Top North Lake Mendota Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Madison West - Middleton by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My family had a great time. The small Waterpark type pool was a huge hit with my 3 boys. Breakfast was great. Id say the only neg we had was our bathroom door wouldn't latch. The person in the room that was adjoining ours had his alarm going off every few mins from like 4am until almost 430 when I finally knocked out the joining doors to wake him up. That was not the hotel management's fault though of course....just a heavy sleeper who wasnt waking up to his alarm, sadly woke up our entire family."
