Top Columbus Hotel Reviews

Best Western Premier Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and modern"

Valued Stay Madison

8/10 Good

"In reality, this is a solid 3 stars. Nothing stood out enough to make it a 4 or 5, but nothing was bad enough to warrant a 1 or 2. I officially clicked 4 stars because anything below 4 is seen as "bad" on a review site. Cleanliness: the toilet, shower, floor, linens, shower, desk, fridge, microwave were all clean. There was a spot of something on the bathroom wall (all the walls seem to have been painted within the last few years), but washing down all the walls seems like expecting a lot. Comfort: the heat/AC worked well, the bed was fairly comfortable, and the linens were soft enough. The pillows were great an numerous. Ambiance: there's nothing exciting to look at out the window. This is a utility hotel. Most nights were quiet but there seemed to be people slamming doors all night one night. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Parking seemed tight, especially if I got in later, but I found a spot each night. I could not smell the garbage dump (mid-October weather probably helped). Breakfast: exactly what I would expect from this type of hotel if not for all the reviews praising it. In fairness, I only went on Thurs/Fri, and there just weren't a lot of appealing options for a light meal. I think there were more options on Saturday/Sunday, but I skipped breakfast those days. Overall: as a single person going to an event at the Alliant Energy Center, this was a great choice. I will almost certainly pick the same hotel next year. With family I'd pick some place nicer."

DoubleTree by Hilton Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are small but comfortable, and the bed and pillows are very comfortable! Location is great, front-desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The exercise gym is spacious and well-designed, looking onto a small patio. This is my second stay at this hotel and I would book it again when returning to downtown Madison."
