University of Wisconsin-Platteville

The room was small. It appeared to be clean and neat. Breakfast was lean. Common areas needed to be cleaned.

Unfortunately I arrived the afternoon that the hotel was doing major maintenance and construction. During the evening hours I stepped out of my room and the entire second floor hallway was overwhelmed with a burning smell (downstairs construction workers were cutting slab in the dining area). It gave me a migraine :( Not the way I wanted my stay to be. However, the front desk people were very nice and tried to change me to the third floor, but they were booked. If you can, contact the property first to see in what stage they are in the construction before you stay there. Once it is done, it looks like it is going to be good.

Our luck wasn't the greatest it seems... within 10 minutes of checking in and getting to our room, the fire alarm went off, and everyone had to evacuate. Turns out the sprinkler/ water room caught fire. Fire crews responded and indeed had to put out the fire. They then put some fans in the open doors to try to air out the smoke afterwards. Our room was 5 doors away. A few hours later we were able to go back inside, but nothing else was mentioned about the incident.
