I just adore this little place! I stayed in the Paddlewheel Annex although there were rooms available in the main building, on the second night of my stay, I decided to remain in my Annex room. I just loved the view and the coziness of the room.
This is an old place, quite dated. It has a very small but well kept outdoor pool, very quiet. The rooms by the pool are very small. If you want fancy, this isn't it. Great for a peaceful overnight stay right next to key West shrimp house, good place to eat. Has a nice view of the river and a good little bar in the lobby. I wouldn't recommend it if you plan to spend anytime in your room.
Hope the next owners train their staff & aren't so chintzy
Yes, it is not like a chain hotel as you'll need to request things like a blow dryer and ice to be brought from from the main building but the staff are more than willing to accommodate.
So, if you're not a high-maintenance type of guest, you will appreciate the hotel's charm and warmth. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Madison!
Hot bacon dressing served like cold glue, a 3.5 inch extra plate was presented when asked for an extra plate, all plates were flimsy plastic yet metal utensils, servings were small yet prices were large and we were never asked if we needed anything or if everything was alright.
This place has a for sale sign out front
The owner is hands on,really works make your stay comfortable. The beds are so comfortable,the decor is old style inn but comfortable. .The view is magnificent. They have old fashioned log like on a steamboat to rate your stay. Great continental breakfast but also breakfast sandwiches you could microwave. Bar in-house.
It's not perfect, (a little mildew in the tub grout and housekeeping is a little lax) but the bed was very comfortable and the Linens were nice.
Food and service were poor. Not only did 4 servers walk by us multiple times, we had to eventually stop one of them to have our presence acknowledged......
The room had a microwave, good fridge and coffee maker and the air conditioner kept the room nice and cool.
Neat location, cheap rooms. I was given the key to an occupied room and luckily no one was in the room when I walked in. How mortifying that would have been! My room left much to be desired, the bathroom was pretty much a fail and needed updating and there was no phone in the room so I couldn't do a wake up call. For the price, it was ok. The bar and patio seating made up for the room.
I loved sitting out on the long covered porch with a glass of wine to look at the beautiful view in the mornings and evenings. Very relaxed and peaceful.
