My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. The rooms had a strong smell of smoke and felt outdated, which really affected my comfort. The staff at the front desk weren't helpful or friendly, and the cleanliness of the place was questionable. There was a mini-fridge with limited breakfast options, which was a letdown. It's a shame because the location seemed promising.

This hotel has its ups and downs. While I found it to be clean and affordable, the overall atmosphere felt quite outdated. The rooms, although spacious and comfortable, showed signs of wear and tear. The service could use some improvement, especially regarding the check-in process, but I appreciated the friendliness of the staff. It's located a bit far from the main attractions, so keep that in mind if you're looking for convenience.

My stay was surprisingly pleasant given the hotel's exterior, which looked a bit abandoned and dark. The room I stayed in was clean and spacious, providing a comfortable night's sleep. However, the overall building felt dated and could definitely use some maintenance. Despite these issues, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the price for my stay was reasonable considering the circumstances.

My experience at the Magnuson was quite mixed. The location near the Rock River is great for outdoor activities, and the room was affordable and comfortable enough for a night. However, the hotel had some cleanliness issues, and the breakfast offerings were pretty basic. Overall, I was satisfied considering the price, but I wouldn't call it luxurious.

My recent stay at this hotel was challenging to say the least. While there were some positive moments, like the day manager who genuinely tried to help, the overall experience was marred by a lack of cleanliness and a significant safety concern. The room issues and poor response from management made the stay less than ideal. I wouldn't recommend it for a comfortable trip.
