The James Madison Inn

This is a beautiful building inside. The lobby has crystal cut windows and a nice sitting area. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The downstairs breakfast room is comfortable and has a home feeling. The rooms are spacious, clean, and SMELL good! The floors and carpets are very clean, unlike regular hotels (which leave sock bottoms dirty gray). I liked the books in each room which had the history of the town. Great idea! The room had a fireplace and comfortable chairs. Very relaxing. A nice park is across the street, restaurants are an easy walk away. This Inn has blown away the other Inns where I've previously stayed. (I gave service 4 stars only because the maids didn't empty the trash or remake the bed. They did resupply clean towels.)

Amazing, historic hotel with great hospitality! My wife and I recently stayed here for a wedding and had a great experience throughout. The property, rooms, and downstairs lounge area were all exceptional. Accessibility: I use a manual wheelchair. In 15 years, this is easily one of the most accessible hotels I've stayed in, which is particularly impressive given how historic it is. The suite, including a roll in shower with a bench, was obviously designed for a wheelchair user, compared with a few small adjustments to meet code that most hotels tend to do. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be staying here on our future visits to Madison.

What a fabulous stay my daughters and I had at James Madison Inn. We enjoyed the Bonar Suite for the two nights we stayed to attend a family wedding. The accommodations were clean and nicely appointed. Mattresses were comfortable and the shower huge with good water pressure, plentiful towels, and housekeeping was quick to respond to a few requests. We highly recommend the location too. Pleasant walking and lovely well kept homes and shops were a pleasure to enjoy. We recommend highly.
