The room smelt horrendous, a strong mix of mould and harsh chemicals that made it impossible to stay comfortably. It was clearly not properly cleaned or maintained. When I raised the issue, the staff were completely unhelpful and refused to offer a refund. I would never stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Save your money and go elsewhere.

My stay at this hotel was extremely disappointing. The place did not match the description on the website at all. The room was unclean from the moment we arrived the bed sheets already had stains on them, and the staff failed to provide any proper housekeeping throughout our entire stay. We literally slept on the same sheets for the whole week. When we asked for room service, we were only given fresh towels, and the old ones were left in the room instead of being taken for washing. There were cockroaches in the room, and the entire hotel had an unpleasant odour. It was also very difficult to sleep at night due to the constant noise coming from outside. By the second day, we were already looking for a different hotel. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It needs serious improvements in cleanliness, management, and customer service.

Madison plaza is in the city hub so it is convenient to all forms of transport. The staff go above and beyond to help with any enquiries you have. The only down side is no microwave. However alot of restraunts within walking distance from Madison plaza.

This property was very dirty and needs major maintenance. The noise from downstairs and cars was very loud in the rooms. Couldn’t recommend staying here and not worth the amount of money we paid for 1 night.

Friendly staff, had to put up with a domestic first night yelling and screaming at 1am. Room was dirty, mould in places. There was somone elses shaving and head hair all around the shower. Looks like the hotel stopped spending money on this place years ago the rooms are very rundown.

Bed bugs & Lack of care

I checked in and my room had bed bugs. We had just settled and felt something crawling on me. I had a large red bed bug and then the head board had several of them and little whiteish yellow looking like lice. I let the front desk know and they had not other rooms and the person at the desk could do anything for me. I was told to email the manager. I had to check out to another hotel at midnight with my family and find another hotel. I have submitted an email to the manager and no response. I have submitted a complaint to hotels.com and I have been told they can not do anything about it as they have not received a response from the vendor and can not overturn the hotel polices. I was in room 301 I would not recommend this hotel as they do not care about their guests. That room needs to be fumigated and treated. Also they are notes as two hotels The Chiefly and Madison be warned. They are still charging me for both of my nights if my reservation.

First stay at the Madison Plaza. Not sure if I'll stay again. I don't mind a hotel room that's seen a bit of wear and tear, but at $350 per night I would expect something MUCH better.
