I stayed at the Fluno Center in Madison and had a pleasant experience overall. The hotel was very clean and well-kept, and the location couldn’t be more convenient with a supermarket right next door and easy access to downtown attractions. However, I would have preferred to have the option of a king bed instead of just a queen. The service was friendly and accommodating, which definitely added to the positive experience.

I had a great stay at the Fluno Center in Madison. The rooms were immaculate and welcoming, making it easy to relax after a busy day. The location was excellent for both a night downtown and a business meeting the next morning. However, I did find the service a bit inconsistent, and while the dining was tasty, it could have offered a wider variety. Overall, it's a solid choice for anyone visiting the area!

My stay was quite pleasant overall. The hotel is conveniently located away from the bustling University Avenue, offering a peaceful environment while still being close to grocery stores and food markets. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, perfect for my Ironman weekend. The only downside was the service, which, although friendly, left a bit to be desired in terms of efficiency.
