Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. Even the rather ordinary looking libby restaurant had a truly extraordinary"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Madison American Center

10/10 Excellent

"Never had any major problems when staying there."

DoubleTree by Hilton Madison East

10/10 Excellent

"Just a great stay in general. Thank you."

Best Western Premier Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a nice hotel in a fabulous location. The gym is large (though doesn't have an abundance of equipment) and there is an indoor pool if that is interesting to you. The rooms are good sized and relatively up-to-date. The nit I have to pick is that they charged me $50 to check in ~2 hours early. I have rarely, if ever, experienced this and I have thousands of hotels nights under my belt all over the world. If the room is open and clean, just let people check in. Especially a Hotels.com high status member. it's insulting."

DoubleTree by Hilton Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, room was as described, clean, and comfortable. Enjoyed my stay!"

AmericInn by Wyndham Columbus Wisconsin

10/10 Excellent

"A great experience from check in, to a great breakfast, to all the amenities working in the hotel room. Nice stay !"
