Valued Stay Aloha

Check in was very easy and helpful. Room was nice and good deal for the price. Was a great place to stay for the Coldplay concert held at Camp Randall this weekend. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay with the price I payed to book.

I highly do not recommend this hotel. Pictures attached do not say enough! Mattresses in the lobby, Construction wood laying around the property, rust on the doors, so dirty I did not even check into the hotel. Was there for a concert and paid over $300 for a room that is non refundable. My photos don’t match up to the photos they have posted. There is definitely false advertising for this specific hotel.

If you're looking for frills, this is not the place for you. However, if you're looking for a clean, safe, and close to downtown, this is perfect.

Unlike: Outside of property needs gardening, painting and other things to look attractive. Receptionist working hours only from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I was leaving to airport at 5:30 AM and had to tell about the checkout the day before. Like: Inside of property was recently renovated (swimming pool in process) and everything looks good. The rooms, kitchen and common areas were quiet and clean. Spacious rooms. The receptionist and employees were attentive and helpful. About 8 minutes to MSN airport. Would stay again.

The staff were really welcoming and accommodating, even though I arrived late and had special needs, which was great! The common areas were really pretty, clean, and nicely updated. Breakfast was simple but good. My bed was comfy and there was great water pressure! The linens were scentless or close to it so I didn't get a rash from the detergent--hard to come by at this price range, and that made me happy. However, the room smelled like old cigarettes and the bathroom was scary in its moldiness--the ceiling was full of it to the extent the ceiling was flaking off in places due to damage. There was a burning smell when I ran the bathroom fan. I'm not sure if it was just because I came late and got one of the last two rooms of the night, but I would have appreciated my room being renovated more before being considered fit for guests. My room did not uplift my spirits. I've stayed at a lot of motels and if all the rooms at this property are like mine, then I can't recommend this property to friends or family, at least until the rooms are updated to match the quality of the common areas. (Even though I would have liked to, for the good parts of the property and its staff.)

Very good

During check in, the clerk didn’t give the correct door password so had to come back to get another one. She did this to the guest who checked in before me as well. Also, after checking in, I went to look around Madison and get some dinner. After I had dinner, I came back and there were no parking in the front so parked in the back. It was raining and there is no entrance except for the front entrance. Had to walk around the building and getting wet from the rain with hands full of things. Then, when I tried to get into the room, the door was locked. Someone was in my room! I was knocking and a man opened the door. Front desk closes at 9p and he was arriving after that time. So he said he received a message with the same room number and code. We spent half an hour trying to get ahold of someone to figure this out. Finally someone responded and he got another room. I wanted to say something but I didn’t get the number he had and it was almost midnight and I was tired asf. Just wanted to call it a day. Will say something in the morning when checking out.

it was inexpensive. They were also renovating at the time. Breakfast was just a small continental breakfast no meat. But it was a really clean comfortable room. It had the cheaper metal frame beds that you could move, but it was cute. It was clean on the inside although the outside wasn’t so pretty.

This is going to be a strange review... It appears this hotel is under new management and a concerted effort to update is underway. On the downside, the pool is disassembled, the outer shell is worn and faded, the sign is almost unreadable. On the inside, there are new vinyl floors, new paint, new locks, new artwork. The beds are lower end but in good shape. Window AC with only controls on the unit. Breakfast is pre-prepared since there doesn't seem to be a kitchen unit-lots of sweetened cereal, pastries, nice fruit, terrible coffee and no protein. Staff were very sweet, although I didn't see much of them over the two days-there isn't someone at the front desk most of the time. The area is struggling: lots of older houses, new huge apartment blocks, a Goth music venue, two "massage parlours" and an X-rated bookstore. No restaurant in easy walking distance. No grocery store. Rapid transit is good, though, the bus that goes downtown to East Town mall is right outside the door with a weather protected stop. So, if you just need a place to sleep and you've got your transportation, entertainment and dining under control? Nice place at a great price. If you want a hotel to do more than just give you a place to sleep, look elsewhere.

The place is clean and quiet. The staff is helpful.
