Poynette Holidays

We stayed here for a youth sporting event and it coincidentally coincided with the Coldplay concert in Madison, so bonus that Baymont didn’t cancel our reservation to sell our room. Value was great: free breakfast, inexpensive Happy Hour (although strange they served you from the front desk), pool, hot tub, and cleanliness. The towels were super soft too! Downfall: our room had a strong mildew smell. We immediately turned on the AC and fan to run consistently and still couldn’t escape the smell. Our room carpet was damp upon arrival and remained damp the entire weekend. We knew the area hotels were booked for the weekend, so we didn’t have any options to complain. The pool area could use more seating, especially with busy weekends. The beds were worn and not the most comfortable, but again did the job.

The interior was beautiful, with modern furnishings, a full kitchen, comete with dishwasher for the included kitchenwares, and a washer and dryer for laundry. Would recommend if you need a place to stay for a few days. My one concern for the place is that from a brief talk in the hall with another customer having trouble accessing their room, I was able to deduce that every room in the building uses the same code for entry as the front door. That worries me a little, as anyone that can gain access to that code essentially has a master key. Literally every guest has a master key. Luckily, there are security cameras on the premises to ensure that any shenanigans won't go unnoticed.

Great place to stay near the capitol.

We did not get a roll in shower as requested. We made do with a tub shower but it was hard because my wife uses a wheelchair that’s why a rollin shower was requested.

Incredible spot if you’re touring the University of Madison! Staff was wonderful, the location was excellent, and the hotel was inspiring.
