The Marquette Hotel

Nice property easy self check in and communication prior and leading up to stay was helpful. City street parking worked but could be challenging if in the winter time parking rules.

I really liked this property. Very clean and so close to the heart of Madison.

Visiting Wisco for parents weekend This place was a perfect combo of simplicity and convenience. Located just 2 miles from campus ubers back and forth to state street were $8. Nestled in delightful neighborhood with single family homes it had a safe family vibe. There is no front desk but rather a simple door code for the building and your room are provided by text. The rooms felt modern, clean and well appointed. The tv was way to small for the size of the room. The marquette cafe situated on the ground floor of the building had delicious breakfast options and descent coffee. Price was good for a very busy and expensive weekend in Madison if you wanted to stay closer to campus.

Very convenient to Downtown Madison. We loved the easy check in with the use of door code,

"For the independent traveler" is code for absolutely no customer service. I emailed twice about my reservation before I arrived and never got an email back. This should have let me know what kind of place this was. Sure, the hotel room is clean and it has some great IKEA furniture, but the walls are thin and the drunk college students will keep you up all night walking up and down the stairs. There are apparently quiet hours, but who is going to enforce them, especially when they can't be bothered to respond to emails? I would have knocked to ask my neighbors' to be quiet, but as a woman traveling alone, it doesn't feel safe. This whole place seems like a tech bro had an idea about how to make AirBnB worse. It's obvious they don't have employees so they can make money, and your sleep suffers. Basically, I'd recommend this place to someone I didn't care for. They'll think it is nice and then they'll be unable to sleep for their whole stay. There's a reason you can't cancel after 48 hours after booking ---(which seems like an absolutely absurd policy in the post-COVID world)---it is so when you email with questions closer to your reservation arrival and no one responds, you'll be stuck with the bill and forced to stay unless you want to be out of money (at least that's how I felt).

This would have been a good stay except for a few poor notes. 1. No close street parking and building construction going on right out of our window with heavy equipment noises that woke us up at 7 am. 2. Extremely simple/somewhat dated room and furnishings. Nice Smart TV, though. 3. I left a book; softcover and less than 200 pages by mistake. Owner charged me over $28 to return without sending me an "estimate" before he did so as he said he would. I had asked him to send it media mail and he did not. I would not choose to stay here. There are many more options in Madison. Look for them!
