The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club
Very nice hotel. Clean and quiet. We stayed in a spa tub room. That was amazing… The Governors Lounge was a huge perk and the food and drinks at the evening and breakfast were amazing! We also had room service from Cric for lunch. That food was also phenomenal. Everything was within walking distance ...

The shower head did not work properly, the door to the bathroom was a barn door that is hard to open/close, there was a folded chair in the shower that took up space and should only be put there if it’s needed. Breakfast was good.
