We stayed in the Boho room and really enjoyed it. Everything we wanted to see during our stay was within walking distance of the loft, which was very convenient. The room was spacious and well decorated and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. Early morning sunlight could be an issue if your intention is to sleep in, but it was not a problem for us. We are already planning our next trip to Madison and will be booking with East Main Lofts again.
We stayed in Farmhouse 204. It was very nice, can't beat the location. Right on Main street, we were able to walk to our favorite spots easily. The bed was actually one of the best we've come across, it was actually comfortable with real pillows of varying thickness which I really appreciate. I hate the jumbo pillows that feel like you're laying your head on a balloon. We will definitely stay again. It was very nicely appointed and we had a wonderful Valentines Day weekend.
Our family recently stayed in East Main Lofts for our extended family reunion. The space is absolutely gorgeous - spacious, open, airy, and beautifully decorated. We were all able to comfortably congregate in the living and dining areas for meals, card games, and catching up. Madison itself is such a cute town, and East Main Lofts was the perfect home base to return to after exploring the stores and coffee shops, eating ice cream by the river, and enjoying some live music downtown. I would highly recommend!
We’ve stayed in the East Main Lofts several times! Specifically the Roller Rink. We love it each time, it’s always clean, spacious, and in a great location for downtown Madison. The owner, Colin, has always been great if we need anything. We try to make it down here for a long weekend each year and will continue doing so in the Roller Rink.
First time to Madison Indiana and we couldn’t have been more pleased with staying at the East Main Lofts, The Haven! We loved the decor of the loft! Beautiful! The king size bed was so comfortable as well as the pillows! The bathroom was a great size as well as the walk in closet. Even the dresser was perfect to have in the bedroom. Cozy. The street noise wasn’t heard at all while sleeping and didn’t bother us while watching tv. Loved that we could see the courthouse clock through the window! Will definitely stay there again!
We had a great experience in the Farmhouse Room, and enjoyed parking our car for the weekend (for free) right outside on the street and leaving it there while we enjoyed being in walking distance to everything. We felt safe and secure. Everything was clean, quiet, and beautifully put together. If there's history on that building, or before and after photos, that would be an awesome touch. Everything was fantastic.
We loved staying here—great location, reasonable price, and a very spacious accommodation with a large seating area. Everything was comfortable and the kitchen is nice and has everything you need. Would definitely stay there again.
Great space for a weekend trip with 8 couples. Every bedroom is so nice and having 8 bathrooms is such a plus! The gathering spacing the Roller Rink is fabulous!! The location is perfect-we never got back in our cars after arrival….walkable to everything. We are looking forward to coming back next year!!
