visiting my mom and I'm pretty sure I'll be back.

Best Hotel in my Opinion.

Walking to the door i thought it wasn't open but found out they've recently remodeled. I've got to admit this is 1 of the best hotels I've stayed in to date. Staff and owner were extremely accommodating. If ever in area again no doubt I'll be looking it up again.

The room has laminate flooring instead of carpet. I love that. It’s clean and you know it’s clean. The bed and bedding are good. It’s a quiet location. The flat screen is large. The water pressure in the shower is good. All the bases are covered here for a clean comfortable stay
