Best Western Plus InnTowner Madison

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Very conveniently located within walking distance to the hospital."

The Dylin

8/10 Good

"Nice property very close to the capitol. We stayed there for a UW football weekend to visit our Badger. It’s a little far from campus but fortunately the weather was good for walking. The rooms are nice and well-appointed. The walls are pretty thin so there is some noise from other occupants. Parking is an additional cost but there was street parking that is free on the weekend."

Graduate by Hilton Madison

8/10 Good

"Overall, it was very good. Two problems: (1) Only the heat was on when I was staying with the result that my room was very hot. I could open the windows but that meant the noise from the street at night a bit disturbing. Even if I set the thermostat as low as it could go (64 F), the fan blew hot air, so I could not use the fan to mute the outside noise (2) I appreciated the Peloton bike but I hadnt brought my Peloton shoes. The "other" side of the stirrup did allow one to use ordinary sneakers but the placement was awkward and I could not use them well. Some straps might help."
