Top Governor Nelson State Park Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Madison West

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best hotel breakfast of our trip. Lots to choose from, and they didn't fill the landfill with disposable plates and bowls but used real dishes. The room was clean and the bathroom well laid out. The pool looked inviting but we didn't have time. We needed to switch from one bed to two and the man at the front desk was very accommodating."

Hilton Garden Inn Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near campus. Perfect if going to Kohl's Center. Easy on site parking and nice bar. Great for a quick trip or a longer."

Best Western Plus InnTowner Madison

"Great stay"

Courtyard by Marriott Madison West Middleton

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. Our only complaint was that their "free breakfast" is only for those who book through their website. It doesn't state that anywhere on the website. We booked through Expedia expecting to get a freebreakfast since it said that online."
