The property was under construction and therefore the hallways and common areas were dirty. The room itself was clean and nice. The "breakfast" was cereal, yogurt and toast. They should notify guest that the place is under construction!!!

Construction Zone
The best part of this experience, is that they refunded me my payment and let me get out of there. It is under construction, dusty, tarped. Check in is in a bedroom, no hot breakfast, just some goods in another first floor bedroom. Open ceilings. No pool, hot tub or gym. The 1st, 3rd and 4th floors are out of commission and while the rook. Was tidy, im asthmatic and the dust everywhere was palpable in the air.NOT the place I wanted to be after a 13 hr drive! Hotels com isn't letting me upload photos, but I have them!

I have stayed here before and it's been fine. You get what you pay for and I knew the outside was under construction from a previous stay but didn't realize what the inside would be like this time. No vending or ice. Very loud construction noise in the morning. Little to no food for breakfast (the fruit was rotten). The staff was friendly.

DONT BOOK!!
This hotel is under major construction and it was not advertised as such. There is now a notice on their direct website that says there is renovation but all services are available. NOT true. No pool, no hot tub. Doors/windows all over the lobby, construction equipment surrounding the bldg. Windows out all over the bldg. If arriving at night, no adequate lighting to see where to get to the lobby. Management refuses to refund even though they are fraudulently advertising full services.

Don't stay at Monona Hotel
Hotel under construction without any notice on the website. No pool or hot tub. Bed was hard and pillows were flat. The advertised "room darkening curtains" were just decorative because they didn't cover the windows. I left become I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep there.
