Hotel was unique and quirky which we like over the big chain hotels but, it need some updating and repairs. The bed was very uncomfortable and all the seating in our room needs better support and cushioning. Air conditioner was missing the piece that directs air flow so it blew directly on the bed. Couldn't open the windows either. Probably would not stay here again.

Love this historic hotel very near the WI capitol building. Easy walking to great restaurants. UpNorth Bar in the building with live music is relaxed and you can take the elevator to your room. Nice breakfast included.

Never again

We arrived late and grabbed our room key and parking pass from the bartender. The vestibule to the hotel elevator was full of dead/dying plants. The room smelled musty, it is a very old building and the odor was fitting. The bathtub dripped, the comforter was stained, we woke up in the hollow in the middle of the mattress. The free breakfast consisted of bacon (which we could smell in our room all morning), scrambled eggs, very weak coffee and toast. There was a beverage fridge with one flavor of yogurt, a carafe of juice and a 1/2 gallon of milk. The dining area was filthy. There were stained trash cans in the middle of the room, more dead/dying plants, a glass case of wolf heads (so appetizing) and a couple tables with food underneath and on the chairs. My husband thought he was booking a "boutique hotel". Glad we only needed to be there less than 12 hours. Should have known from the price. You get what you pay for. Also, the train tracks and signal are feet away from the hotel. Hard to sleep through the minutes long signal and flashing lights, not to mention trains rumbling by.
