Best Western Plus InnTowner Madison

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, well maintained, and staffed by genuinely friendly people. Breakfast was included, parking was free, and the complimentary shuttle will take you anywhere within two miles until 10:30 p.m.—perfect for getting to the UW Field House for a women’s volleyball game. The hotel also has a nice fitness room, hot tub, and warm pool, plus an on-site restaurant and drinks. With its great location and thoughtful amenities, this place was truly impressive."
