Hotels Near Lizard Effigy Mound Historic Marker in Madison

Room was clean, comfortable and remodeled. The hall and other areas were dated and had weird smell. Easy to see from the highway but a little harder to get to. Easy check in and out.

I recently stayed for a college bowling tournament. The hotel was full because of a Badger game but never seemed crowded. Staff I encountered were very nice but I can't imagine having to deal with the numerous customer complaints they must receive. Positives: Great rate with our group, easy check-in, beautiful lobby/hallways, clean room, large counter in the bathroom (one sink did not bother me), shower had great water pressure, convenient location to shopping and restaurants. Negatives: Air conditioning had been turned off, so only heat blowing into an already warm space (maintenance man very upset about it/opened our window for us so we could get some air), expensive breakfast buffet when compared with quality, buffet opened 25 minutes late (had to go to Starbucks), mattress was very hard, bathtub/shower seemed much smaller than usual, slow wi-fi even though I have member status, computer in the lobby uses Internet Explorer so none of my Google accounts would work (welcome to the year 2000), pool right in lobby which seemed very awkward. I would only stay here again if I had no other choice. I felt bad for my friends who had a room with a window only into the lobby--no natural light and no way to cool the room. Don't be fooled by the lobby--book a room somewhere else.

This hotel has an incredible staff and is really clean. They get you checked in quickly and never make you feel rushed or under appreciated. The front desk attendant Sharmen even made it really simple to get a wake up call. I will definitely be coming back!!

The hotel is old and has been partially renovated. The bathroom is a bit small. The breakfast is basically the same every day. The lounge has a rich selection of drinks. There is a small bar in the lobby, which is very lively at night.

From booking the room through the hospital, to receiving confirmation, checking in, and my experience over 3 nights (not consecutive) The breakfast was awesome. Room very comfortable and well maintained. Quiet and private. Breakfast was OUTSTANDING, and shuttle service was such a plus and so appreciated! Great staff, Excellent Reataurant and Staff. Will be back!

The service was great and the room was very clean and nice. Refrigerator, microwave, tv, and hair dryer all in great working condition and clean. The morning breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of hot and cold foods. I am really glad I found this place. I didn't use the pool but saw several families using it and it looked great too.

This hotel swooped in to save our evening when another nearby hotel ”lost” our reservation. We were thankful to be welcomed with a free upgrade and in time to grab a beer from the snack area. The room was basic, but very clean and extremely quiet. We had to skip the made-to-order breakfast, but were pleasantly surprised by the choices. We will definitely make this location one of our first choices when we are traveling to Madison again.

We stayed here for the 4th of July weekend and found the hotel to be very nice! The hotel is relatively new and was extremely clean. The bed, bedding and especially the pillows were super comfortable. In fact, I went online and ordered the same pillows after our stay. The room was equipped with a full-size refrigerator/freezer, a microwave, and a small stove and oven. We appreciated that as we got takeout both evenings from local restaurants and we were able to reheat the food and eat in our room. We especially liked the way that the hallways are offset for the rooms as it makes the appearance nicer and also seemed to cut down on noise from the hallway. The hotel has great amenities such as a small theater, swimming pool, and workout room. We were not able to use any of these due to CoVid, but they will be great once the pandemic is over. There were signs advising safety during CoVid as well as hand sanitizers at the front desk and in the elevator, which was greatly appreciated. We only used the elevator upon arrival and departure and used the stairs otherwise. There are only two things that were not perfect. The young man who worked the front desk all three days that we stayed at the hotel was very polite and helpful. He was wearing a mask each time that we saw him, however, he did not have it covering his nose, which definitely cuts down on its effectiveness. We really appreciated that the hotel offered a ”brown-bag” option for breakfast since they could not offer the breakfast buffet due to CoVid. It came with a bottled water, an individual yogurt, an apple and a small muffin. Since each suite has a microwave and a toaster, either an English muffin or a bagel would have been a welcome treat instead of the muffin. Maybe you could offer two types of bags: those with the muffins and apples, and others with bagels and bananas. All in all, we were very pleased with the hotel and will definitely stay there again! If you are looking for a clean, comfortable stay that is close to the interstate, this would be an excellent option for you!

Heidi and Michelle were fantastic; Tru was clean, vibrant, modern and well worth the $$$. Room was perfect though water pressure was a bit low in the shower. will definitely go back the next time i'm in town. Breakfast was warm and varied. Wifi worked well. free waters in the lobby, too, Trul-y a great experience.
