Cons…Had flowers delivered that never made it to our room. The jacuzzi had rust or some other debris come out of the unit. Pros- Friendly staff, bartender, breakfast was good as was the view to capital.

Hampton Inn & Suites Madison-West
There was a good variety of breakfast items. Front desk staff was easy and polite to work with. The pool needed a little attention (sand and starburst wrappers). The beds were a little hard. Those are nitpicky things though. This was a very good value stay.

Best Western Premier Park Hotel
Great staff. Excellent location. Could use a little bit of an update as the hallways are dim and the rooms are pretty underwhelming especially bc they are a premier. Otherwise great hotel
