Moxy Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for what we were in Madison for, very walkable area. Staff was friendly and helpful, got into room early which really helped us out. Room clean and nice lounge in the lobby. The restaurant on rooftop not open night we were there but very good Italian restaurant less than 1 block away. All in all a great experience"

Comfort Suites Madison West - Middleton

8/10 Good

"CONS: The shower curtain was torn in multiple locations & there was no inner lining to it. There were clearly multiple holes in the walls that had been patched over. The cover to the TV remote was missing so you have to hold the batteries in to use it. You can change channels & the volume, but anything that requires the menu is a no go, as the menu only stays up for 1/2 second. I've been seeing this next thing more & more... The inner drapes don't close; they're purely for decoration. It gives me the feeling everyone outside can see everything we're doing inside; creepy. I walked to the entertainment room & thought I'd play pool (8-ball). There were two cue sticks; one had been broken & taped up just enough to be usable, but neither had tips on them. (I mean no tips... period. Useless.) PROS: The bed was decent to sleep on, the shower worked normally & the fridge worked so those are positives. There was also a shuttle service to the location I needed to get to to, which helped. The best thing about the place though was the continental breakfast. Although the eggs were powdered, they still tasted good. There were also sausage patties, waffles, breakfast potatoes, cold cereals, milk, juices, and a handful of other things I can't think of offhand. Overall, I gave it 4 stars because it was actually in pretty good shape, considering this is a college town. Otherwise, I would have given it 2 stars."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Madison American Center

8/10 Good

"Very poor lighting in the bathroom and nowhere to hang more than 1 towel. Countertop was full of folded towels. Bathtub had mold stains and the shower floor was caved in and difficult to stand in. However, beds were comfortable and the breakfast was excellent."
