Best Western East Towne Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Decent breakfast "

Hampton Inn & Suites Madison / Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel is nicely kept up and the availability of coffee and water in the lobby is a great addition. The only drawback, if you have your own car, is you must check in before you are allowed a room key to get into the garage. Upon check out, front desk staff, as a courtesy, should inform/remind guests to hold on to a room key, should the guests decide to leave car in the garage until 1 pm, time limit for parking. "
