Baymont by Wyndham Madison West/Middleton WI West
"Not what I expected. Drove up and Instantly wanted to turn around and leave. It was a very sketchy place. Tons of dogs barking, room smelt funny, and had animal feces stains on the carpet. Honestly, I was afraid to stay there for the night. Will never return again."
