This was such a great hotel at one time. Too bad an investor won't buy and restore it to its original glory. The rate was very good but I don't think the furniture or decorating has been updated in over 20 years. Carpet had holes in it. Lighting was very dim. Not enough outlets to use for business/computer needs. Old... More

This was our 4th time spending a night at this motel in the past 2 years. For the price it is a good deal. We found the room to be clean and unlike the previous review, we have never found it to be dirty. Some voices can be heard from the next room if they are loud, but not unusual... More

This hotel is a good choice for the budget traveller. I have used it twice for multi-night stays in the Madison area. It is in a clean, quiet upscale suburb that has easy access to a major highway into Madison. There are several fast-food vendors in the area. The rooms have been reasonably clean and well kept - the cleaning... More

As a frequent traveler I always inspect hotel rooms before unpacking. Beneath the night stands I found many years accumulation of dirt including a thick layer dust, beer bottle caps, a penny, and a hair binder. The night stands had not been moved in a very long time. Even the space between the night stand and the bed was filthy,... More

I wish I had read more reviews of this hotel before we decided to spend the night! My fiancee & I planned a last minute Wisconsin getaway and I decided on the Karakahl because it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Unfortunately, this historic hotel has degenerated into quite a dump! There were stains all over the first room we... More

I made reservations here with much trepidation after reading the previous reviews. As it turns out, my fears were unwarranted. Much improvement has been made since many of the reviews were written. The parking lot is not covered in potholes. The rooms have been updated, but retain the original charm. The carpet and beds were in good condition. The bathroom... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karakahl Inn. Some of the review make this place look like the Munsters house. It is not. First the price is right. We paid $59 with tax on a holiday weekend. Deal. We had an immaculate room with newer mattresses, free Wi-Fi and best of all Direct TV. Now why everyone thinks this place... More
