Top Governor Nelson State Park Hotel Reviews

The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

8/10 Good

"Great staff!"

Baymont by Wyndham Madison West/Middleton WI West

8/10 Good

"Staff was wonderful, the room smelled very odd like spoiled milk. The shower head could not be adjusted and the corners of the room looked like they had not seen a vacuum in a while. The bed was very hard but clean. I would stay again. Front desk gentleman was very nice, personable, and informative."

Best Western Plus InnTowner Madison

10/10 Excellent

"Great updates! Clean! Awesome showers, fitness center, pool"

The Edgewater

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location, right on time lake. Reasonable price"

AmericInn by Wyndham Madison West

8/10 Good

"No hot water when I checked in at around 6pm and no hot water this morning. Lukewarm at best and thats being kind. Otherwise good. Breakfast very varied so excellent on that."

Best Western Premier Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, friendly staff and very conveniently located. Everything is nearby…restaurants, coffee shops, UW campus and of course Capitol Building. Highly recommend"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Madison West - Middleton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything looks really clean"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Middleton - Madison West

8/10 Good

"The following comments are in regard to our stay on wed oct 14th. On the morning of thur oct 15th we went down for breakfast. There were apparently 3 or 4 employees working the breakfast buffet. One of them was making pancakes for the other employees, while ignoring customers waiting to use the pancake maker. We overheard her ask her fellow employee "how many do you want?", to which her fellow employee answered "four" (all spoken in Spanish). They were bringing the food in the back room. We finally gave up and just found something else to eat. In the other hotels where we stayed, there was only one staff working in the breakfast room, refilling the food and making sure the guests were being prioritized. They were not helping themselves to coffee and the pancake maker in full view of the guests. I spent many years working in the hotel management industry. This situation constitutes a breach in (1) professional conduct, (2) customer service, and (3) maintaining a sanitary dining environment."

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."
