Just wish there was a sauna or hot tub. Location is amazing to Kohls center, Capitol and downtown. Room price was great comparatively, will stay again for sure!"

Hyatt Place Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"."

Hotel Ruby Marie

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was great, but the area and kitchen where you eat could use some attention. I think a forewarning for the trains overnight would have been helpful, yes, I know that there is a track directly in front of the hotel but a heads up would be great. Need some attention to address the spiders near the windows. I was not a fan. also, if you’re changing up a room that you specifically book, that should be stated when you check in. especially when you have to book a specific room."
