Is this a new build or a reflagging? From the dates, I would guess new build.

New construction.

There used to be a single-story tire store on that site.

Bookable starting June 8, 2017 - subject to change, and listed for May opening as Sharon noted. Cat 5 seems pretty good for being located right on the Capitol Loop.

It'll be nice to have an option right in the Capitol area instead of being on the far east or west side of Madison.

Tried to check in at 2 AM and nobody was at desk. Had to get the guy restocking the bar to get someone. That was after I figured out how to get into the building, because the main door was locked. Me and another guy stood outside 5 minutes before I found a side door to walk through.

No mention of Plat benefits, but there was a card inside with my room key that said I got a $10 credit PER STAY to use toward food & beverages.

The lobby does have an odor, but not that bad.

3 elevators are fast. I got put up in a handicapped room. Very large, fake wood floor, only one simple desk chair and one other chair in the corner, view of a government building (7th floor).

Housekeeping neglected me one day because I came back to my room for 45 minutes and put the DND sign out.

Location is good. Great view from the gym on 9th floor.

New & modern. No closet door. My pants dragged on the floor when hung, because the bar is too low. I had to iron the last 3" of my slacks each day.

Mini-refrigerator is cold. TV on wall is not adjustable. 2 USB outlets on either side of bed + 2 more at desk. Poor lighting throughout. AC works great. Bed a little too soft for my liking, but I like a very firm bed.

Integral bathtub/shower. Shower and sink drained well.

Ironing board is this miniature thing that stands about 4" off the ground/desktop and is only 2.5' long...just big enough to iron the last 3" of my slacks!
I recommend the Tipsy Cow. Good beer & good food, good service at a fair price.

Downtown Madison is pretty nice and pedestrian friendly. I think the Uber fare from airport was only $13.

I'm surprised that a new AC like that would have bathtubs?

​​​​​​It is, indeed, $10 per stay. However, I think that that becomes a per day credit in August?

What's the breakfast situation here for plats? Trying to decide between this hotel (better location) and Sheraton for an upcoming stay.

Last time I was there it was $10 per day. They have a decent breakfast spread and a great location.
